A free, dedicated application giving drone crews in the field real-time awareness of surrounding low-altitude traffic, and helping make their operations visible to the wider aviation community through the SafeSky Network. SafeSky Sentinel with crewed traffic proximity alerts For every drone operator, one question remains fundamental throughout an operation: what else is flying around us? This becomes particularly important at low altitude, where drone operations share airspace with helicopters, light aircraft, ultralights, gliders, paramotors, balloons and, increasingly, other drones. Maintaining awareness of this surrounding traffic is an essential part of safe drone operations. Whether flying VLOS or BVLOS, operators need a practical way to monitor relevant air traffic, identify a potential conflict early, and give the remote pilot enough time to apply the appropriate procedure. With SafeSky Sentinel, drone operators now have a dedicated tool for exactly that purpose. Bringing the SafeSky traffic picture into the field SafeSky Sentinel is a free app designed specifically to give drone crews direct access to the traffic-awareness capabilities of the SafeSky Network during their operations. The SafeSky Network brings together real-time traffic information from more than 30 different sources, creating a comprehensive picture of cooperative air traffic with a particular strength in the low-altitude environment where drones operate. (More information here: https://www.safesky.app/3rdparty) This matters because the traffic of greatest relevance to a drone operation is not necessarily limited to commercial aviation or aircraft visible through conventional surveillance infrastructure. For example, a helicopter conducting a low-level mission, an ultralight crossing the area, a glider descending nearby, a paramotor, a general aviation aircraft, balloon or another cooperative drone can all become relevant traffic. SafeSky brings these different sources together into one shared traffic picture. Drone operators have already been using the Web SafeSky Live interface to monitor this traffic. Making drones visible Some professional platforms—including DJI FlightHub 2, RigiTech, FlytBase, DroneSense and Dronetag, and more to come, already provide direct access to SafeSky traffic information within their control centres. A seamless direct integration is also possible via the SafeSky professional UAV API. Until now, however, many drone pilots did not have access to this capability. SafeSky Sentinel takes the concept further by putting a dedicated operational traffic-monitoring application directly into the hands of the drone crew in the field. Drone traffic made visible in SafeSky Live A dedicated traffic monitor for the drone crew During drone operations, responsibilities are often distributed across the crew. While the remote pilot concentrates on controlling the aircraft and conducting the mission, another crew member is responsible for monitoring the surrounding airspace and alerting the pilot when relevant traffic approaches. SafeSky Sentinel is designed around this operational reality. The person responsible for traffic monitoring can maintain a live radar-style view of surrounding cooperative traffic directly on a mobile device. Operators can define traffic thresholds based on parameters such as horizontal distance and relative altitude, with different levels for information, warning and danger. SafeSky Sentinel continuously monitors the surrounding traffic picture against these thresholds. When an aircraft becomes relevant to the operation, visual and audible alerts draw the crew’s attention to the developing situation. The result is more than a traffic map. It provides a proactive traffic-awareness capability, helping the crew identify relevant traffic early and giving the remote pilot more time to respond according to the operation’s procedures. User-defined alert thresholds See, and be seen Traffic awareness should not work in only one direction. While SafeSky Sentinel enables the drone crew to see participating traffic around the operation, the drone operator can also share the area of operation with the SafeSky Network. This creates the foundation for a collaborative See and Be Seen environment. The drone crew gains awareness of relevant participating air traffic around its operation. In return, the drone operation becomes part of the shared SafeSky Network traffic picture. Participating pilots and compatible systems connected to the SafeSky Network can therefore become aware of the drone activity and receive relevant traffic information and alerts directly in the cockpit. This two-way exchange is particularly important as crewed and uncrewed aviation increasingly share the same low-altitude airspace. Rather than each community operating with a separate picture of the sky, SafeSky provides a means for both to contribute to—and benefit from—a common traffic-awareness network. A drone alert from the SafeSky App to an ultralight pilot Supporting more demanding operations and SORA safety cases For operators seeking authorisation for more complex missions, particularly BVLOS operations, demonstrating how air risk is identified and mitigated can be an important part of the operational safety case. Under frameworks such as SORA, operators need to document the airspace environment, evaluate the risk of encountering crewed aircraft and describe the strategic and tactical mitigations used to manage that risk. Access to relevant traffic information, combined with clearly defined monitoring, alerting and response procedures, can contribute to this broader safety strategy where appropriate to the operation and accepted by the competent authority. SafeSky Sentinel gives operators a practical capability that can be incorporated into their Concept of Operations (ConOps), operating procedures and documented air-risk mitigation strategy. This can help operators demonstrate how they maintain traffic awareness during an operation and may help address operational constraints that would otherwise make more demanding missions difficult to authorise. Sentinel does not replace a SORA assessment, provide separation from other aircraft or guarantee an operational authorisation. Instead, it provides an additional traffic-awareness capability that operators can integrate into a wider, documented safety framework. SafeSky SORA ARC Assessment Report A shared traffic picture for low-altitude aviation By giving drone crews direct access to the SafeSky Network while allowing them to contribute their own operation to the shared traffic picture, Sentinel represents a significant step towards more collaborative low-altitude airspace. Combined with SafeSky’s growing integrations across professional drone platforms, Sentinel makes this shared traffic picture accessible from the control centre all the way to the crew in the field. The principle is deliberately simple: See the traffic around your drone operation. Make your operation visible to others. SafeSky Sentinel is available free of charge for iOS and Android.

Whether you are acting as an AFIS agent at an airfield, or organising a fly-in, following a group of aircraft during a rally, or simply want to display local traffic in your clubhouse, having a clear picture of what is happening around you can make a real difference. If you already use Flightradar24 or other traffic maps, you’ll love SafeSky Live — with a unique view of the low-altitude traffic that matters to your flying. This is exactly what the new SafeSky Live is designed for. And it's free and without any advertising. SafeSky Live gives you a real-time view of the air traffic that matters to you, directly from a web browser. No installation is required: use it on a PC, tablet or smart TV. SafeSky Live setup for an AFIS operator What you need to know See the traffic that matters to you, around an airfield, event, or any area you choose. Benefit from the extensive coverage of the SafeSky Network, bringing many types of crewed and uncrewed traffic into one view. Customize your view by area, altitude, aircraft, groups, colours, and more. Use it anywhere on a PC, tablet, or smart TV — free and without advertising. Acting at an AFIS agent at an Airfield? An aircraft is approaching but has not yet made its first radio call. With SafeSky Live, you can already see it approaching. You can see its callsign when available, altitude, track and direction of flight, and understand how it relates to the other traffic around the airfield. You can define the zones that matter to your operation: for example an approaching sector, the immediate airfield environment or another area requiring particular attention. When an aircraft enters one of those zones, SafeSky Live can alert you. Instead of trying to interpret a map containing every aircraft in the region, you decide exactly what should be displayed. The result is a simple, dedicated traffic picture configured around your airfield and the way you operate. SafeSky Live does not replace radio communication or established airfield procedures. It provides an additional source of situational awareness, helping you build a clearer picture of approaching, departing and passing traffic. Organising a Fly-In, Competition or Aviation Event? A busy aviation event creates a very different challenge. You may have dozens of participating aircraft arriving from different directions, local traffic continuing to operate, and other aircraft simply passing nearby. SafeSky Live allows organisers to create a traffic view specifically for their event. Participating aircraft can, for example, be assigned a dedicated colour so that they are immediately recognisable among surrounding traffic. You can define the geographical area relevant to the event, decide which altitude range to display, follow aircraft tracks and create zones corresponding to the areas you particularly want to monitor. This makes SafeSky Live useful for fly-ins, competitions, rallies, open days and other aviation events where having a simple overview of the surrounding traffic can help the organising team maintain situational awareness during busy periods. Following a Rally or Flying Trip? SafeSky Live isn’t limited to airfield operations. Perhaps your club is organising a flying trip involving ten aircraft. Or you are running a rally with participants spread across several hundred kilometres. Create a group containing the participating aircraft, assign them their own colour and create a SafeSky Live view dedicated to the trip. The same view can then be shared with the people following the event. Friends, families or club members staying at home can open the link and follow the participating aircraft as the trip progresses. Or Simply Put It on the Club TV Sometimes the use case is much simpler. What’s flying around us right now? SafeSky Live can be displayed on a smart TV in the clubhouse or club bar, providing pilots, members and visitors with a live picture of aviation activity around the airfield. Configure the view once, create the TV link, and leave it running. Your Traffic Picture, Your Way Every airfield and every event is different. That is why SafeSky Live is designed around customization rather than imposing one standard traffic display. You decide: Where: define the area and altitude you want to monitor. What: choose which traffic and aircraft you want to see. How: organise aircraft into groups, colours and dedicated views. Alerts: create your own zones and decide when you want to be alerted. You only need to configure these choices once. Your configuration can then be reused and shared. Ready to see what’s happening around you?

A bi-directional integration connecting autonomous drone operations with the broader aviation ecosystem through shared airspace awareness. FlytBase interface with live traffic from the SafeSky Network SafeSky and FlytBase are proud to announce a strategic partnership that combines FlytBase's Drone-First Physical AI platform for large sites with SafeSky’s cooperative airspace SafeSky’s cooperative airspace awareness network. The integration enables FlytBase customers to benefit from SafeSky’s real-time aviation traffic intelligence while making participating drone operations visible to nearby crewed aircraft through the SafeSky ecosystem. Together, the two companies are helping operators build safer, more scalable and regulation-ready BVLOS operations by improving situational awareness for everyone sharing the airspace. Why this partnership matters Enterprise drone operations are rapidly evolving from individual flights to fully autonomous, remotely managed fleets. Across industries including utilities, energy, construction, mining, public safety and critical infrastructure, organisations are increasingly deploying drones to perform routine inspections, monitoring missions and emergency response with minimal human intervention. FlytBase has established itself as one of the world’s leading enterprise drone autonomy platforms powering 400+ deployments in 70+ countries. They enable organisations to automate drone docks, remotely supervise fleets and scale BVLOS operations across multiple sites. As these operations become more widespread, integrating drones safely into shared airspace becomes one of the industry’s greatest challenges. This partnership brings together two complementary technologies to help address that challenge. Connecting the drone ecosystem with the aviation ecosystem The FlytBase–SafeSky integration creates shared situational awareness across the entire airspace, connecting drone operators, crewed aviation and multiple drone ecosystems through a single collaborative network. FlytBase operators gain access to SafeSky’s live cooperative air traffic information, providing visibility of nearby general aviation aircraft, helicopters, gliders, ultralights, paragliders, paramotors, trikes and other connected drones. This gives remote pilots and operation managers greater awareness of surrounding air traffic before and throughout BVLOS missions. At the same time, participating drone operations managed through FlytBase can be shared through the SafeSky ecosystem, making them visible to nearby crewed aircraft. This traffic information is available not only within the SafeSky application, but also through more than 15+ compatible Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) and cockpit navigation solutions already used by pilots across Europe. As a result, both drone operators and pilots benefit from improved mutual awareness in shared airspace. The partnership also extends beyond crewed aviation. By joining the SafeSky Network, participating FlytBase operations become part of a broader connected drone ecosystem spanning multiple fleet management solutions. This enables greater awareness and coordination between operators using different technologies, helping to break down silos and build a truly interoperable digital airspace. “This partnership is another step towards an open and connected airspace where drones and crewed aircraft can safely operate together.” said Tristan Fily, Founder & CEO at SafeSky Traffic alert in the cockpit of a general aviation aircraft Supporting safer BVLOS operations Routine BVLOS operations depend on more than autonomous flight capabilities: they require a comprehensive understanding of the surrounding airspace and robust operational risk management. Within the SORA framework, enhanced awareness of cooperative traffic can contribute to an operator’s overall Air Risk Mitigation strategy by improving situational awareness before and during flight. Equally important, making participating drone operations visible to nearby crewed aircraft introduces an additional layer of transparency that benefits all airspace users. While cooperative surveillance is not a substitute for Detect-and-Avoid technologies or other regulatory requirements, integrating real-time airspace intelligence into autonomous operations helps strengthen an operator’s safety case, supports more informed operational decision-making, and contributes to the safe execution of advanced BVLOS missions. By enabling information to flow in both directions between drones and crewed aviation, the FlytBase and SafeSky partnership helps lay the foundations for the connected digital airspace that future autonomous operations will depend upon. Building the future of connected aviation The future of aviation will not be built by isolated technologies, but by connected ecosystems. FlytBase is enabling organisations around the world to deploy autonomous drone operations at scale. SafeSky is connecting tens of thousands of pilots and aircraft through one of Europe’s largest cooperative airspace awareness networks. Together, the two companies are bridging the gap between autonomous drones and crewed aviation, creating a shared operational picture that improves safety, supports regulatory compliance and helps accelerate the adoption of routine BVLOS operations. This partnership marks another important step towards a future where drones and crewed aircraft can safely operate together in a connected, intelligent and collaborative airspace. “Scaling BVLOS drone operations demands a connected ecosystem where airspace intelligence, hardware, and fleet management work seamlessly together. Our partnership with SafeSky reflects that vision, and is a natural extension of what FlytBase Flinks are built to enable.” said Nitin Gupta, Founder & CEO at FlytBase Want to read more?

SafeSky traffic directly available into the DroneflyKart map layer SafeSky is pleased to announce its collaboration with Droneflykart, a leading drone planning platforms, further expanding the SafeSky network and strengthening the visibility of drone operations within the aviation ecosystem. The partnership enables drone operations published through Droneflykart to be shared through the SafeSky network, helping improve situational awareness between unmanned and manned aviation while supporting safer skies for everyone. See https://droneflykart.no Supporting Norway’s Drone Community Developed as a voluntary initiative by members of the drone community, the platform aims to make aviation information more accessible and easier to understand, particularly for recreational pilots and small operators. By bringing together relevant operational, regulatory, and airspace information into a single interface, Droneflykart helps pilots plan their flights with greater confidence and awareness. Beyond flight planning, the platform also provides tools to support operational compliance and risk assessment, contributing to safer and more informed drone operations throughout Norway. Making Drone Operations More Visible As the number of drone operations continues to grow across Europe, improving awareness between all airspace users becomes increasingly important. Through the integration with SafeSky, active drone operations published through Droneflykart can now be shared with the wider aviation ecosystem. This allows participating operators to make their activities visible beyond the drone community itself, helping other airspace users better understand ongoing operations and contributing to a more complete picture of airspace activity. The integration supports SafeSky’s vision of creating a connected environment where relevant airspace information can be shared efficiently between different stakeholders, regardless of the platform they use. Felix Slettevoll, founder of Droneflykart said: “We created Droneflykart to make drone operations easier to understand and safer to conduct. Integrating with SafeSky allows us to extend that vision beyond the drone community and contribute to greater awareness for all airspace users,” Looking Ahead This collaboration represents another step towards a more connected aviation ecosystem where drone operators, pilots, and airspace stakeholders can benefit from shared situational awareness and improved access to relevant operational information. We look forward to working closely with the Droneflykart team and supporting the continued development of safe and responsible drone operations in Norway. Tristan Fily, CEO of SafeSky said: “We are delighted to welcome Droneflykart to the SafeSky network. Their commitment to supporting drone pilots and promoting safe operations aligns perfectly with our mission of improving situational awareness and airspace safety across Europe,” Make sure to visit DoneflyKart at https://droneflykart.no

At SafeSky, we believe that safer skies start with better visibility. For drone operators, one of the biggest challenges remains understanding what is happening around them in real time and ensuring that other airspace users are aware of their presence. As operations become more complex and increasingly move beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), this challenge only becomes more important. This is why we are delighted to announce our partnership with RigiTech, bringing native integration between RigiCloud and the SafeSky Network. Through this integration, drone operators using RigiCloud can now seamlessly connect to the SafeSky Network and benefit from one simple but powerful concept: See and Be Seen. What you need to know SafeSky and RigiTech have integrated the SafeSky Network directly into RigiCloud RigiCloud users can see nearby crewed and uncrewed traffic, including aircraft, helicopters, gliders, ultralights, paragliders, paramotors, and connected drone operations. Live drone position from RigiCloud is also visible to aviation pilots thgouth the SafeSky Network The integration supports advanced BVLOS operations and contributes to SORA air-risk mitigation by improving situational awareness and cooperative visibility. See More of the Airspace Around You Through the SafeSky Network, RigiCloud operators gain access to one of the world’s largest cooperative air traffic awareness ecosystems: This means operators can see not only traditional aviation traffic, but also many categories of low-altitude airspace users that are often difficult to detect through conventional surveillance systems. Depending on local coverage and equipment, this includes general aviation aircraft, helicopters, gliders, ultralights, paragliders, paramotors, and many other airspace participants. Importantly, operators can also gain visibility of drone operations originating from other connected platforms: For example, drones operating through DJI FlightHub 2 and other SafeSky-integrated systems can become visible within the same shared operational picture, helping operators better understand nearby activities and improve situational awareness. For organisations conducting BVLOS operations, infrastructure inspections, logistics missions, or other advanced drone activities, this additional awareness can play a critical role in operational decision-making. Adam Klaptocz, CEO, RigiTech said: “Professional drone operations require both operational control and situational awareness. By integrating RigiCloud with SafeSky, we are giving our customers access to a broader operational picture whilst allowing them to continue using the tools and workflows they already rely on every day.” Be Seen by the Wider Aviation Community Visibility should not be one-way. Through the integration, live telemetry from RigiCloud can be shared into the SafeSky ecosystem, allowing participating drone operations to become visible to other airspace users. Pilots flying with the SafeSky application can receive awareness of nearby drone activity. In addition, SafeSky data is available through a broad ecosystem of 30+ compatible aviation applications and platforms, allowing drone operators to increase the visibility of their operations across a much wider audience. Exemple: A drone is visible though Air Navigation PRO in the cockpit of a general aviation aircraft This creates a powerful network effect: the more operators and platforms connect, the more complete the shared airspace picture becomes. Tristan Fily, CEO, SafeSky said: “The value of this integration is very simple to explain: operators using RigiCloud can now see more of the airspace around them and make their own operations visible to others. As more platforms connect to SafeSky, we move closer to a truly interoperable aviation ecosystem where information flows freely between operators, regardless of the software they use.” A drone alert from the SafeSky App to an ultralight pilot Supporting SORA, SAIL III and Operational Safety For many operators, particularly in Europe, airspace awareness has become an important component of operational risk management. Under the SORA methodology, operators are increasingly expected to demonstrate how air risks are assessed and mitigated during their operations. Whilst every operation remains unique, access to real-time traffic awareness and cooperative visibility tools can support operators in building robust operational procedures and strengthening their overall safety case. This is particularly relevant for operators conducting advanced BVLOS missions. RigiTech’s platform has been developed with SAIL III operations in mind, reflecting the company’s commitment to meeting the demanding safety and risk-management requirements of the European SORA framework. A Step Towards Greater Interoperability This partnership is also part of a broader industry trend. The future of drone operations cannot depend on isolated platforms operating independently from one another. Professional operators need the freedom to work within their preferred software environment whilst still benefiting from a common operational picture. Today, SafeSky already connects multiple operational platforms and ecosystems. By joining the SafeSky network, RigiCloud becomes part of an interoperable environment where operators using different control systems can contribute to and benefit from shared situational awareness. The result is a safer and more connected airspace where information flows across platforms instead of remaining trapped within them. A Shared Vision RigiTech has built RigiCloud to support professional drone operations at scale, including advanced BVLOS and logistics missions that demand sophisticated planning, fleet management, route supervision, and detect-and-avoid capabilities. As the industry moves towards increasingly complex operations, including SAIL III scenarios under the European SORA framework, access to reliable situational awareness becomes an essential component of operational safety. SafeSky’s mission is to make airspace awareness accessible to every airspace user and to enable a shared operational picture across the aviation ecosystem. Together, SafeSky and RigiTech are helping operators not only manage and scale their missions, but also integrate safely into shared airspace. By combining operational control with real-time airspace awareness, we are contributing to the next generation of interoperable BVLOS operations and helping build the foundations for safer, more connected skies Want to read more?

AviSafe live traffic from SafeSky At SafeSky, our mission has always been to improve situational awareness and help build a safer, more connected aviation ecosystem. As drone operations continue to mature and scale around the world, safety is no longer limited to airspace visibility alone. Professional operators are increasingly facing the same challenges as traditional aviation organisations: compliance management, occurrence reporting, risk assessments, audit preparation, and the need to demonstrate a structured safety culture. This is why we are delighted to welcome AviSafe to the SafeSky network. As the Drone Industry Matures, Safety Must Mature Too The drone industry has evolved significantly over the last decade. What began as a largely recreational activity has become a professional sector supporting inspection, surveying, emergency services, infrastructure management, logistics, public safety, and many other critical operations. With this growth comes increased responsibility: operators are expected to comply with increasingly sophisticated regulatory frameworks, maintain documented procedures, manage operational risks, and demonstrate continuous improvement in safety performance. Yet many organisations still rely on spreadsheets, manual documentation, and disconnected systems to manage these requirements. The challenge is no longer simply flying safely. The challenge is building a scalable safety system around flight operations. “The drone industry is reaching a level of maturity where professional operators need the same structured safety foundations that have long existed in traditional aviation. Our mission at AviSafe is to make safety management practical, measurable, and accessible, so that organisations can focus on their operations whilst maintaining the highest standards of safety and compliance.” said Gard Haug-Hansen, CEO, AviSafe Bringing Aviation-Grade Safety to Drone Operations This is precisely the problem AviSafe was created to solve. Drawing on extensive experience in traditional aviation, Safety Management Systems (SMS), compliance oversight, quality assurance, and operational flying, AviSafe brings proven aviation safety principles into the drone sector through practical digital tools designed for real-world operations. The objective is simple: reduce friction, improve accountability, and enable operators to focus on their missions whilst maintaining the highest safety standards. Professional safety should not be viewed as a regulatory burden. When implemented correctly, it becomes an operational advantage. Less time is spent on administration, fewer compliance errors occur, audits become easier to manage, and organisations gain greater confidence in their day-to-day operations. Combining Safety Management with Situational Awareness Whilst structured processes are essential, safety also depends on understanding the operational environment. This is where SafeSky and AviSafe naturally complement one another. AviSafe provides the framework that helps organisations manage risk, document decisions, streamline occurrence reporting, and maintain compliance. SafeSky provides real-time awareness of both manned and unmanned traffic operating in shared airspace. Together, operators gain both the structure and the situational awareness required to make informed decisions in increasingly complex operational environments. AviSafe helps organisations identify and manage risks through documented processes, whilst SafeSky provides real-time visibility of surrounding airspace activity. The result is a more complete safety picture, where operational decisions are supported by both robust procedures and enhanced awareness. “Situational awareness is a critical part of operational safety, but it is only one piece of the puzzle. Professional operators also need robust processes, effective risk management, and a strong safety culture. AviSafe brings exactly that expertise to the industry, which is why we are delighted to welcome them to the SafeSky network.” said Tristan Fily, CEO, SafeSky A Shared Vision By combining structured safety management with real-time airspace awareness, we are helping operators build the foundations required for the next generation of professional drone operations. We are proud to welcome AviSafe to the SafeSky network and look forward to supporting a future where safety management and situational awareness work hand in hand to make aviation safer, more transparent, and more connected for all airspace users.

Friedrichshafen, Germany Thursday 23 April 2026 10:30 AM F.U.N.K.E Avionics and SafeSky today announced a strategic partnership at AERO 2026 to enhance traffic visibility for light aviation and general aviation pilots. By combining the certified F.U.N.K.E TM350 traffic monitor with SafeSky’s connected ecosystem, the solution brings together traditional air-to-air surveillance including ADS-B, ADS-L and FLARM with more than 30 additional traffic data sources, delivering a clearer and more complete traffic picture directly in the cockpit. One Unified View of Airspace The solution provides a unified and coherent view of airspace by combining multiple technologies and data sources into a single traffic picture. It enables visibility across a wide range of airspace users, including general aviation, gliders, paramotors, paragliders, ultralights, helicopters and drones. By merging traditional air to air surveillance with connected traffic data, the system reduces blind spots and fragmentation between technologies that have historically operated independently. This is particularly valuable in low altitude and mixed use environments, where different types of aircraft and operations increasingly share the same airspace. For pilots, this means a clearer understanding of surrounding traffic, improved situational awareness and better decision making throughout all phases of flight. Including Drone Visibility in the Cockpit Through partnerships with leading drone ecosystem players such as DJI, the solution enables real time visibility of drone traffic directly in the cockpit, particularly at low altitude where most operations take place. This represents a major step towards integrating drones into the broader aviation environment and improving safety in shared airspace. Benefits for Pilots Across All Classes This solution delivers traffic awareness benefits to pilots across all types of aircraft and flying activities: A more complete and reliable traffic picture combining multiple technologies Improved awareness of low altitude and cooperative traffic Better anticipation of potential conflicts in dense or mixed airspace Seamless integration into existing cockpit workflows Beyond E-Conspicuity: The Connected Cockpit The solution is ADSL for Mobile ready and designed around a flexible "bring your own internet" approach. Pilots can simply connect the system using their preferred connectivity, whether through phone tethering, onboard LTE equipment or satellite services such as Starlink, Amazon Leo or emerging low Earth orbit constellations. This connectivity agnostic design ensures the system is already compatible with current and future technologies, making it both future proof and immediately operational. This Internet connectivity goes beyond traffic awareness by enabling live flight information services directly on cockpit displays and Electronic Flight Bags such as Air Navigation Pro and EasyVFR. Pilots can access in real time: Live NOTAMs METAR and TAF updates Weather radar with rain wind visualisation F.U.N.K.E and SafeSky fully support the EASA ADSL Coalition vision, promoting a single interoperable language called ADSL across aviation, combined with multiple communication links from traditional air-to-air to LTE and IP connectivity Availability Demonstration is available at the FUNKE booth B1-101 during AERO 2026. Full commercial availability is planned for Autumn 2026. Marco Festa, Director Avionic Product at FUNKE Avionics, said “With the TM350, we deliver a certified aircraft grade traffic awareness system designed for real operational use. With SafeSky integration, we extend this capability to provide a broader and more complete operational picture for pilots.” Tristan Fily, CEO of SafeSky, added “With over 100,000 pilots in our community, SafeSky connects a wide range of airspace users. Together with FUNKE, we bring this visibility directly into the cockpit to improve safety for everyone.” About FUNKE Avionics F.U.N.K.E Avionics GmbH is a leading European manufacturer of certified avionics systems for communication, navigation and surveillance. About SafeSky SafeSky is a European leader in connected airspace awareness, aggregating data from more than 30 traffic sources and serving a community of over 100,000 pilots.

DJI Enterprise Official Announcement A general aviation pilot is on a VFR cross-country, descending through 1,500 feet towards a local aerodrome... Two kilometres ahead, a professional drone operator is conducting a site inspection... Neither can see the other. Today, that changes! Drones and manned aircraft have been sharing the same sky  for years, largely invisible to one another. A paramotor pilot on a ridge flight, a helicopter on a rescue approach, a glider in the circuit: none of them could see the professional drone operating 500 metres away, and the drone operator could not see them either. That is the problem this partnership is solving! SafeSky has spent years building the most comprehensive cooperative traffic network in aviation. With more than 30 traffic sources , this is covering every cooperative aircraft type: commercial, General Aviation, helicopter, glider, ultralight, paramotor, paraglider. With thousands of pilots already connected, it is the richest live traffic picture available  to anyone flying in the lower airspace. Until now, professional drones were largely absent from that picture.   Two worlds, one shared picture Starting today, SafeSky's Traffic Awareness platform is now integrated directly into DJI FlightHub 2 , the professional drone management platform used by the vast majority of enterprise drone operators worldwide. Drone operators see manned aviation. Manned aviation pilots see cooperative drones. Both sides, at once, in real time. That is a world first at this scale , since DJI Enterprise drones represents more than 70% of the market share. As a pilot, drones are now on your map in flight If you already fly with the SafeSky app, Air Navigation Pro, Easy VFR, Gaggle, Aero-Tracker, or any of the 15+ apps and hardware connected to the SafeSky network, you do not need to do anything . No new equipment, no software upgrade, no new subscription. Cooperative DJI FlightHub 2 drone positions will appear automatically on your traffic display in real time, alongside the rest of the SafeSky traffic picture. When one gets close, you will receive a traffic alert exactly as you would for any other cooperative aircraft. DJI FlightHub 2 showing up in SafeSky to crewed and uncrewed pilots DJI FlightHub 2 Drone Alert showing up on SafeSky App As a drone operator, you are no longer flying blind If you operate on DJI FlightHub 2 and subscribe to a SafeSky Enterprise Plan, live manned aviation traffic appears directly in your mission control interface when your dock connects. No separate application, no manual cross-check before takeoff and nothing for the rest of the flight: you will see cooperative helicopters, General Aviation aircraft, gliders, paramotors with configurable traffic alerts. SafeSky also connects operators beyond FlightHub 2. Whether you fly with a different ground control platform or use entirely different hardware, if you are connected to SafeSky, you share the same live traffic picture with every other operator on the network. For the first time, drone operators across different technologies and manufacturers can see each other in flight. SafeSky traffic integrated in DJI FlightHub 2 In Europe, this directly strengthens your SORA documentation. Getting a BVLOS authorisation requires demonstrating, for each Air Risk Class i n your Area of Operation, that you have the traffic awareness capability to detect and respond to manned aviation . SafeSky gives you a live, multi-source cooperative traffic picture across your ARC levels, with dynamic alerts and the operational records to support your submission to your National Aviation Authority. It does not replace the assessment itself, and authorisation remains at the discretion of your NAA. But it gives you documented, real-time traffic awareness capability built into your mission control platform, rather than something pieced together separately. Norwegian Peoples Aid (NPA) , Helicus in Belgium or Aviant in Norway use SafeSky as part of their active operations: The SafeSky platform plays a critical role in helping us maintain safety and compliance while scaling our services. — Stian W.

(Credit: Norwegian Peoples Aid) Addressing the Airspace Visibility Gap In the rugged, unforgiving terrain of Norway, search and rescue (SAR) operations are a race against time where every second counts. Drones have become an indispensable tool for organisations like Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) , providing critical aerial perspectives. However, the very geography that makes these drones so vital also creates a significant operational risk, a lack of electronic visibility . In narrow valleys and behind mountainous peaks, the challenge is clear, how can drone pilots and helicopter crews maintain a shared, accurate picture of the airspace to prevent a mid-air collision? The Challenge of Deconfliction Between Drones and Manned Aircraft The effective use of drones in SAR missions hinges on seamless deconfliction with manned aviation. The problem is twofold, drone operators often lack a reliable method to see incoming low-flying aircraft, while pilots of manned aircraft have had no way of electronically detecting the presence of small drones operating nearby. Terrain-Induced Signal Blackouts This issue is exacerbated in Norway's mountainous landscape. Conventional ground-based receivers for aviation signals require a clear line of sight. When a rescue operation takes place deep within a fjord or a remote valley, these signals are often blocked by the surrounding terrain, creating "signal blackouts." A helicopter could descend into a valley, completely unaware of a drone operating just kilometres away, introducing an unacceptable level of risk .

(Credit: Norwegian Peoples Aid) A Collaborative Solution with SafeSky To solve this, NPA initiated a collaboration with SafeSky . SafeSky is already a trusted cornerstone of Norwegian aviation safety, widely utilized across the country by the Norwegian Air Ambulance, the Norwegian Police Drone Unit, and the general aviation community . By adopting a platform already integrated into the cockpits the aviation community, NPA ensures that their drone teams are speaking the "same language" as the pilots flying overhead. How the System Works This integration functions by merging live data streams: The drone’s real-time position is transmitted from its control system directly to SafeSky servers, requiring no additional hardware on the drone itself. Manned aircraft signals are captured by deploying a portable, vehicle-mounted Avionix open-air multitrack receiver at the rescue scene. The specific role of this receiver is to capture for signals transmitted by manned aircraft in the immediate vicinity. The Avionix receiver then feeds this local air traffic information into the Safesky network via an internet connection. A vehicle-mounted ground station operates in a rugged mountainous terrain, facilitating manned aviation reception as part of a search and rescue mission. (Credit: Norwegian Peoples Aid) A Shared Picture of the Airspace The SafeSky platform acts as the central hub , receiving both the drone’s position and the data from manned aircraft. This unified picture is displayed within the SafeSky platform for the drone pilot and is publicly visible for all other stakeholders utilising the SafeSky platform . By utilising a platform that is already widespread across Norway, NPA isn't just improving their own visibility, they are contributing to a safer, more transparent airspace for all emergency responders.

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.

Our test setup: Cirrus SR20 with a StarLink Mini What you need to know: On 29 October, the SafeSky team (Tristan and Tanguy) flew from Saint-Trond (EBST) to Memmingen (EDJA) in a Cirrus SR20 , cruising at FL80 . Although the flight was planned for a business meeting, it also served as a real-world test of the Starlink Mini satellite internet setup in GA conditions . Starlink Mini delivered a stable , high-speed connection throughout the flight . SafeSky traffic updates were sent and received without interruption . The antenna costs 249€ . Subscription plans start at 40€/month for 50GB or 5€/month for low-bandwidth standby mode (500kbps). Departure from EBST We departed from Saint-Trond (EBST), where DronePort operates. While preparing for takeoff, we were already connected to the internet through the Starlink Mini, which had a clear view of the sky through the rear windshield. On the ground, SafeSky was receiving nearby traffic, including several co-operative drones flying test missions near DronePort. These were also visible in SkyDemon via SafeSky's traffic feed. Once the drones landed and went silent, they disappeared from SafeSky: a concrete example of real-time awareness, even before leaving the ground. Drones detected at DronePort shown in both SafeSky and SkyDemon before takeoff. Why Starlink Mini in Flight? Starlink Mini has generated increasing interest in the pilot community. It offers high-speed, low-latency satellite internet in a compact form factor and at an affordeable price . With more pilots equipping their aircraft, from 3-axes ultralights to certified General Aviation, the goal was to verify whether the system could support SafeSky and other apps reliably in normal GA operations. The unit costs 249€ in Europe. Subscriptions are flexible: 40€/month for full-speed 50GB, or a €5/month standby option at 500kbps, more than enough for SafeSky, METARs, NOTAMs, and EFB weather radar. Equipment and Installation The Starlink Mini was installed on the rear windshield using a rotatable suction mount for 37,99€ For power, we used a Bluetti power bank , as the SR20's 12V outlet isn’t sufficient to handle Starlink’s peak draw (~60W on startup, ~30W in cruise). Alternatively, a dedicated aviation-ready power setup like the PeakDo LinkPower (integrated power bank + mount) is available and well suited to this use case for $139.00 In-Flight Observations From engine start to landing, we did maintain a stable internet connection. We confirmed download speeds of 250 Mbps and 35 Mbps upload during cruise. Internet access was available before takeoff and remained consistent at FL80. Download speed at cruising altitude FL80 Upload speed at cruising altitude FL80 SafeSky was running on a standard iPhone . The app received one GPS update per second without any dropouts for the flight duration of 2 hours . All surrounding traffic was visible throughout the flight. SafeSky radar view from 30+ traffic sources During cruise, we also used ForeFlight frequently to monitor weather using live radar. A weak return was spotted ahead, helping us prepare for light rain and slight deviation : a good example of real-time weather decision support. Live weather updated right from ForeFlight at FL80 On approach to EDJA, SafeSky showed another aircraft already flying the circuit . We spotted it on the app well before ATC reported it as priority traffic. We confirmed visual contact and maintained separation as we turned base. Safe on short final for EDJA Flight logs as recorded by SafeSky. No internet interruptions You are not alone: other Pilots Flying with Starlink and SafeSky This setup is far from unique. Over the past 10 months, a growing number of early-adopter pilots have equipped their 3-axis ultralights and certified general aviation aircraft with Starlink Mini. A quick search on YouTube or Google shows that "Starlink Mini in aircraft" has become one of the most frequently searched aviation tech topics , confirming the strong and growing interest within the flying community. In a VFR 3-axes ultra-light example, a recent formation flight in June 2025 to the North Cape with several VL3 Elite aircraft used Starlink Mini in the leader aircraft . The connection helped maintain group coordination through SafeSky and provided continuous weather updates , essential in areas where conditions change quickly. Follow their journey on YouTube Starlink mini in the leader VL3 aircraft We also receive many feedbacks from pilots on different SafeSky channels reporting great experiences using StarLink Mini in their ultralights aircraft too: On the IFR side, we get similar feedbacks. Daniel Marques , a private Piper Seneca pilot, is also using Starlink Mini to access live radar, METARs, and SafeSky traffic throughout his routes. Piper Seneca from Daniel Starlink mini on the cockpit of the Piper Seneca “ I have a TCAS onboard, but now with Starlink and SafeSky, I’m seeing more traffic, especially in uncontrolled areas. ”   Daniel Marques , private pilot of Piper Seneca: Final Thoughts Starlink Mini, when paired with SafeSky, represents a significant step forward for general aviation, if not game changing! . For the first time, pilots can benefit from a high-speed, continuous internet connection in flight at an affordable cost . This new accessibility transforms what’s possible in terms of situational awareness and general flight safety . From SafeSky’s live traffic to dynamic NOTAMs , live weather radar, and more, continuous connectivity now allows pilots to access all this information seamlessly , without changing their flying habits. Instead of adopting new tools or investing in new technologies , pilots simply leverage the ones they already use: SafeSky, their preferred EFB, and familiar weather applications, all now kept continuously up to date throughout the flight . While the industry waits for the broader rollout of technologies such as UAT or ADS-L in the years ahead , it’s already clear that systems like Starlink Mini are changing the game today , setting a new standard for aviation, True, some may view Starlink as controversial , but it’s available, functional and proving the concept. Meanwhile, competition is already emerging: OneWeb (via Eutelsat Group) in Europe, Project Kuiper from Amazon, and other low-orbit constellations are gearing up for deployment. This competition will drive down costs, increase availability, and ultimately embed the “connected cockpit” as the new normal . And looking not so far ahead, the next frontier will be even simpler: using your regular unmodified LTE phone or tablet as a connectivity tool in flight, without a dedicated antenna. Starlink is now deploying " Direct To Cell " and is planning to become a telecom operator too! For us, recreational and general aviation pilots, this means greater safety through better in-flight information , delivered directly to the familiar tools we already use, and all at an accessible cost.

The company is applying for an Operational Authorisation to conduct operations assessed via EASA SORA v2.5 at SAIL III . SafeSky provides real-time traffic data and bi-directional air-risk mitigation, forming a key part of Aviant’s safety strategy to apply for SAIL III Meet Aviant! Aviant is a Norwegian technology company building an autonomous logistics network using drones . Its mission is to enable faster, more sustainable deliveries through on-demand, long-range drone transport. The company provides a complete end-to-end system, from aircraft design and autonomous flight software to ground infrastructure and operational control. After thousands of successful commercial flights and the launch of their consumer delivery service Kyte in Norway and Sweden, Aviant is now transitioning from operating in sparsely populated zones (< 500 people/km²) to suburban and low-density metropolitan areas (< 5 000 people/km²) south of Oslo. This shift enables Aviant to serve more people from a single base, boosting efficiency and impact. But it also introduces a need for stronger safety oversight and compliance. To achieve this, Aviant i s applying for an Operational Authorisation to conduct operations assessed via EASA SORA v2.5 at SAIL III , and leveraging SafeSky as a key part of their risk-mitigation strategy. The SafeSky platform plays a critical role in helping us maintain safety and compliance while scaling our services. — Stian W. Helgesen, Flight Operations Manager, Aviant Drone Safety Framework Aviant’s suburban expansion falls under EASA’s Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA 2.5) for “Specific” category UAS operations. Their goal is to reduce initial risk level 6 to a residual 3, corresponding to SAIL III . Ground-Risk Mitigation : Handled through route planning, altitude control, and a medium-classification parachute system to minimise ground-impact risk. Air-Risk Mitigation : More complex, requiring clearly defined operational and adjacent volumes, publication via NOTAM or Danger Area (geozones planned later), and live mitigations through situational-awareness traffic data . Aviant’s initial ARC-c has been successfully mitigated to ARC-b , supported by real-time traffic data, electronic conspicuity, and SafeSky integration. SORA Risk Evaluation How SafeSky Enhances Aviant’s Safety and Compliance 1 - Real-Time Bi-Directional Traffic Data Exchange Through SafeSky’s API and Network ID , Aviant integrates live manned- and unmanned-aircraft data directly into its operations centre. In return, its drones broadcast their own positions back into the SafeSky network. This bi-directional exchange not only satisfies SORA 2.5 tactical-mitigation requirements but also bridges the gap between traditional aviation and autonomous drone operations, giving both communities real-time mutual awareness . 2 - MultiTracker Ground Stations and Operational Resilience Aviant has deployed several ground stations equipped with Multitracker Avionix systems , serving as both traffic-awareness tools and backup systems in case a drone loses network connectivity or the LTE provider fails. Each Multitracker continuously feeds traffic-awareness data into Aviant’s Operational Control Centre (OCC), the Avionix Aero-Network , and the S afeSky network , ensuring uninterrupted visibility and coordination across all operational layers. Avionx openAir ground station - ADS-B, Mode-S, ADS-L, FLARM, FANET, OGN Tracker reception connected to SafeSky 3 - Heatmaps and Airspace Intelligence Aviant currently uses Avinor commercial traffic data to produce quarterly heatmaps that identify areas of concentrated aviation activity and seasonal flight-pattern variations. In the future, SafeSky will complement this with multi-source data from 30 + traffic feeds , covering paragliders, gliders, paramotors, ultralights, trikes, general aviation, and other drone operators, providing a truly comprehensive picture of low-altitude airspace activity . SafeSky map coverage from 30+ traffic sources Why This Matters? 1 - For Drone Operators Transitioning into suburban or low-density metropolitan zones requires not just regulatory approval but live, actionable awareness . SafeSky’s integration helps operators like Aviant go beyond compliance , delivering continuous situational awareness and a proven air-risk-reduction layer for SORA 2.5 SAIL III . 2 - For Manned Aviation Pilots With Aviant’s data now shared through SafeSky, pilots can see drones operating nearby in real time, improving coordination and reducing mid-air-collision risk in shared airspace. Inter-operability and bi-directional visibility in practise “SafeSky’s bi-directional traffic exchange expands our situational awareness and lets us scale into suburban Oslo safely and responsibly.” — Herman Øie Kolden, CTO & Co-Founder, Aviant Ready to Expand Safely? Whether you’re preparing for new operational authorisations or scaling your drone activities, SafeSky helps you integrate real-time traffic data, heatmap intelligence, and network-based air-risk mitigation to support compliance and enhance safety under EASA SORA v2.5 . “With Aviant, we’re showing how multi-source traffic and live data sharing make integrated airspace practical today, not just on paper.” — Tristan Fily, CEO, SafeSky

What you need to know: The Aero Tracker : it's a portable eConspicuity device designed specifically for small aircraft and general aviation. Maximum interoperability : it combines over-the-air traffic (868 Mhz & 1090 Mhz) with SafeSky traffic over LTE, so every pilot can see and be seen much more. New radio inputs : Aero-Tracker now receives Mode-S (bearingless) and FLARM over-the-air. Aligned with EASA standards : It's ADS-L compliant and ADS-L4 Mobile ready with SafeSky. Interoperable by design: integrated with 30+ traffic sources and streams to popular navigation Apps over Bluetooth and Wifi. As a pilot, how can I maximise traffic awareness in flight? Airspace is busy and diverse : gliders, general aviation aircraft, helicopters, paramotors, trikes, paragliders... Each community tends to favour its own electronic conspicuity tools (e.g. FLARM for gliding, ADS-B/Mode-S for general aviation, FANET for paragliders, etc.). Every system has strengths and trade-offs, and none covers all airborne traffic on its own. The result is fragmentation : pockets of visibility and inevitable blind spots , and precisely where risk hides. In addition, our airspace is now welcoming the rapid growth of UAS/drones , which also favour their own systems with Remote ID and ADS-L . This is increasing the need for interoperable visibility between all pilot classes. Respecting diversity, connecting communities Each pilot community has, over time, naturally sought to solve its own electronic conspicuity challenges and often landed with a specific technology. These choices are never arbitrary. They’re the result of years of flying habits, equipment compatibility, cost considerations , and the strong influence of peer communities . For example: FLARM is widely adopted in the gliding community because of its low weight, power efficiency, and peer network effect. ADS-B has become a standard in certified aviation due to regulatory momentum and system integration with avionics. Mode-S is used extensively in certified and uncertified aviation for ATC surveillance, but wasn’t designed for pilot-to-pilot visibility. FANET is a lightweight, energy-efficient option tailored for free flight. Mobile app-based visibility offers maximum flexibility and affordability for recreational, ultralight and general aviation pilots. Each of these systems comes with existing financial investments for the pilots, and serves a real and justified purpose . So while it might seem idealistic to say, “everyone should just install ADS-B” , the reality is much more nuanced. You can’t reasonably ask a paramotorist or paraglider to invest in a certified transponder just to fly in uncontrolled airspace. It’s neither financially viable nor even technically practical. The same applies to gliders: FLARM is ideally suited to their needs and now equips 95% of gliders in Europe. Different communities have different requirements , aircraft limitations, and flying environments, and the technologies they use today are simply a reflection of those realities. At SafeSky , we then don’t believe in imposing one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we value each aviation community’s unique choices and strive to bridge the visibility gap between them, all while respecting the freedom of flight and improve safety. Our goal has always been to: Support existing technologies rather than replace them. Reduce cost and complexity for the pilot, not increase it. Offer an easy-to-use app that brings together traffic information from a wide spectrum of trusted sources: ADS-B, FLARM, FANET, ADS-L, SafeSky mobile traffic, and more. Create a composite air picture where all airspace users can be visible to one another, regardless of how their position was transmitted. Aero-Tracker and SafeSky : over-the-air and LTE traffic, together! The Aero-Tracker, a direct collaboration between SafeSky and AVIONIX , takes our philosophy a step further by now combining direct radio reception  (over-to-air) with internet connectivity  (LTE with ADS-L4 Mobile) in the cockpit. So you see more traffic in one single view. Radio reception gives you immediate local detection , while LTE extends your situational awareness with aggregated traffic from the SafeSky network . And the Aero-Tracker doesn’t just pick up traffic: it also shares your position too with others. It broadcasts over the most widely used radio protocols , and simultaneously via LTE to the SafeSky network , making you visible across more than 30 connected platforms . The result is traffic awareness for more visible aircraft  in one compact device. Who will you see when flying? As a pilot, you will see the most complete traffic situational awareness available today: General aviation Gliders Military Paramotors Paragliders Trikes Ultra-lights Helicopters Drones How does it work? As mentioned, the Aero-Tracker combines the most widely adopted over-the-air radio traffic systems with SafeSky’s aggregated LTE traffic. Here’s are the details: Over air-to-air radio (1090Mhz and 868Mhz): ADS-B (reception only) Mode-S (bearingless reception only) FLARM (reception only) ADS-L (reception and transmission) OGN-Tracker (reception and transmission) FANET (reception and transmission) Over LTE (ADS-L4 Mobile): traffic from over 30+ sources: The SafeSky network (95 000 pilots) ADS-B Mode-S using MLAT (multi-lateration) FLARM PilotAware MicroTrack Flying Neuron Drone Remote ID Navigation Apps (such as Air Navigation Pro, EasyVFR, SwissNavX...) Paragliding and paramotors software (such as XC-Track, Gaggle, CloudDash, eVario, Wing-It, TheFlightVario, XC-Guide...) Electronic devices (such as FlyMaster, Syride, SkyTraxx, other Aero-Tracker) Drones (from DroneTag, SkeyDrones, HemsWX, DroneSense, DroneMatrix., Aviant, Helicus and many more) Best of both worlds: combining over-the-air and LTE traffic How to use your Aero-Tracker in the cockpit? The Aero-Tracker works either with the SafeSky App, or with your favourite navigation apps, such as SkyDemon, Air Navigation Pro, EasyVFR, ForeFlight, SDVFR Next , so you can see a live traffic layer in the map you already use, and receive traffic alerts when in flight. Simply connect your existing App to the Aero-Tracker over Bluetooth NMEA or over Wifi with GDL90 . SkyDemon with traffic overlay and embedded radar view Air Navigation Pro with traffic warnings EASA Standards, compliance, and recognition SafeSky and AVIONIX are active members of the ADS-L coalition , and the Aero-Tracker is the first product to fully embrace EASA’s multi-path electronic conspicuity approach . It is fully compliant with EASA’s ADS-L specification and ready for ADS-L4 Mobile , This positions the Aero-Tracker as a reference implementation for interoperable and affordable eConspicuity, recognised by the community for turning policy and standards into practical safety gains.

Credit: Trøndelag fire and rescue on drone operation What you need to know: Emergency drones operated across 40 municipalities in Central Norway were not visible  to helicopter crews. Fire emergency dispatch center in Mid-Norway  needed a way to coordinate drone positions with helicopters. With SafeSky and Dronetag Mini , these drones are now visible to one another. The setup is simple , operational, and compatible with future autonomous deployments. The problem with invisible Drones for emergency services In Midt-Norge (Central Norway), the Fire emergency dispatch center coordinates fire and rescue services for all 40 municipalities. In the Trøndelag region, as part of their regional drone preparedness, a shared fleet of DJI drones is in operation, staffed by a team of 10 certified pilots . These drones can be requested for emergency missions across the region, supporting search and rescue, wildfire surveillance , flood monitoring , and more. This lack of visibility between helicopters, manned aviation and the drones made coordination difficult and introduced real safety risks , especially during high-stakes emergency missions. Sverre Hogstad , Chief Pilot for the Trøndelag region said: " A key priority for us is airspace safety. We often operate in parallel with manned aircraft, including Norwegian Air Ambulance and the Royal Norwegian Air Force’s SAR helicopters. This makes it essential that our drones are visible in the same systems used by helicopter crews. " How was it solved? The turning point came when SafeSky became compatible with the Dronetag Mini . With this integration, the Trøndelag team found a solution that was affordable, effective and easy to deploy. Once attached to the drone, the Dronetag Mini  begins broadcasting position using both RemoteID for compliance and SafeSky network for situation awareness with other airspace users. Operated drones can now legitimately be seen by manned aviation : SAR and HEMS helicopters can continue to use their existing onboard Apps , such as SafeSky App or Air Navigation Pro . General aviation and recreational pilots, such as paragliders, paramotors and utlra-lights; can also see the drones from any of the 30+ compatible systems . And in return, the Trøndelag team operators get to see other manned traffic while operating their drones. Example on Air Navigation Pro used by HEMS Helicopters The Dronetag Mini on a DJI drone. A USB cable ensures automatic activation on takeoff. Sverre Hogstad , Chief Pilot for the Trøndelag region explained: " SafeSky has been on our radar for some time, and it finally offered the solution we were looking for. Thanks to SafeSky’s integration into HemsWX and Air Navigation Pro, our drones are now visible in the tools used by emergency helicopters." SAR Queen helicopters operating across Norway.
