8 - FAQ

Yes, you can charge the Aero Tracker in-flight.

• Simply connect it to a power bank or a USB port in your aircraft.
• The USB power source should provide 5V at 2A for optimal performance.
• This allows continuous operation during extended flights.

For optimal performance, install the Aero Tracker in a horizontalvertical position with a clear view of the sky.

• Mount it flat (horizontally)vertical inside your aircraft.
• Make sure there are no obstacles above it, such as metal surfaces or dense materials, which could interfere with the GPS and transmission signals.
• Avoid placing it under seats, dashboards, or near high-power electronics.

Proper placement ensures maximum tracking accuracy and consistent communication with SafeSky.

The Aero Tracker battery lasts between 5 to 8 hours, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

• Continuous tracking and data transmission may shorten battery life.
• Using power-saving features or connecting to an external power source can help extend operating time during longer flights.

When you are grounded, the Aero Tracker automatically stops transmitting your position to the SafeSky network.
This is a power-saving feature designed to reduce unnecessary network traffic when the aircraft is not flying.

• Air-to-air transmissions continue even while grounded, so nearby devices can still detect you.
• Once airborne, the tracker will automatically resume transmitting your position to the network.

This helps optimise both performance and privacy during ground operations.

The Aero Tracker is optimised to display only proximity traffic when connected to your EFB.
By default, traffic is filtered to show aircraft within ±2000 feet vertically and within a 20 NM radius around your position.

• This ensures your EFB remains uncluttered and focused on relevant traffic.
• The SafeSky app, however, may show a broader view for situational awareness.

This balance helps avoid overloading your navigation display with unnecessary data.
