About This Game

Pick a job. Watch it fly. Get paid.

Pocket Pilots is a relaxed flight career over the real world, from NimbleBit, the makers of Pocket Planes. Choose a home airport anywhere on Earth, pick charters, scenic tours and cargo from its job board, and watch your plane fly them in real time. Every landing pays.

The real world, live

Mountains, coastlines, cities and thousands of real airports come from real map data. The weather is live, and so is the clock: fly past Mount Rainier at sunset, wake up to snow in the Alps, or land in the dark beside Manhattan.

Flights go on while you're away

A flight takes its real time, whether you watch it or not. Set off, get on with your day, and check in when it lands. Snap a photo of a famous sight on the way for a tip.

Grow a fleet

Start with a little Skylark and $2,500. Earn your licenses and work up through bush planes, twins and turboprops to jets. Buy, paint and name your planes, and restore classic barn finds.

One sky

Everyone flies in the same world. Start a company with friends to share planes, bases and big charters, join the week's world event, or put your name under a famous landmark.

Free to play

Free, with optional jumps (you and your plane to any airport at once), liveries and the Pilots Club. Sign in with Steam to keep your career, or sign in with Apple or Google to bring the career you fly on your phone.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some of the art was made with AI image tools, then picked and edited by the developer: the app icon, the logo, the cockpit panels' artwork and some textures. The trailer's music was made with an AI music tool. The radio voices are spoken by a text-to-speech model that runs on your computer and only reads lines the game writes: air traffic phrases, airport names and call signs.

Name of AI model included with the game: Piper text-to-speech (LibriTTS-R voices), running on the player's computer
