actually happened.

Replace guesswork with exact cockpit audio. Review radio calls, sharpen communication, and turn every sortie into a learning tool.

FOR SAFETY

A clear record
when it matters.

FROM THE FOUNDER
“I wanted a recorder pilots could carry, use anywhere, and trust completely.”

Robin Wipprecht, pilot and engineer, created Alpha 1 after years of flying and seeing the same gap: cockpit audio should be simple to capture, useful for training, and available in any aircraft. Built from real flying — by a pilot, for pilots.

04 / BEFORE YOU FLY

Questions,
answered.

We’ll keep expanding this list as the campaign gets closer to launch.

No. Alpha 1 is fully portable and designed to plug into your headset audio path. An optional 3.5mm pigtail is available for a dedicated panel connection.
