Racetrack

This app collects no data about you and makes no network connections of its own.

What this app stores

Starting with version 2.1, the app keeps three small values, on your device only. One is your best streak in the Entry Trainer: the longest run of entries you have answered correctly in a row, kept so the trainer can show it again the next time you open the app. The other two are the app version and the date of the last time the app asked whether you would like to rate it, kept so that it asks at most once per version and never twice within 120 days. That is the entire contents.

Nothing else about your progress is saved. Lesson position, quiz scores, the holds you have worked and which entries you got right live in memory while the app is open, and start fresh the next time you launch it. The app has no account, no identifier, and no file it writes.

Earlier versions kept two different values for the rating request: a count of correct entries, and a note that the request had been made. Version 2.1 deletes both the first time it opens.

There is no control inside the app for clearing the three values. Deleting the app removes them.

What this app does not do

• No account, sign-in, or email address
• No analytics, tracking, or advertising
• No third-party SDKs of any kind
• No network requests of its own. Every lesson, diagram, hold and quiz question is inside the app, and it works fully in airplane mode. Only the App Store pages on the More screen need a connection, and those are Apple's.
• No location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos or health access. The app has no permission prompt at all, and it does not read your GPS position.
• No purchases or subscriptions

Links out of the app

The Lessons menu has three items. Support and Privacy Policy open this page in your browser. More from AutoPilot opens a screen inside the app that lists the other AutoPilot apps, repeats the Privacy Policy and Support links, and links to flywithautopilot.com in your browser.

Tapping one of the other apps opens its App Store page inside Racetrack, or in the App Store app if the page cannot load there. That page is Apple's: the App Store loads it, and Racetrack is not told what you do there. At the end of a quiz, Share Racetrack opens the iOS share sheet with a link to this app's App Store listing, and you choose where it goes, if anywhere.

These App Store links can carry a campaign label, more-racetrack or share-racetrack, which lets App Store Connect count downloads by the kind of link they came from. The label names the link, never you, and nothing about you travels with it.

The rating request is handled by iOS itself, in Apple's own dialog: the app asks the system to show it and receives no answer back, so it never learns whether you rated it or what you said. It asks only after a success (five correct entries in a row, or a quiz score of 80 percent or better), and iOS decides whether to show the dialog at all.

Support

Questions, bugs, or an entry you think the app has wrong: admin@flywithautopilot.com. Say which screen it was and which hold: the fix, the inbound course, the turn direction and your heading. Include your device and iOS version too.

Racetrack teaches holding pattern entries: reading a hold out of a clearance or off a chart, picking direct, parallel or teardrop, and flying the wind correction. Use it to learn the method, not as the authority. The entry procedures it teaches are the ones the AIM recommends rather than regulation, the sector boundaries it draws are a teaching aid rather than a tolerance, and the hold you are actually cleared into is the one ATC gave you or the one printed on the chart. Fly the clearance you have.
