“Mayday – Mayday – Mayday”: SafeSky for better and for worse.

What you need to know.

• SafeSky supports air safety in both good times and bad.

• The Search & Rescue (SAR) App function helps pilots call for help in emergencies.

• Not only is it free, but it's also independent of ATC availability or radio interferences.

• Our ambition is to create a European portal for SAR personnel.

• As a pilot or safety authority, you can play an active role in this initiative. 

As summer continues, many hours of flying fun lie ahead. But unfortunately, danger sometimes lurks around the corner. Despite our responsible behaviour, we all know stories of engine trouble or even worse, accidents. That’s why SafeSky is here to support you, not just in good times, but also when things go wrong.

Do you know SafeSky’s SAR service?

In 2022, we introduced the Search & Rescue (SAR) function in the SafeSky App. With just one click, pilots can call for help when they're in trouble.

How it works:

👉 Add up to 3 emergency contacts in the SafeSky App who will be notified if you're in an emergency situation.

👉 These contacts will receive an email or SMS with your emergency alert, your exact location, and the SAR contact details for the country you're in.

👉 They forward this information to the relevant SAR services as indicated in the message, including a link to download the current trace of your flight.

👉 The SAR services start the search and, thanks to SafeSky, stay updated on your position.

👉 SafeSky also gets an alert and stands by to assist authorities in the search.

Civil Aviation Authorities support SafeSky's SAR service.

SAR operations can be complicated or even impossible without an emergency beacon or a device to determine the last known position of an aircraft, leading to precious time being lost. What's more, ATC is not always available or radio communication can be complicated. Unfortunately, there are many examples of SAR missions that took hours, before turning to SafeSky which could pinpoint the pilot's exact location. That’s why SafeSky collaborates with the SAR services across Europe and beyond.

Ambitious plan for SAR: creation of a European SAR portal.

Committed to revolutionising air safety challenges, we have the ambitious idea to create a European portal specifically for SAR personnel. This portal, which could also cover overseas territories, aims to centralise access to essential data and facilitate coordination between various rescue teams across Europe.

Are you a SAR authority? We invite all European SAR services to reach out if they want to be part of this ambitious project.
