FAQ

SkyCompanion supports drone pilots in ensuring legal and safe drone operation. It clearly displays all the necessary information for your flight mission and automates documentation.

Details: The map shows you geo-zones, current flight restrictions, weather data, and air traffic (including remote ID). To help you keep track of everything, the information for your own flight mission is prepared and filtered.

You can plan missions, determine the respective operations category, and automatically document them as a PDF protocol.

Yes, SkyCompanion shows drone pilots at a glance where they are allowed to fly and where they are not.

Details: Geo-zones are areas where restrictions apply to the operation of drones, e.g., hospitals, public authorities. In SkyCompanion, you can view geo-zones on the map and get detailed information about the geo-zones in your area of operation.

In addition, special airspaces and no-fly zones are displayed where drone operation may also be restricted, such as airport controlled trafic regions. This allows you to quickly assess whether flying is permitted in your desired area and under what conditions.

Yes, SkyCompanion provides an overview and tips on important rules that drone pilots must follow when flying.

Details: When preparing your mission, practical explanations will help you understand how your plans affect your operations category (e.g. open category A1) and what constraints you must adhere to during your flights, e.g., distances from people, flight speeds, flight altitudes, and much more.

Yes, SkyCompanion automatically determines which (sub)category you are flying in based on the information you provide, e.g., open category A1.

Details: Each drone flight falls into a particular category, which is determined based on conditions that can be quite complex. SkyCompanion helps you determine the correct (sub)category for your flight mission with an assisted questionnaire.

This feature is currently available for drone flights in the open category. A feature for determining a SAIL level in the specific category will follow later.

Yes. SkyCompanion automatically generates mission protocols for drone flights as PDF with the relevant mission data.

Details: You can export a PDF flight protocol for each mission. The protocol contains important mission details, the operations category, the affected geo-zones, relevant NOTAMs in the region, and selected weather data (min/max values). This simplifies your documentation, approvals, and audits—especially for professional use.

  • The most comprehensive and most current geo-zones on the market, compiled from official government registers.
  • Weather data from the German Weather Service (DWD), the Helmholtz Centre of Geosciences (GFZ), and official airport weather stations.
  • Live air traffic data from the world’s largest tracking network, ADSB Exchange, and from OGN
  • NOTAMs from official ICAO publications

Remarks: Currently, data availability is limited to Germany; availability and topicality of the data may be temporarily limited due to technical or other reasons.

Yes, SkyCompanion displays official airspace restrictions on the map (e.g., ED-R, TFR) and current NOTAMs in readable language.

Details: Every year, thousands of events are published in the airspace (e.g., short-term closures, military exercises), and drone pilots also need to be aware of the relevant notifications in order to fly safely and legally.

SkyCompanion displays this information filtered for the location and time of your flight mission so that you can maintain an overview.

Yes, SkyCompanion issues warnings when air traffic approaches your mission area.

Details: When an aircraft approaches your mission area, you will receive a clear warning via the app. These warnings appear when the foreign aircraft is within a distance of 5,000 m and a maximum altitude difference of 1,000 m from your mission area.

We merge various sources for our live air traffic, including high-quality data from the world’s largest tracking network, ADS-B Exchange, and OGN.

SkyCompanion also displays Remote IDs of nearby drones on the map. You can mark your own drone to clearly distinguish it from others.

  • Live precipitation radar from the DWD for the past 6 hours and the next 2 hours.
  • Kp index from the GFZ with a forecast for up to 72 hours. 
  • Official aviation weather reports from dozens of airport weather stations (METAR & TAF).

Yes, key functions like mission planning and determination of operations categories are available offline; live data (e.g., NOTAMs, weather, traffic) require an internet connection like in any other data related app, too.

Details: You can plan missions, use saved map areas, and prepare flights without a connection. However, without internet, live information is not updated: uncached map date, current weather, live traffic, new NOTAMs. For final pre-flight checks, we recommend going online in SkyCompanion to ensure you have the latest data.
