SafeSky 4.0 is here. A better flying experience ahead!
Brussels, 9 November 2026
Over the past six years, you've told us what you love about SafeSky and what could be better. Weak connectivity, battery drain, overheating phones and the challenge of seeing all the different types of traffic around you.
We've listened.
With SafeSky 4.0, we've rebuilt the entire application
around your flying experience
A more dependable flying companion
Your traffic picture should be there when you need it. SafeSky 4.0 brings a major improvement in connection reliability, even with very weak or unstable mobile internet. It also dramatically reduces battery consumption and phone heating, giving you a smoother, more dependable experience throughout your flight.
Mobile connectivity works where it matters most. Our flight statistics and pilot feedback confirm an average of over 80% connectivity up to 5,000 feet AGL, where traffic is often busiest, near airfields, popular flying destinations and other shared airspace. And depending on where you fly, such as in the French Alps, reliable connectivity extends all the way up to 12,000 feet
SafeSky 4 is more than 30 traffic sources
Not every aircraft speaks the same electronic language. (ADS-B, FLARM, Mode-S, ADS-L, FANET and PilotAware), all use different technologies that don't necessarily communicate with one another. And many recreational pilots fly without any electronic conspicuity equipment at all.
That's where
the SafeSky Network
makes the difference
Beyond traditional radio-based surveillance, SafeSky 4 natively integrates with more than 30 third-party applications and traffic sources, including Gaggle, Air Navigation Pro, EasyVFR, XCTrack and many others, bringing together aircraft that would otherwise remain invisible to one another.
By combining these traffic sources with data from over 16,000 ground stations, and a growing ecosystem of connected aviation platforms, SafeSky 4 gives you one of the most comprehensive multi-source traffic pictures available to pilots today.
Get traffic from your favourite navigation app
SafeSky integrates seamlessly with more than 20 navigation applications, including SkyDemon, Air Navigation Pro, EasyVFR, ForeFlight and many others.
Enjoy the freedom of keeping everything on one screen, with SafeSky's comprehensive traffic picture displayed directly on your favourite moving map. No need to switch between applications, just your familiar navigation environment, enhanced with greater traffic awareness.
Get even more from your existing traffic equipment
Already flying with an Aero-Tracker, SkyEcho2, PowerFLARM or PilotAware?
Great! SafeSky 4 is the perfect companion to your existing equipment, extending your traffic awareness well beyond what traditional radio-based receivers can detect.
Your existing device detects aircraft broadcasting through the technologies it supports, such as ADS-B, FLARM or other electronic conspicuity signals.
But what about aircraft that don't carry any of these devices?
That's where
SafeSky
makes the difference again!
By combining SafeSky with your existing equipment, you gain access to additional traffic that traditional receivers alone might not detect, giving you a more comprehensive picture of the sky around you.
And now, professional drones are joining the picture.
Professional drones are increasingly sharing the same low-altitude airspace as recreational aviation.
Thanks to partnerships with DJI, FlytBase, RigiTech, DroneSense and others, participating professional drones can now appear in your SafeSky traffic picture.
And it works both ways: you can see their drones, and their operators can see you, helping everyone share the sky more safely.
Professional aviation is joining the SafeSky Network as well
With more than 120,000 registered pilots, we sincerely thank you for your trust. Every pilot sharing their position helps make the sky more visible and safer for everyone.
Today, professional aviation is joining the movement too.
Leading search and rescue organisations, including ADAC Luftrettung helicopters in Germany, Rega in Switzerland, Sécurité civile in France and Sjöfartsverket in Sweden, among many others, are embracing the SafeSky Network to enhance their situational awareness.
In addition, Air navigation service providers, including Fintraffic in Finland and Oro Navigacija in Lithuania, are also recognising the value of SafeSky's unique visibility into low-altitude aviation.
Why? Because SafeSky provides valuable traffic information that traditional surveillance systems may miss, complementing existing equipment and helping professionals operate with greater awareness.
And as a pilot, you're at the heart of it. As more professional aviation operators join the SafeSky Network and share their positions, you benefit from an increasingly comprehensive traffic picture, making every flight more informed and safer.
SafeSky 4: you personal emergency beacon
When an emergency strikes in flight,
every second counts.
And SafeSky can help
SafeSky works closely with search and rescue organisations across Europe to help locate pilots faster. Available in the free version of SafeSky 4, our Search and Rescue feature has been improved and lets you declare an emergency situation and automatically alert your emergency contacts with your live position.
We're also developing dedicated tools to help rescue teams access valuable flight information and locate you more quickly when it matters most.
So as a pilot, SafeSky 4 represents an additional layer of safety, complementing your existing emergency equipment, not replacing a certified ELT or PLB.
SafeSky 4 is only getting started!
What's next? We're working with satellite connectivity providers to help you stay connected even beyond the reach of terrestrial mobile networks.
By also supporting ADS-L and preparing for ADS-L 4 MOBILE, SafeSky is embracing EASA's multi-link vision of electronic conspicuity, helping you see and be seen across an increasingly connected aviation ecosystem.
And as more drone operators, avionics manufacturers and aviation partners join the SafeSky Network, you'll benefit from an increasingly complete picture of the traffic around you.
Our ambition? To give every pilot the clearest possible view of the sky, whatever you fly, wherever you fly, and whichever technology you use.
Thank you for being part of this journey and helping make the sky safer for everyone.
SafeSky 4 is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Update your app, invite your fellow pilots, and enjoy your next flight.
See more. Be seen. Fly safe.
