Strengthening Situational Awareness for Drone Operators and Aviation Pilots For all pilots, whether flying crewed or uncrewed aircraft, situational awareness is everything. Knowing who else is in the air, and where they are is not a “nice to have”; it is a prerequisite for safe operations. One year ago, SkeyDrone and SafeSky announced a strategic partnership enabling bidirectional data exchange between both platforms. The collaboration marked an important step towards improving airspace awareness and safety, as the skies become increasingly shared between crewed and uncrewed aircraft. One Integration, Two Outcomes: Safer Drone Flights and Stronger Site Protection Through this integration, SkeyDrone’s Traffic Information Service has been enriched with real-time traffic data from the SafeSky platform, including helicopters, gliders, paramotors, paragliders, trikes, and other aircraft. This directly improves situational awareness for drone operators, particularly when conducting missions beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and especially in airspace where drones and crewed aircraft operate in close proximity. In parallel, through the SafeSky API, SkeyDrone’s drone detection solution now also displays drone flights in locations that fall outside the reach of the existing sensor network, including operations across the Dutch and Luxembourg borders. Over the past year alone, this integration has resulted in more than 3,250 additional drone flights being displayed in the SkeyDrone platform, flights that would otherwise have remained unseen . This expanded coverage is advantageous not only for drone operators flying BVLOS, but also for geozone and security managers utilising SkeyDrone to safeguard their sites from unauthorised drone activity. The SafeSky integration marks significant progress toward achieving comprehensive nationwide drone detection capability in Belgium. SkeyDrone’s Traffic Information Service enriched with data from SafeSky "Through this partnership, we support BVLOS drone operators dependent on our Traffic Information Service, while also empowering geozone and security managers who use SkeyDrone to protect critical sites from unauthorised drone activity. The integration with SafeSky represents a major step towards a complete, nationwide aerial picture in Belgium." Kristof Gilleman, Head of Operations at SkeyDrone Closing an Important Gap: What’s in It for Pilots? Traditional aviation surveillance systems, such as ADS-B, Mode S, FLARM, were never designed with widespread drone integration in mind. While many professional drone operations today are fully authorised and compliant, yet from a cockpit perspective they may remain non-cooperative . They do not broadcast their position via standard aviation protocols , making them invisible to conventional traffic awareness tools. For VFR pilots operating below controlled airspace, where helicopters, training aircraft, gliders, microlights, and drones increasingly share the same airspace volume, this creates uncertainty . And uncertainty, in aviation, is always a risk factor . By integrating drone detection outputs from SkeyDrone with the SafeSky APIs, SafeSky can provide live telemetry-based awareness of certain non-cooperative drone operations that would otherwise not appear on traditional aviation displays. And this is not about replacing “see and avoid”: It is about enhancing awareness in an environment where visual acquisition alone is no longer sufficient. The future of aviation depends on crewed and uncrewed aircraft sharing the sky safely. This partnership with SkeyDrone demonstrates how interoperability can turn that vision into practical awareness for everyday pilots. Tristan Fily, CEO at SafeSky SafeSky displaying drones traffic from SkeyDrone integration Looking Ahead — A Shared Vision for Connected Airspace Airspace is evolving. The lower altitudes are becoming more dynamic, more diverse, and more operationally demanding. What used to be a largely homogeneous traffic environment is now a mixed ecosystem of recreational pilots, professional drone operators, emergency services, aerial work missions, and new mobility concepts. In this context, safety increasingly depends on interoperability. The first year of operational data exchange between SkeyDrone and SafeSky demonstrates that bidirectional interoperability is not only technically feasible: it is operationally valuable . It enables visibility where it was previously limited. It reduces uncertainty where blind spots existed. And it lays the groundwork for a more unified airspace picture. Belgium may be geographically small, but collaborations like this show how local innovation can have international relevance . By connecting ecosystems rather than competing in isolation, SkeyDrone and SafeSky are contributing to a broader shift in aviation: from fragmented visibility to shared awareness. Both companies remain committed to expanding this cooperation, embracing cooperative and non-cooperative drone visibility , strengthening interoperability, and working with partners across the aviation and UAS community.

This post is inspired by a recent article published by Aviation & Pilote (in French), which we warmly thank for allowing us to share and reference their work. The original article provides a detailed look at Starlink’s arrival in light aviation . What follows is our pilot-focused interpretation, with a particular emphasis on safety and situational awareness. Connectivity: from “nice to have” to a real safety enabler Internet connectivity in general aviation has long been viewed primarily as a comfort feature. The Aviation & Pilote article illustrates how this is evolving with low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite systems, and in particular with Starlink, which are bringing a new level of consistency and reach to in-flight data links. What matters is not connectivity for its own sake, but what it enables: access to timely operational information and services that support safer decision-making in flight, especially when conditions change. Imagine receiving an updated weather radar picture mid-flight, noticing a convective cell developing along your planned route, while simultaneously seeing increased helicopter traffic around a hospital area What Starlink actually brings to the cockpit The article explains why Starlink is different from previous solutions: a dense constellation of LEO satellites results in higher bandwidth and lower latency, even in light aircraft. In practice, pilots are reporting: Stable data links over long distances Connectivity that is less dependent on ground infrastructure Usable performance at typical GA altitudes This matters because it unlocks continuous access to information , not just sporadic updates before take-off. The safety angle: information when it actually matters From a pilot’s perspective, the real value is not entertainment or messaging: it’s decision-making. With reliable connectivity, pilots can access: Live weather radar and updated METAR/TAF , not frozen snapshots Updated NOTAM s and airspace status during the flight Operational updates when conditions change faster than expected Compatibility with the tools they already use (SkyDemon, Air Navigation Pro, EasyVFR, MeteoBlue, SafeSky...) Electronic visibility and traffic awareness Where this becomes particularly relevant for SafeSky pilots is situational awareness and electronic conspicuity. Connectivity enables: Continuous exchange of traffic data , even beyond direct radio line-of-sight Aggregation of multiple traffic sources , including aircraft not equipped with certified transponders or non-certified electronic conspicuity systems such as FLARM Improved awareness in complex, low-altitude airspace, where traffic mix is highest with a divercity of paramotors, paragliders, ultra-lights, gliders, helicopters etc... Starlink does not replace air-to-air systems, but it complements them by enabling network-based visibility where radio alone reaches its limits (terrain masking, valleys, mixed traffic environments). Installation reality: no longer science fiction Aviation & Pilote also provides a pragmatic look at installation constraints : antenna placement, power consumption, and the trade-offs pilots must consider. The key takeaway is that this is no longer experimental tech reserved for airliners. It’s has become accessible to light aircraft with reasonable compromises. That doesn’t mean every aircraft needs it today. But it does mean that the connected cockpit is no longer a theoretical concept and is growing in the pilot community A broader shift in aviation culture What this article really illustrates is a deeper trend: pilots are increasingly operating in a world where connectivity, information sharing, and collective safety matter as much as individual equipment choices. Starlink is not “the solution”. It’s one enabler , one more layer that allows: Better traffic awareness Better information flow Better coordination between airspace users Another key point raised in the article is affordability . What’s notable is that this level of connectivity is no longer reserved for commercial aviation or special missions. It is becoming accessible to general aviation pilots who value safety and situational awareness. Final thoughts We encourage pilots to read the original Aviation & Pilote article for the full technical and experiential detail. From our perspective, it confirms something we see every day at SafeSky: As airspace becomes more mixed and dynamic, the combination of electronic visibility, real-time traffic awareness, and reliable connectivity is not about flying differently: it’s about flying with better awareness Fly Safe everyone The SafeSky Team Read more: Aviation & Pilote website: https://www.aviation-pilote.com Starlink article: https://www.aviation-pilote.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Starlink-Aviation-et-Pilote.pdf

The current season is often a little quieter for flying. Shorter days, more wind, more IMC, and a lot more time spent planning than actually taking off. But that is exactly why it is the perfect moment to prepare for the better flying days to come. One of the easiest and most important things you can do today is to set up a feature that is still not widely known: SafeSky Search and Rescue , also called SAR: " It is a free emergency beacon inside the SafeSky app, designed for general aviation, helicopter, gliders, paramotor, paraglider and microlight pilots." What you need to know SafeSky Search and Rescue feature is free It adds a safety beacon inside the app, always with you It is designed to complement , not replace, other safety equipment and procedures In an emergency, it helps rescue services locate you faster through live tracking Only SAR services will have access to the tracking data of lost aircraft   1 - The problem: finding a missing aircraft can take hours Search and Rescue services in Europe are extremely professional, coordinated, and experienced. But they have one constraint: They cannot rescue what they cannot locate. In Europe, retrieving a missing aircraft often takes several hours . The average can be around four hours , and sometimes much more, depending on terrain, weather, and how quickly reliable information becomes available. National authorities and rescue services regularly contact SafeSky when they need help reconstructing the last known flight path of an aircraft. That is because location and timing are often the biggest missing pieces, especially when tracking disappears and nobody knows where to start looking. Why localisation is difficult, even with the transponder on? Many pilots assume that if an aircraft is ADS-B or Mode-S equipped and the transponder is on, it will always be trackable. Unfortunately, that is not always true . Most surveillance systems, whether radar or ADS-B receivers, depend on line of sight . When you fly low, especially below a certain altitude, your signal may simply no longer reach the ground stations or radar sites that are tracking you. And in mountainous terrain , this challenge becomes even bigger: • valleys can fall outside radar coverage • terrain can block ADS-B reception • even a small ridge can be enough to hide the aircraft from ground receivers The result is that even when you are still transmitting perfectly, the track seen by others can suddenly stop. Rescue teams may then be left with a last known position that is already several minutes, or several kilometres, out of date. How Search and Rescue normally gets triggered? In most cases, Search and Rescue does not begin the moment something goes wrong. It begins when someone such as ATC, a friend, a flying club, or a rescue coordination centre realises that an aircraft may be in trouble and starts the alerting chain . That can happen in several ways: • a flight plan is not closed and the aircraft never arrives • ATC loses contact or receives a distress call • someone reports the aircraft missing • an emergency beacon signal is detected From there, the response follows a structured escalation: • Uncertainty phase , INCERFA • Alert phase , ALERFA • Distress phase , DETRESFA These phases exist for good reasons. They prevent false alarms from consuming limited rescue resources, and they ensure a coordinated response. But they also mean that a search can only become truly effective once there is enough information about where to look , and what the last known position really was. 2 - Existing safety tools and their limits under stress Aviation already has excellent safety systems, and we should always encourage pilots to use them. These tools save lives every day and remain the foundation of emergency alerting. But emergencies are not training exercises. When workload suddenly explodes, when you are low, distracted, or fighting to keep the aircraft under control, even the simplest actions can become difficult. That is where the limits are not technical. They are human. Transponder emergency squawk In an emergency, the standard transponder code is 7700 . The code 7600 is for radio failure and 7500 is for unlawful interference. In theory, setting 7700 is straightforward. In practice, during a real emergency, remembering the code and dialling it in may not be as easy as we would like to believe. There is also a practical limitation. This only helps if the aircraft is equipped with a transponder, which is far from being the case across all categories of aviation (less than 10% of general aviation is equipped with ADS-B Out. Other categories have... nothing standard?). ELTs and Personal Locator Beacons Satellite distress beacons, such as 406 MHz ELTs and PLBs , are a proven and highly recommended tool. They alert rescue coordination centres through the Cospas Sarsat satellite system , and many models include GNSS location plus a 121.5 MHz homing signal to help rescuers pinpoint your position once they are nearby. But here again, the limitations are real. Beacons depend on being triggered , surviving impact, remaining accessible, and being activated correctly. And this is where the reality is simple: In a real emergency, human factors matter. Stress affects memory, motor control, and decision making, even for experienced pilots. That is exactly why SafeSky Search and Rescue exists. It does not replace proven safety tools. It adds another safety layer using equipment you already carry, and it may still help when stress or circumstances prevent you from doing everything by the book. 3 - Introducing SafeSky Search and Rescue SafeSky Search and Rescue is a free emergency beacon built directly into the SafeSky app. Is designed to be simple to use , even in a high stress situation. Once configured in the app, it stays ready in the background and requires no action before flight. In an emergency, a dedicated MAYDAY button becomes available in the app. Pressing it triggers the Search and Rescue workflow, alerting your trusted contacts and sharing your position and live tracking information so they can quickly relay it to the appropriate rescue services. Its purpose is simple. Reduce the time it takes for rescuers to get the information that matters most , especially in the first critical minutes. ... and it works with the hardware you already carry on every flight: your phone or tablet . The most important part: what if you cannot press MAYDAY button? In an ideal world, you press the MAYDAY button the moment you realise the situation is escalating. But emergencies are rarely ideal. That is why SafeSky Search and Rescue is designed with a crucial unique safety principle: passive SAR tracking : Even if you are under stress and cannot press the MAYDAY button, your phone will continue to transmit your position as long as it is working. This is not theoretical. It is exactly the kind of situation described in our Iceland incident story , where continuity of tracking made a difference. What if the phone stops working? SafeSky will continue to transmit your position for as long as your phone remains operational. But in a serious crash scenario, the phone may be damaged or destroyed. Even then, the system still provides critical value. The last recorded traces remain available for rescue services for 72 hours . This ensures the search does not start from zero. Rescue teams can still work from the most valuable clue: your last known position and your recent track , which often takes hours to reconstruct through other means. Why SafeSky uses trusted contacts? One of the challenges with emergency alerting is avoiding false alarms . To keep the system fast and responsible , SafeSky Search and Rescue uses a trusted relay path . Instead of contacting rescue services directly, it ensures that a real person confirms  the situation and relays the correct information. You can choose up to three trusted contacts  (pilot friend, your instructor, spouse, other?). Working with Search and Rescue operations This Search and Rescue capabilities is implemented in close collaboration with national authorities and SAR organisations. In November 2025, SafeSky participated in the "EUR Search and Rescue Task Force" in Paris to discuss solutions and integration improvements with operational procedures. 4 - How to set it up (takes 2 minutes) Setting up SafeSky Search and Rescue is quick, and it is best done now , while you are relaxed, on the ground, and not under pressure. To enable it: Open SafeSky Go to Settings, then Search and Rescue Read and accept the procedure Add up to three trusted contacts , phone number and email Now comes the most important step: brief your contacts in advance : SafeSky SAR is designed so that your trusted contacts relay the alert to the correct rescue services. So they should know what to do if they receive your message: • call the SAR service using the precise phone number provided • forward the email address if needed • share the live tracking link showing your position Two minutes of setup today can save precious time later. 5 - How it works in practice? Once SAR is enabled in your settings, it stays ready in the background. You do not need to do anything special before each flight. SafeSky simply makes the emergency workflow available when you are airborne. 5. 1 - In flight After take off, the MAYDAY icon becomes available in the SafeSky app. If you ever need to trigger an emergency alert: Tap the MAYDAY button Confirm with a slide gesture to prevent accidental activation SafeSky activates the SAR workflow 5.2 - Your contacts receive an alert immediately SafeSky sends the alert to your trusted contacts by SMS and email, including: • your precise position • a direct link to your live location • the correct SAR phone number and email address for the area you are flying 5.3 - Your contacts do the relay Your contacts do not have to search who to call. SafeSky provides the correct SAR contact details for your position. Your trusted contacts then call the rescue services using the phone number provided and forward the live tracking link. If needed, they also forward the email details so SAR can access everything immediately. 5.4 - Tracking continues Once SAR is active, SafeSky continues to transmit and record your position as long as your phone is working. This helps keep the last known position accurate, even in difficult terrain or limited coverage. 5.5 - What if there is no internet connection? If SafeSky cannot immediately send the alert due to lack of connectivity, the app continues recording your track. As soon as internet becomes available again, it will publish the last known trace and resume live updates. 6 - Two minutes now, ready for the day you hope never comes As pilots, we are taught to always stay ahead of the aircraft . We brief, plan, anticipate, and prepare, because in aviation the time to think is before things start happening fast. Most of us will never need Search and Rescue, and we truly hope you never do. But if a flight ever turns into a serious situation, one thing becomes essential very quickly: being found fast. So while the season is quieter, take two minutes today . Set up SAR in SafeSky, add your trusted contacts, and brief them so they know how to relay an alert immediately. Related stories and references: Unfortunately, this is when drama happens.
