What’s new in Mass Zero
Plain-language notes on what we have shipped recently, including map, tuning, and operations updates. The same timeline appears inside the app after you sign in.
- New
Knowledge and Troubleshooting, with a guided assistant in the Help Center
A new Knowledge and Troubleshooting page searches a built-in FPV compendium built from a large archive of instructional flying and tuning material. Describe a symptom and Mass Zero returns the likely causes, the fixes operators use, and the flight-controller parameters that matter for your firmware and version. An assistant in the Help Center answers in plain language and works only from those same entries, so every answer traces back to something you can open and read.
- New
Parameter dictionaries for ArduPilot and PX4, plus the newest INAV builds
The parameter dictionary behind configuration and tuning now covers ArduPilot and PX4 alongside Betaflight and INAV, refreshed from each project’s own releases. Open a drone’s configuration and the descriptions, ranges, and defaults match the firmware version that aircraft is running.
- Improved
Betaflight 2026.6 recognized across the firmware profile system
Aircraft on Betaflight 2026.6 are identified correctly, and the parameters, capability checks, and configuration options Mass Zero offers match that release.
- Fixed
A wide pass over work orders, flight logs, incidents, batteries, and PMCS
Dozens of fixes landed together from a full sweep of the operations screens. Work orders ask for confirmation before a quick status change and follow the same list layout as the rest of the app. Flight-log paging and linking behave. Incidents keep the coordinates you applied and hold the map on a re-edit. Battery chemistry, health, and retirement, insurance policy amounts, PMCS template applicability, and Hours of Service driver and time-zone entry were all corrected. Fleet vehicles and transmitters can now be edited and deleted from the fleet screens.
- New
Speed controller settings on the drone Configuration tab
Mass Zero reads the speed controllers on a connected aircraft over USB and shows what each one is running. AM32 and BLHeli_S or Bluejay controllers report their firmware name, version, and key settings, so you can confirm all four match before a flight. The read is passive and changes nothing on the aircraft.
- New
Guided ExpressLRS WiFi update panel
A step-by-step panel walks you through updating an ExpressLRS module over its own WiFi hotspot and tells you exactly which target and version to pick for your hardware.
- Improved
Add a drone over USB, delete a drone, and clear the demo data
Plug in a flight controller and Mass Zero can create the aircraft from what it reads. Deleting a drone is available from the fleet screens, and the demo data a new account starts with can be wiped from one place once you are flying real aircraft.
- Improved
Radio settings backup and restore
The transmitter Settings tab loads your radio’s configuration automatically when the SD card is connected. Take a backup before you change anything and restore it if a change does not work out.
- New
Component catalog with costs, and detected hardware added for you
A catalog of known parts and their costs backs the component list on every aircraft. When Mass Zero detects a flight controller or receiver over USB it adds the matching component to that drone on its own, so the build sheet and the cost picture stay current without data entry.
- New
One component inventory per drone, with firmware versions
Every drone now has a single consolidated component list showing the flight controller, receiver, and other parts alongside the firmware version each one is running. Mass Zero watches those versions and tells you when a detected version drifts from what it last saw.
- New
Battery inventory on every plan
Track batteries with cycle count, health percentage, and a lifecycle state of active, storage, or retired. Chemistry is free text so unusual packs fit, and the whole feature is available on the free tier.
- New
Custom drone images, in the app and on the radio
Give an aircraft its own photo in the fleet list and on its profile page, then push a matching bitmap to the model on an EdgeTX radio so the same aircraft looks the same in both places.
- New
Push flight-controller parameters and pull blackbox logs over USB
Connect a flight controller through the browser and Mass Zero can write configuration back to it and pull recorded blackbox logs off its onboard memory, then file those logs against the right aircraft and mission. Configuration and Parameters are now one screen on the drone profile.
- Improved
Community ratings and reviews on the script catalog
The EdgeTX script catalog gained star ratings and written reviews, so you can see what other operators think of a tool before installing it. Eight more popular community Lua scripts joined the catalog in the same pass.
- New
EdgeTX model management from the browser
List, rename, edit, and delete the models on an EdgeTX radio through its SD card, and create a new model from a drone already in your fleet. Mass Zero writes only the fields you changed and leaves the rest of the file untouched.
- New
Radio settings editor with the right control for each setting
Edit radio settings from a form built out of your own radio’s configuration file, with a slider for volume, a dropdown for voice language, and localized labels. Only the settings your radio has appear.
- New
Install any version of transmitter firmware, including older ones
Pick any release from the firmware catalog, older ones included, so you can recover a radio by reflashing the version it was on. Each version links out to its own documentation.
- New
Script management on the radio SD card
Connect a radio in USB storage mode and Mass Zero reads its version, its board, and every Lua script installed on the card. Install or remove scripts from a browsable catalog of community tools, single files or multi-file bundles alike, and see what each installed script does and where its documentation lives.
- New
Transmitters join the fleet, with firmware updates in the browser
Register your EdgeTX radios alongside your aircraft. Mass Zero watches upstream EdgeTX and ExpressLRS releases, tells you when an update is available for a radio you own, and flashes it over USB straight from the browser with erase, write, and verify progress on screen.
- New
Receivers, with a compatibility view against your radios
Track receivers as part of an aircraft or as spare profiles, with their protocol and firmware version. Mass Zero checks compatibility in both directions and flags a radio and receiver that have drifted onto versions which will not talk to each other. Receiver data syncs offline in the companion app like the rest of your fleet.
- Improved
The device catalog is editable at any time
Radios, receivers, and RF links come from a catalog an administrator can add to whenever a new product appears, so you are never waiting on a release to see your hardware in the dropdown.
- New
Capture a drone’s configuration over USB without a paired device
Plug a flight controller into the browser and Mass Zero reads its full configuration into that drone’s history, including aircraft that have never been bound to a telemetry device.
- Improved
Planning map gains a locate control and inline drone creation
Jump the planning map to your current position with one button, and add a drone without leaving the map. Personal Pro accounts can see their swarm peers on the planning map.
- New
Multi-day weekly mission schedules
A recurring mission can run on any set of days in the week. The scheduling wizard also stops flagging steps you have not reached yet as problems.
- Improved
Attach a boundary you draw to an existing geofence
Draw a shape on the fleet map and attach it to a geofence you already created, without starting over.
- Improved
Step-response analysis rebuilt on the reference method
The step-response tool in log analysis now follows the same deconvolution method the reference tuning toolbox uses, so the traces you read here line up with the ones experienced tuners already know. The Betaflight and INAV log decoders were corrected in the same pass.
- New
A mixed-fleet demo world you can fly before your hardware arrives
A seeded demo company arrives with drones, ground vehicles, crew, and operating bases across a full industry scenario, and any asset in it can be handed to a simulator running real flight-controller firmware. Evaluate the cockpit, the map, missions, and maintenance against moving aircraft while you wait on hardware.
- Improved
Route planning starts where you say and takes a list of addresses
Set the starting point for a route yourself, with the fleet base as the fallback when you do not, and import a batch of addresses in one go.
- New
Satellite, aerial, and 3D basemaps on the fleet map
The fleet map gained a satellite basemap, high-resolution aerial imagery for staged areas, 3D terrain with hillshading, and 3D buildings. Map tiles, address search, and routing all run on infrastructure Mass Zero hosts, so the map keeps working on a private or restricted network.
- Improved
Directions and route planning share one Routing menu
Driving directions and the route planner now sit together in a single Routing menu on the fleet map. The old sidebar flight-path button became a follow-asset control that keeps the map centered on a moving aircraft or vehicle.
- Improved
Clearer fleet map with clustering, labels, and type-aware icons
Assets cluster as you zoom out and expand into a list on click, with a mini-map preview when you hover a cluster. Drones, ground vehicles, pilots, and devices each get their own marker style, and an optional label layer names them on the map. Tracks arriving from a tactical feed now carry their callsign and type.
- New
Every telemetry point says where it came from
Telemetry is tagged the moment it arrives as live, simulated, or synthesized, and a chip on the drones page and in the map quick view shows which. A demo aircraft can no longer be mistaken for a real one in the same fleet.
- New
Attitude display in the cockpit
The cockpit gained an attitude indicator with three looks: a compact corner overlay, a full instrument panel with a live GPS map, and a minimal FPV-style horizon line drawn over the video. The overlay line color is yours to pick.
- New
Route Builder on the fleet map
Drop multiple stops on the map, optimize the order across one vehicle or several, and save the result as a mission that runs once or on a schedule. The optimized route stays attached to the mission, so dispatch and the crew read the same plan.
- Improved
Fleet profiles and the pinned quick view cover vehicles too
The fleet profile page and the pinned quick-view dock on the map handle ground vehicles the same way they handle drones, so a mixed fleet reads as one fleet.
- New
Hours of Service tracking with an ELD-style duty log
Mass Zero tracks duty status against the federal Part 395 hours-of-service rules, covering the 11 and 14 hour clocks, the 30 minute break, the 70 hour eight-day limit, the 10 hour reset, and the adverse-conditions and short-haul exceptions. Drivers get a familiar log graph and live clocks, and dispatch can see who is close to a limit before assigning the next run.
- New
Activity logs, scoped to each workspace
Every workspace keeps its own activity log, visible from a person’s profile and from the admin screens, so you can see who did what and when without leaving the product.
- New
Ground vehicles join the fleet: OBD-II and CAN telemetry alongside your drones
Mass Zero is no longer drones-only. Add cars, trucks, and ground equipment to the same fleet and watch them on the same map and dashboard as your aircraft. A vehicle plug reads fuel level or battery state of charge, odometer, position, and live diagnostic trouble codes over the standard OBD-II and CAN bus, so a check-engine light or a low charge shows up next to your missions and maintenance. Vehicles flow into the same work-order and maintenance lockout flows your aircraft already use.
- New
One unified asset inventory for every drone and vehicle
A new All assets view lists every drone and ground vehicle your company operates in a single grid, with a kind tag and the shared fields that matter across both, covering fleet, status, last telemetry, and maintenance state. Search and filter the whole fleet from one place instead of bouncing between separate drone and vehicle screens, then click into any asset for its full detail page.
- Improved
Connect any asset over whatever link is on hand
Drones, vehicles, and field devices now connect over whichever path is available (USB cable, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, the browser’s serial port, the cellular bridge, or your tenant’s message broker), and the app picks one automatically instead of forcing one transport. If a phone or laptop is in range of an asset, that asset is reachable; when one link drops, the connection moves to the next available path without losing your session.
- Improved
Cockpit, fleet map, and chat polish from the in-flight slice round
Eleven in-flight improvements landed together: an upgraded MUI component foundation keeps grids, dialogs, and date pickers consistent across the app; the fleet map on the companion app gains a lightweight rendering mode that loads faster on phones; flight-plan and operations screens look the same on a phone as on the desktop. Background data wiring is more resilient. Telemetry over the realtime channel survives more network hiccups, and per-user preferences (saved map layers, dashboard layouts, theme) now live in the browser’s database so they outlast tab refreshes and sync across tabs in the same browser.
- Improved
Video profile picker for live mission feeds from the companion app
Pilots publishing a live feed from the companion app can now pick a video profile that matches the network they are on (high-bitrate on Wi-Fi, balanced on LTE, low-bitrate on weak cellular), so the picture stays watchable instead of stalling. Each profile sets codec, bitrate, and keyframe cadence behind the scenes; you just pick the one that fits.
- Improved
Tighter security on the companion app’s swarm pilot publisher
When the companion app broadcasts the pilot’s position into the swarm so the lead drone can anchor a formation on you, that publisher is now scoped to the active fleet, gated on permission, and disabled by default unless you have explicitly turned it on for the operation. Inadvertent broadcasts on the wrong network can no longer happen from a stale session.
- New
Spring release roll-up: fleet cockpit, swarms, FC parameters, offline-first companion, and more
A large bundle of work lands together as part of the spring release. Highlights you can use today: the fleet cockpit lets you see, arm, recall, and reposition every drone in a fleet as one; the new Swarms screen makes formations and shared configuration push first-class alongside missions; per-drone Parameters and Components tabs surface flight-controller settings and hardware in one place, with an admin-side dictionary keeping definitions versioned per firmware; the companion app keeps a working copy of missions, drones, flight plans, alerts, and chat so pilots stay productive without signal; the live-streaming experience is rebuilt around a separate watch surface that finds active streams without needing a mission; and the cockpit, fleet map, and companion now talk to ArduPilot, PX4, and INAV airframes through the same controls.
- Improved
Cellular telemetry bridges: hardened modem, on-board GNSS, and recovery paths
Telemetry bridges in the field handle weak-signal networks more gracefully. The cellular modem now recovers its data session if the broker drops the line, attaches to LTE within a bounded window instead of retrying forever, and the on-board GNSS receiver provides position to the bridge directly. Result: fewer ghost outages on long-running roadside or rural-asset deployments.
- Improved
Mesh-radio lab integration for radio-only operations
Mass Zero now has a working lab integration with Meshtastic mesh radios, so a drone-side bridge and a ground-side mesh node can carry tracking and tactical events between them without any cellular or Wi-Fi network. The pieces are wired end-to-end on the bench today; pilot trials with real field hardware follow in the next cycle.
- Improved
Off-the-shelf OpenTAKServer with Authentik single sign-on
Tenants that bridge to TAK can now run a stock OpenTAKServer instance behind their existing Authentik single sign-on without forking the server. ATAK enrollment goes through the same identity provider your operators already use for Mass Zero, so there is no separate password to manage and access can be revoked from one place.
- Improved
Flight plans: automatic advisory checks after you save
When you save a flight plan, Mass Zero can run plan validation in the background (airspace corridor hints, NOTAM receipts, and weather pointers). Results are advisory and carry no FAA authorization. Saving your draft never waits on those checks. A new Help article explains the difference between automated validation and your on-site pilot checklist.
- New
Fly your fleet alongside ATAK and other tactical maps
Mass Zero can now share live aircraft positions with ATAK, WinTAK, iTAK, and other tactical awareness tools, so your drones show up on the same picture as ground units. Enable TAK Integration on your workspace and a Mass Zero administrator wires the bridge to your TAK server, with no extra adapter on each phone. Aircraft, pilots, and home sites publish as standard tactical tracks; your TAK operators see the fleet without leaving the map they already use.
- New
Live video from the aircraft on the fleet map
Open Live on any aircraft (or mission) and watch the on-board camera straight from the cockpit, with no separate viewer and no extra app. Streams use your tenant’s media broker so the picture stays inside your workspace, and connections recover automatically if the network blips. Live video joins the same fleet-map view as telemetry, missions, and maintenance.
- New
Fleet-wide control: arm, recall, and move every drone as one
The new Fleet Swarm add-on lets you command every aircraft in the fleet as a single formation. Drag the fleet home point and the whole group repositions; arm or recall everyone with one click; per-drone overrides stay one click away. Pair it with single-drone Live Control to switch between flying the formation and flying one specific aircraft from the same screen.
- New
Direct-from-the-cockpit single-drone control (Live Control add-on)
Live Control turns the cockpit into a real flying surface for one aircraft at a time: arm, set mode, override stick inputs, and ride telemetry without leaving the browser. It works alongside Fleet Swarm for whole-fleet commands and the companion app for field operations on a phone.
- Improved
Public connection point for your aircraft and edge devices
Drones, ground stations, and partner devices can now connect into your workspace over a managed public connection point instead of needing a VPN or static IP. Authentication is per-device, scoped to your company, and the connection survives network changes, so aircraft pick up where they left off when signal returns.
- Improved
Offline-first companion app for field operations
The Mass Zero Companion app now keeps a working copy of your missions, drones, flight plans, and chat on the phone, so pilots can plan, log flights, and run preflight checks even when the cell tower drops. Edits queue locally and sync the next time the phone sees the network, with no manual export and no lost log entries.
- Improved
ArduPilot, PX4, and INAV airframes share one cockpit
Mixed-firmware fleets are first-class. The cockpit, fleet map, mission desk, and companion app talk to ArduPilot, PX4, and INAV airframes through the same controls. Add airframes from any of the three stacks without picking sides on the autopilot.
- New
Fleet Cockpit and better resiliency (2026 Q2 release)
Watch every drone in your fleet on one screen and arm, recall, or move the whole group as one. Drag a fleet home point and the formation repositions automatically; per-drone overrides are one click away when you need them. Aircraft keep flying when the cloud, the cell network, or the on-site broker drops. They pick the best link available (local WiFi, cellular, or radio) and switch automatically. ArduPilot, PX4, and INAV airframes share the same cockpit and fleet view, so mixed-firmware fleets work day one. The companion app on a pilot’s phone adds tracking, navigation, mission calendar, team chat, logbook, and config push from the field. Cockpit single-drone control, fleet-wide commands, and TAK integration ship as separate add-ons; see the Pricing page or your shop for entitlements.
- New
Flight planner with weather and pre-flight airspace checks
Operations → Flight plans is a new place to draft routes and operation areas, assign a drone, set a planned start/end window and max altitude, and save the plan as draft, ready, or archived. Each plan runs a pre-flight check against the same FAA advisory layers the fleet map uses and labels the result Clear, Advisory, or Restricted. An NWS hourly forecast accordion auto-expands once a route is drawn so you can see temperature, wind, sky cover, and precipitation chance during the planned window. Available on the same module gate as the fleet map (drones + geospatial).
- New
Modernized fleet map renderer for smoother panning and crisper labels
The fleet map now defaults to a vector-tile engine. Panning and zooming feel smoother with heavy advisory layers loaded, labels stay crisp at every zoom level, and basemap-to-overlay redraws no longer flicker. Saved views, shared layout links, and drawing tools carry over unchanged. If your administrator needs to pin the previous renderer for a deployment, that path is still available.
- New
3D mode on the fleet map: tilt, rotate, and city buildings
Turn on 3D from the map controls to tilt the camera, rotate the bearing with right-drag or a two-finger gesture, and reveal extruded city buildings around your flight area for a more realistic sense of obstructions. Switching back to 2D stops in-flight camera motion and snaps the view to top-down north-up so planning lookups stay consistent.
- New
Telemetry replay for camera-style logs
Camera blackboxes from supported action cameras now decode through a separate replay pipeline. Open the log detail page and pick the Replay tab to see camera identification, an IMU sample chart with gyro and accelerometer traces, and a GPS summary side-by-side. FC tuner logs continue to use the existing blackbox explorer; the page tells you which pipeline a log used.
- New
Save a personal home point on the planning map
Individual users can mark a home base (a launch site, field, or staging area) that appears as a pin on the planning map and pre-centers the view on sign-in. Set, rename, or clear it from the map without affecting other teammates’ views.
- Improved
Street-level imagery from a right-click on the fleet map
Right-click anywhere on the fleet map and choose Street view to open the nearest publicly available street-level photo in a full-screen viewer, which is handy for scouting launch sites and obstructions before flight. The dialog falls back gracefully if no nearby imagery is published.
- Improved
Print-ready driving directions on the fleet map
The driving directions panel adds a Print button that produces a clean, header-and-steps printout of your route and turn list, easy to hand to a driver or attach to a mission folder.
- Improved
Mobile-friendlier fleet map and workspace chat
On phones the fleet map normalizes its workspace into a single readable pane instead of trying to fit desktop multi-pane layouts onto a small screen, and the company workspace chat picks up a floating action button so it stays reachable without dominating the view. Layouts you saved on desktop are not changed.
- Improved
Trend lines on fleet dashboard analytics tiles
Log health, performance, and compliance widgets on the fleet dashboard now include rolling-window trends so you can see direction of travel between periods rather than only the current snapshot.
- New
Enterprise white-label portal option for your own hostname
When your contract includes it, your administrator can pin the product to a custom host with a fixed visual theme so visitors see your brand domain. The shop lists this as a separate workspace add-on from the core module bundle; your billing contact provisions it alongside Enterprise-tier policy.
- New
Fleet map: multi-pane layouts for side-by-side or grid views
On larger screens, open the map layout control to run one map, two stacked or side-by-side maps, or a four-up grid. Drag the seam between maps to resize; your layout choice and split sizes are remembered on this browser. Extra panes use the same basemap and fleet markers so you can compare different areas at once. Drawing tools and the heaviest advisory overlays stay on the primary map so performance stays predictable.
- New
Operations calendar: missions, maintenance, and planning in one grid
Operations → Calendar shows scheduled missions and due maintenance work orders together (when your company has the right modules). Drag or resize events to update times; empty cells offer quick add. Older mission-only and work-order-only calendar URLs redirect here.
- New
Mission desk: preflight, readiness evidence, and safer go-ready rules
Missions move through clear lifecycle states with a built-in or fleet-assigned preflight checklist. When a mission is marked Ready, we can retain advisory and preflight context for auditors. If your administrator turns on stricter flight-planning policy, moving to Ready may require an audited reason when the saved route still hits blocking advisories.
- New
Clients hub: sites, contacts, missions, and geofences tied to customer locations
CRM-enabled teams get a client directory with per-site maps and documents, named contacts (including account leads), missions rolled up per client, and geofences anchored to client sites when geospatial tools are on.
- New
Report exports and scheduled email delivery
With the Reporting company module, run ad hoc exports from the reports wizard and schedule recurring CSV-style deliveries to teammates or saved client contacts.
- New
Fleet dashboard: drag-and-drop analytics tiles with saved and shared layouts
Fleet operators can arrange log-health, performance, compliance snapshot, and other widgets on a persistent grid; save a personal layout, publish an organization default, or share a read-only layout token for teammates to import.
- New
Curated integration guide, company API keys, and outbound webhooks
Paid API Integrations and Telemetry Ingest modules unlock an in-app REST reference (not the raw admin OpenAPI), company-scoped integration keys with optional IP limits and scopes, and documented outbound webhooks for automation partners.
- New
Mission live video when your tenant enables streaming
From the missions list, open Live on a mission to start a browser WebRTC viewer against your deployment’s media server, with session metadata over realtime channels. Your platform team must configure the streaming backend; otherwise the app explains that live view is not wired yet.
- New
Richer log analysis: multiple sessions, add-on analyzers, cancel in flight, and clearer proposals
Blackbox library logs with more than one flight session let you pick which session you are viewing, analyze selected sessions or all at once, add new analyzer modules on top of a prior successful run without redoing everything, and cancel a long run from the UI. Tuning proposal tables prefer the server’s consolidated recommendation document when present.
- New
Blackbox explorer and optional GPS flight path on decoded logs
The log detail experience includes an interactive trace explorer with stackable signals and, when GPS is present in the export, a map tab for that session’s path over basemap tiles.
- New
Log-driven PID sandbox under Tools
From Tools, pick a drone and decoded log session to tweak PID-style gains against the measured baseline and see projected step-response style metrics before you touch hardware.
- New
Maintenance hub, PMCS, and work orders with calendar integration
Fleet maintenance status, PMCS intervals, lock-out/tag-out awareness, and work orders, including server-assisted PMCS tickets, tie into the same operations calendar and map quick views so mechanical readiness sits next to flight planning.
- New
Batch register drones and edge devices
Organizations above the individual Free tier can import many drones or field devices in one guided step instead of clicking through single-row forms.
- Improved
Fleet map: named saved views, teammate share links, and smoother heavy overlays
Save layer and filter combinations, copy a link that restores your map context for a colleague, and benefit from less flicker when panning large FAA polygon layers. Optional airline hub routes from OpenFlights data appear when your host provides the supporting database.
- Improved
Help center covers plans, tiers, and step-response testing
In-app help explains subscription differences with published list prices where applicable, and walks pilots through the same stick twitch protocol our step-response analyzer expects.
- New
Planning map included on Free and Pro
Individual Free and Pro accounts now get the same geospatial planning experience under Operations → Planning map: FAA advisory layers, optional chart overlays, weather and NOTAM feeds where your deployment enables them, and geofence drawing when your tenant turns on geospatial tools. Live aircraft markers from fleet telemetry still require the Fleet map company module for organizations that want operations-center tracking on top of those layers.
- Improved
Simpler fleet map layer names and combined flight restrictions
Simple list mode now offers one Flight restrictions toggle that turns on the main advisory restriction layers together, while the full layer list stays available for fine control. Normal mode groups restriction-related FAA layers under one purpose heading and shows layer explanations in hover tooltips so the drawer stays compact.
- Improved
Cleaner FAA layer list on the fleet map
The Layers drawer can hide non-production FAA test and example map layers by default so everyday planning focuses on operational data; you can still turn them back on when you need to compare against those feeds.
- Improved
FRIA layer includes recreational flyer fixed sites
The green FAA FRIA overlay on the fleet map now loads community recreational flyer fixed-site polygons together with recognized identification areas so you see both planning contexts without toggling a second duplicate layer.
- Improved
Clearer live TFR overlay on the fleet map
Temporary flight restriction polygons from the FAA Graphic TFR feed draw behind mission and NOTAM overlays so large areas are less likely to hide what you are planning. Popups can link out to the FAA site for the same NOTAM when available; mission overlap hints now follow this live layer.
- Improved
IFR enroute chart overlays on the fleet map
Optional FAA IFR low and high enroute chart tiles join the VFR sectional overlay in Charts so you can compare familiar instrument products when planning.
- New
Link multiple tuning logs to one operational flight
From Flight logs (ops), open a flight and attach or detach blackbox library logs on the same aircraft so operations records stay aligned with what you tuned or decoded, without duplicating flights.
- Improved
LAANC FAA lab HTTP probe for operators (admin API)
When the API is configured with a FAA lab base URL, IdP operators can run a bounded HTTP GET probe from the admin path to verify connectivity before deeper LAANC integration. This is a diagnostics hook. Pilot-facing LAANC submission is separate work. Controlled-airspace authorization still requires FAA-approved channels until we announce a live USS path.
- New
Operational flight records from field telemetry
When the companion app or another edge device streams GPS with a flight session id, Mass Zero keeps one operational flight row per session and closes it when you end the session. That sits alongside your tuning log library and manual logbook entries so compliance-minded teams can separate ops flights from blackbox tuning work. Company owners, admins, and managers can edit companion-sourced rows; other roles can still read them.
- Improved
LAANC USS foundations in the API (airspace authorization roadmap)
We added database support, audit-oriented tables, and FAA-style authorization certificate text for Part 107 and recreational (§44809) paths, plus a configurable USS health endpoint for future FAA integration checks. Controlled-airspace authorization is not available in the product yet; always obtain LAANC or other ATC approval through FAA-approved channels until we announce a live USS integration.
- Improved
Clear positioning for field Companion and in-flight roadmap
We documented the default F-light path: pilot telemetry and operations context from the Companion app and edge ingest. Flying the aircraft stays in the cockpit. The marketing site reflects that field story alongside the public What’s New timeline. Deeper OEM flight control stays a separate, gated program if we pursue it later.
- New
NOTAM overlay on the fleet map with live updates
Optional NOTAM markers show active U.S. notices next to your aircraft. The map stays in sync as the connected feed changes, so new and expiring items appear without reloading the whole page. Always confirm against official FAA NOTAM sources before flight.
- Improved
Marketing site easier to use on phones
Navigation opens in a mobile drawer and the header stays within the viewport, so links and language switching remain easy to tap on small screens.
- New
Install Mass Zero like an app on desktop and mobile
The web app can be added to your home screen or dock for quicker access, with offline-friendly shell caching where supported.
- New
Public fleet map, maintenance, and compliance pages on the marketing site
Visitors can explore the fleet map experience and read maintenance and compliance highlights before signing in.
- Improved
Fleet map quick view shows live telemetry and maintenance context
Selecting an aircraft on the map surfaces key status details in one place so operators can scan health without leaving the map.
- Improved
National Weather Service context on the fleet map
Optional weather layers group forecasts and alerts alongside your aircraft so weather-aware planning stays on one map.
- New
Drone industry news in the app
A news hub highlights stories about drones and regulations, and you can pin industry headlines on the fleet dashboard when you want them in view.
- Improved
Clearer U.S. airspace context on the fleet map
Optional map overlays can highlight selected U.S. flight restriction and advisory areas to support safer planning.
- New
FAA VFR sectional chart overlay on the fleet map
Plan with familiar aeronautical chart styling when you turn on the sectional overlay alongside your fleet.
- Improved
Create or edit missions from the calendar with the mission grid wizard
Calendar flows open the structured mission builder so scheduled work stays consistent with grid-based planning.
- Fixed
More reliable U.S. weather forecast windows
Forecast window requests route correctly so regional short-term outlooks load as expected.
- Improved
Simpler signed-in navigation
The app shell navigation is simplified on desktop so core areas are easier to reach day to day.
- Improved
Broader language support across customer-facing surfaces
More screens in the shop and field tools are available in additional languages where translations are ready.
- Improved
Fleet dashboard focuses on company scope and layout
Company-scoped views and an updated right-hand palette make fleet status easier to scan at a glance.
- New
Optional Authentik sign-in path for device telemetry
Teams using Authentik can bind IoT-style OAuth for compatible field devices that post telemetry into Mass Zero.
