Once you have dispatched a flight through the Dispatcher Wizard, FlyAround begins tracking your flight in real time. The Active Flight screen is your command center while airborne.
Accessing the Active Flight View
- Navigate to Active Flight from the main navigation
- Or click the active flight shortcut in your pilot summary (top of the hamburger menu)
- The app automatically redirects to this view when a flight is in progress
Real-Time Tracking
FlyAround connects to MSFS via WebSocket and continuously receives:
- Current aircraft position (latitude/longitude)
- Altitude
- Speed (ground speed / airspeed)
- Heading
- Flight phase
The flight phase updates automatically as you progress through your flight.

Click Complete Flight in the Speed Dial. The flight is logged to your Logbook and a full flight report is generated.
