Despite the gloomy weather in Europe, the year 2023 is off to a flying start:
Better Safe(Sky) than Sorry! "If only s/he had turned on SafeSky". We sincerely hope we won’t to have to hear that statement again in 2023 from the air incident authorities when they desperately come to us.
U-space: Reserved airspace for Drones in Europe. Countdown has started. On 26 January 2023, a comprehensive collection of extremely detailed regulations - the most recent of which was released on December 20 - that make up the European rule for U-space go into effect.
Use of mobile technology in the air no longer forbidden! Europe abolishes the airplane mode obligation. The European Commission will designate specific frequencies of the new 5G network that will allow cell phones to remain connected while flying.
Going flying without SafeSky is like leaving home without a wallet. For Dave - a British pilot - SafeSky has become an integral part of his life.
Tip of the month: Use of SafeSky outside EU. Despite the fact that SafeSky is currently only available in European app stores, this does not preclude you from using it outside of Europe.
Happy New Year & Reading !
