Troubleshooting Flight Deck and Aircraft connection issues
Having issues connecting flight deck to your aircraft??
Occasionally you may encounter a version of the following issue:
- The Aloft (formerly Kittyhawk) App states that it is connected to Aircraft
- When you tap flight deck the app prompts you to connect to the aircraft or hit refresh
- When you try that, neither option seems to work
If you're encountering this issue, try the following steps:
- Please make sure you're on the latest version
- Try cycling the aircraft/controller, and/or navigating to different screens on the app, and then back to the dashboard
On Android, the default application setting for this connection may be causing a problem. Please go into your app settings and clear out any default app settings for any applications related to this connection (DJI Go, Go 4, Pilot, etc.)
If you keep having issues, do send us a message at support@aloft.ai When you send a support request, it really helps us locate your problem faster if you provide the following details:
- Specific device (iPhone, iPad, etc)
- App version
- Aircraft firmware version
- Aircraft model

Portrait to landscape modes crash
If your Aloft (formerly Kittyhawk) iOS app crashes when you rotate your screen, read this first
We've received reports from some of our customers on app crashes that happen when switching between portrait and landscape modes (horizontal vs vertical orientations)
We've managed to reproduce the issue and it only appears when the user is using the Aloft MapBox map style.
As an interim fix, we recommend switching your map style to a different one.
In the meanwhile, we're working to push out an update in subsequent app versions to resolve this issue.
Aloft app crashing on iOS 10
Running iOS10? Try upgrading to iOS 11 to prevent crashes
If you're having trouble loading the Aloft (formerly Kittyhawk) app, it is likely because you're running an older version of iOS. Try upgrading to iOS 11.4 to ensure you're getting the best experience from Aloft.
