In the aircraft

See & be seen.

A skyBlip makes your aircraft visible to others and displays surrounding traffic.

skyBlip Go the pocket tracker

A standalone, battery-powered device with nothing to install: it slips into a jacket pocket and sits in the cockpit. It transmits your position, receives everyone else’s (including FLARM-equipped gliders), shows a radar on its own screen and alerts on converging traffic. Connected over Bluetooth, it puts the aircraft around you into the navigation app you already use: SDVFR Next, SkyDemon, ForeFlight and the others.

Works everywhere, with no infrastructure and no subscription. Under skyPost ground coverage, the picture gains the traffic detected from the ground (airliners and touring aircraft on ADS-B) plus weather (QNH, METAR, TAF).

skyBlip Panel for glass cockpits

For aircraft with a glass cockpit: Garmin G3X, Dynon SkyView and others. A discreet unit installed behind the panel and powered by the aircraft — with no screen of its own, it shows traffic on the display you already fly with, like a factory-fitted traffic source. No subscription, no SIM card.

Each skyBlip keeps a track of your flights in its memory. Back on the ground, open your browser and connect over Bluetooth: your flights download in seconds, with no app and no account.

On the ground

Received on the ground, relayed in flight.

Airliners and a large share of touring aircraft already announce their position over ADS-B. skyPost ground stations receive those announcements, add the traffic from online networks such as the Open Glider Network (OGN), and rebroadcast the whole picture to the skyBlips in flight. One station on a club roof covers the field, the circuit and the surroundings; the solar version mounts on a simple mast.

The devices

Two devices to choose from for the aircraft (skyBlip Go, skyBlip Panel) and two ground station models (skyPost Helio, skyPost Bridge).

The devices

For the technically minded

In short

skyBlip and skyPost implement ADS-L (ADS-L 4 SRD-860, Issue 2), the electronic conspicuity protocol published by EASA for the licence-free 868 MHz band.

ADS-B is neither re-implemented nor transmitted on 1090 MHz: it is received on the ground by the skyPosts, then relayed over ADS-L. The skyPosts exchange traffic with the Open Glider Network in both directions.
