Playback: the flight screen's playback button opens the album over the
live view, so a video tapped there plays on the aircraft into the feed
with a transport bar. Long press selects files to download or delete
(delete asks first); one file opens in a viewer with the camera's
preview. Leaving the album puts the camera back in its capture mode.
Flight records: every flight is recorded from take-off to landing (1 Hz
track, max height / distance / speed, distance flown, battery used) and
kept on the phone. When it lands while signed in, it is uploaded to the
PilotVault logbook through the existing /api/drones/auto and
/api/flights endpoints as an automatic-path entry with the track as
GeoJSON. Simulator flights are never uploaded; flights recorded while
signed out retry on sign-in. Flight logs lists them with their upload
state and a track map, and the profile stats come from real flights.
Find My Drone: the aircraft's last fix is kept across lost links and
restarts, and shown against the phone's own GPS with distance, direction
and a hand-off to the maps app.
Live streaming: a new LiveStreamBridge streams the main camera to an
RTMP address set in Settings > General, with a LIVE pill on the flight
screen that turns amber when the uplink falls behind and stops on tap.
Pre-flight checklist (manual checks plus the aircraft's live status)
and an in-app Academy with six short guides that work offline.
None of this has run on hardware yet.
