The JumpSeat app's map allows users to click on any airport to see if any reports have been posted with critical information for pilots.

A new iOS app called JumpSeat has launched to help crowdsource important information that isn’t always included in a Notice to Air Missions (notam). The app has been in beta testing since June and is now available to any user, currently for free.

JumpSeat was launched by company co-founders Ben Zavadil and Brad Doebelin to provide an easily accessible repository of information that either isn’t covered by notams or that pilots have to search for in siloed locations such as online forums and social media or that might be local knowledge from ground handlers.
