Pathfinder LZ
Know the ground before you commit to it.

Pathfinder LZ turns any point on the map into a complete, shareable landing zone, brief coordinates, terrain, obstacles, and weather so ground crews and aircrews are working from the same picture, in the format aviation actually uses.

The problem it solves:

The off‑airport landing zone is one of the highest risk, least documented moments in rotary wing operations. Too often it comes down to a hasty verbal exchange and coordinates read in the wrong format. Consumer maps speak in decimal degrees; aviation speaks in degrees, decimal, minutes, and MGRS. That mismatch puts aircraft in the wrong place.

Pathfinder LZ closes that gap. Drop a scaled ring on the exact spot, and the app pulls together everything that describes it then hands you a clean brief you can read to an aircrew or send in seconds.

Built for the Mission

Pathfinder LZ adapts to how you actually work, with dedicated brief formats for each mission:

Civilian MEDEVAC — for HEMS and EMS ground crews
        Search & Rescue — for SAR teams and incident command
         Law Enforcement — for aviation units and tactical support
         Military 9‑Line MEDEVAC — built to doctrine, with wartime and peacetime modes

What it gives you, at the point you choose

Live weather for the landing zone, by coordinate.
State and county boundaries for fast orientation.
‍A scaled landing‑zone ring to see exactly how much ground you have.
Hazards and obstacles you mark yourself, with standard chart symbology.
FAA airports and heliports on the map, including nearby medical helipads.
Terrain elevation and slope at the LZ, so you know what you're setting down on.
Verified coordinates in DD, DDM (aviation), and MGRS convert instantly and read the right format to the aircrew.

Works Where You Work

Field operations don't wait for a signal. Pathfinder LZ is built to keep working when the network doesn't:

‍Coordinates and conversions work fully offline.
‍Download offline map areas in advance for use with no connection.
Share a complete brief by text or with a map image even over low‑bandwidth links.
Four display themes — night‑vision‑friendly, daylight high‑visibility, full color, and colorblind‑safe. Readable in the cockpit, the field, and full sun.

The right tool, honestly built

Pathfinder LZ presents information. It does not make the call. It never scores, rates, or approves a landing zone. The pilot in command and qualified decision‑makers retain full authority. What Pathfinder LZ does is make sure the information behind that decision is complete, consistent, and correct.

That discipline is the point. In safety‑critical work, a tool that pretends to decide for you is a liability. A tool that gives you a clear, standardized picture and gets out of the way is an asset.
