If one or more of your fellow pilots (included in your SafeSky fellow pilots list - see the "Settings" chapter) is in flight, you can easily locate them on the map and send them pre-recorded messages if you wish.

By clicking on "Filters," you will access the following page:

Filters_red.png

If a red dot is displayed on the "Filters" icon, it means that filters have been applied.
  • Pressing "Reset" will return the application to its default settings.
  • You can choose to enable or disable the display of grounded aircraft.
  • The MAP filter interacts with the altitude of the aircraft displayed on the map.

  • This filter has no impact on the display of in-flight traffic when using the radar mode. It is solely intended for the display of traffic in map mode.

  • The RADAR filter is important as it provides the visible traffic range in relation to your position. For example, in this case, the radar-visible traffic will be within the range of -3,500ft / +3,5000ft relative to your flight altitude.
  • The following three filters are:
    • Aircraft: Filters the type of aircraft you want to be displayed.
    • Transponder: Filters the types of transponders aggregated by SafeSky you want to be displayed, including ADS-B, ADS-L, ASTERIX, FANET, FLARM, FLYING NEURONS, FLYMASTER, INREACH, MICROTRAK, MODE-S, NAVITER, OGN TRACKER, PILOT AWARE, REMOTE ID (Recreational Drones), SAFESKY, SPIDER, SPOT, XC GUIDE, XC TRACK. This list of transponders aggregated by SafeSky is continuously updated.
    • Airport: Filters the types of airports you want to be displayed on the map (Airport, Ultralight Base, Hydrobase, Gliders, etc.).

  • Traffic displayed in black is traffic from compatible aggregated information sources. Traffic displayed in blue is traffic from SafeSky sources.

This section is where you can manage all of SafeSky's Settings. There is a dedicated chapter for it.

Take off

DECOLLER.png

This is essential, as your position will not be shared with the SafeSky community without pressing "TAKE OFF".

If you wish to transfer traffic to a navigation software (SkyDemon, ForeFlight, or others), it is imperative to press "TAKE OFF" even while grounded. This action activates traffic sharing with compatible navigation software. Without "TAKE OFF" there will be no traffic on the navigation software's maps.

The "TAKE OFF" action will automatically display the radar screen.
