A pilot’s must-have array of solutions for safer skies 

Keep your crew and passengers safe and informed. Harness up-to-the-minute consolidated turbulence data to make proactive in-flight decisions.

SkyPath is a crowdsourced app that provides pilots with notifications about upcoming turbulence along their flight route. It delivers visible and audible alerts before turbulence is encountered, along with a view of the surrounding airspace turbulence map. This allows pilots to take proactive measures, such as ensuring Passengers and crew are seated and buckled or adjusting altitude to avoid turbulence.

SkyPath delivers complete coverage with 80% accurate ride quality data seamlessly integrated with industry-leading EFB apps.

SkyPathX is our latest cutting-edge software-only iPad app. It delivers real-time turbulence notifications and predictive nowcasting directly to you. Your iPad’s accelerometers capture turbulence data, processed through our proprietary algorithms and enhanced with crowdsourced data and programed insights, providing a comprehensive view of turbulence conditions along your route.

Whether used natively or integrated into your preferred app, the industry’s leading turbulence database is always at your fingertips.

01
Reducing pilots’ workload with SkyPath OneLayer technology 

OneLayer is the first smart, consolidated ride quality integrated data source designed for pilots. It is a powerful combination of SkyPath's observational data, AI-driven nowcasting, EDR, SkyPath ADSB VR (Vertical Rate) Turbulence technology and PIREPs, all integrated into a user-friendly platform. OneLayer enhances your situational awareness, ensuring you're never caught off guard along your route. 

02
Turbulence notifications

Receive real-time visible and audible turbulence notifications, ensuring safety while optimizing service. You remain fully covered even when the SkyPath App runs in the background, as notifications are delivered seamlessly on top of the screen, even when other applications are being utilized. Asa pilot, being notified in time and turning on the seatbelt sign at the right moment can significantly reduce flight injuries and elevate passengers' and crew's overall flight experience 

03
Turbulence nowcasting

Predict and prevent the impact of turbulence with SkyPath’s cutting-edge AI-driven turbulence forecast. 12 hours of prediction, more than 80% accuracy, and 100% global coverage. 

04
PIREPs

 No more tedious processes for submitting official FAA weather PIREPs through FMS, ACARS or ATC. A simple two-tap, drag and drop interface lets you share flight-critical, geo-localized information with the aviation community. From standard PIREPs like icing, wind, clouds and precipitation, to SkyPath’s innovative enhanced reports such as GPS jamming and braking action.  

The power of data is within reach.

05
Global data coverage with ADS-B VR (vertical rate) turbulence data empowered by SkyPath's one-of-a-kind algorithm. 

Revolutionize your turbulence awareness with SkyPath ADS-B VR, the world’s first ADS-B-derived turbulence data source. By analyzing vertical rate data transmitted from aircraft, SkyPath generates 500 million turbulence reports daily, significantly expanding observational data. This wealth of information is presented using SkyPath’s intuitive hexagon interface and severity scale, offering global coverage that you can rely on. 

06
Automate your workflow, join the ARINC-840A revolution 

With SkyPathX, you no longer have to repeat tasks or manage multiple apps. As the first EFB application to support the ARINC 840A protocol, SkyPath streamlines your workflow by auto-launching and preloading your flight plan when you open the app. Your flight number and route waypoints are instantly synced, saving you valuable time and significantly reducing your pre-flight workload, so you can focus on flying safely and be on other critical tasks.

SkyPath 360
for pilots

The SkyPath 360 ecosystem allows you to collaborate intuitively and plan ahead with confidence and ease. Avoid reactive decisions and work seamlessly with your dispatcher, risk & safety teams to maintain a tactical and strategic oversight on the upcoming turbulence and the decisions you need to make to keep your passengers and crew safe.

Frequently asked questions

Do you consider the turbulence intensity by airplane type?

Yes, since different aircraft sizes experience turbulence in the air in different severity scales, the SkyPath system is normalizing the reports by aircraft type, and presents the information already normalized and calculated to the pilots and the dispatch teams intuitively so they do not need to think about that or make any adjustments.

Are there any aircraft integration or hardware requirements?

No, the SkyPath service is a software only solution, which runs on the pilot iPads and uses the native Apple iPad sensors, connectivity and GPS reception to function. It can be deployed as a native app (downloaded to the iPad) or as an integrated layer in an EFB/ EFF app.

Does the app require connectivity?

SkyPath can operate without a connection during the flight, by downloading the turbulence and PIREP information on the ground and before the departure. Skypath records all information gathered during flight and uploads it after landing to its servers.However, for the most accurate results, a connection will provide real-time turbulence reports, up to the minute.

How do you use my airline information?

SkyPath is SOC2 type 2 compliant and does not hold any personal information. The data is both anonymized and hashed and is only used to create the real-time turbulence and PIREPs map layer.

How do you distinguish iPad tap and turbulence? What happens if the pilot moves the iPad?

We are using sophisticated algorithms to filter noise and provide the most accurate turbulence reports at all times. The system knows how to distinguish between turbulence signals and pilot tapping or aircraft noise. In addition, the SkyPath system senses when the iPad is mounted safely in the cradle, so when the pilots pick up the iPad from it for a couple of minutes, the system pauses to record and automatically starts again when the iPad is mounted back in the cradle.
