A new version 2.0.4 The start of the holidays and a lot of news. Check out the most recent issue of our newsletter, and don't hesitate to sign up on our website to get the upcoming ones!

Hello, fellow pilots! After a busy start of the year and AERO 2022, the SafeSky team continues innovating to provide you with greater user experience. Our purpose remains the same: GREATER SAFETY FOR ALL . So, what do we have to offer this time? Version 2.03 is now all yours. SafeSky Version 2.03 This new version aligns with our goal of increasing SafeSky's compatibility and interoperability by forming new partnerships with navigation software developers and device manufacturers. Here are some of the latest version's new features: Air Navigation Pro : SafeSky is compatible with Air Navigation Pro. SafeSky traffic is now available on your AirNavPro maps thanks to a great partnership between the two teams. Sky-Map : Sky-Map is a German navigation program that can now display our traffic. Double echo : If you have a transponder, SafeSky recommends encoding your hexadecimal code to avoid the double echo phenomenon. However, many of you are unaware of this code or do not have access to it (e.g. rental aircraft). This new version warns you if you have a double echo and offers to automatically encode the hexadecimal value found in your device settings. A significant step forward! Weather : Even when an airfield does not have a weather station, weather data (METAR and TAF) are accessible. Information from the nearest stations is then offered. And we pledge to make further work in this area, because weather affects flight safety as well! STRATUX : It is now possible to establish an IP address for pilots who use a Stratux device. Check out the STRATUX website on SafeSky compatibility and configuration . We invite you to download our latest version to learn more about these and other new features. Are you PREMIUM ? During the AERO 2022 exhibition, we realised that many of you were unaware of the existence of the PREMIUM plan in addition to our free version. While the free version includes all security-related features, the PREMIUM plan provides enhanced user convenience and, most importantly, compatibility and interoperability with external peripherals and navigation applications. As a reminder, the key benefits of the PREMIUM plan are: Shared traffic with GDL90 compatible navigation software such as SkyDemon, AirNavPro, EasyVFR4, Sky-Map, SDFVR, and others Increased visibility on traffic thanks to SafeSky compatibility with SkyEcho, Stratux, and Power Flarm devices. This is a fantastic technological advancement!

The Tour des Bretons 2023, titled "Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis... au clair de lune..." has come to an end! It brought together 26 diverse aircraft, ranging from microlights to Pioneer 300-type fixed-wing planes, piloted by passionate aviators aged 35 to 77. Our journey took us from Alençon, where participants gathered, to Fontenay-le-Comte, with stops in Berck, Maubeuge, and Chartres along the way. The event unfolded flawlessly, thanks to reinforced safety measures and the extensive use of the SafeSky traffic awareness application by many participating pilots. During the transit flights between different airfields, we witnessed a procession of little blue planes on the SafeSky map. It was a visual representation of the fleet moving together, ensuring enhanced safety throughout the journey. At Berck, we had the great pleasure of meeting Paul Windey, and at Maubeuge, we were warmly welcomed by Tristan Fily—both esteemed members of the SafeSky team. The Tour des Bretons pilots had the opportunity to engage in conversations with them, asking questions about the app's usage. All who used the application agreed on its value, especially when flying in a larger group like ours, as it proved particularly helpful during arrivals at destination airfields and when visiting points of interest along the route, such as Etretat and the Bay of Somme. We express our gratitude to SafeSky for providing one-month Premium licenses to all Tour des Bretons participants. We hope that many pilots will continue to use the application and spread the word to others, as they have experienced its benefits firsthand. SafeSky has truly contributed to the success and safety of our journey, and we look forward to future adventures with their support! Jean-Michel Boursier - organiser "Tour des Bretons 2023".
