## Flight Planning Assistant

First and foremost, FieldAgent Mobile iOS is an assistant. 

* The app helps you find locations that it knows about or that you direct it to.
* It helps you set a flight area and parameters like altitude, speed, and overlap.
* The app provides tools to let you make decisions about how to fly.

The app makes no decisions about what is or is not safe to fly.
