AIR³ Manager Manual

The goal of AIR³ is to provide a turnkey solution for pilots, turning the power and complexity of XCTrack into an easy to use  but powerful solution, without having to enter deeply into the XCTrack application.

AIR³ Manager provides the pilot with easy to understand tools that interact with XCTrack PRO. AIR³ Manager is the best XCTrack Pro companion app.

We strongly recommend to always use the latest version of Air³ Manager. Check in the Software Upgrade instructions page.
