Hi
Are flightlogs always stored on device only or can these logs be retrived from other rescources ( server) ? in case if pilot ( SafeSky user) and plane is missing and search and rescue team are trying to get info about pilots flight track ( flightlog)?
Regards
Bernhard
Hello,
The flight log is always stored on the device until we develop a CLOUD solution.
However, if you activate SAR, it will automatically record your current flight and SAR services will then be able to view your position without using your device, of course.
Yours faithfully
Ok
I fine and thanks. I am looking forward to your
CLOUD feature. According to the SAR guide this only helps if the pilot himself activates the MAYDAY function only - which is fine per se but if pilot and plane impacts on ground in remote aera ( and no activation on MAYDAY function) what happens then? Is the track stored somewhere other than on device?
Regards
Bernhard
Hello,
The trace is still stored but anonymous. Finding a track that has not been activated by a MayDay takes time and research on our part, taking into account the location (+/-), the callsign if given and, of course, the time. On the other hand, if the Mayday has been activated, the track is automatically recorded and a direct link to the flight can be accessed by the emergency services.
This feature should certainly not be underestimated, as it can drastically speed up the time it takes to find the wreck and possibly save the lives of the pilot and any passengers. Because time is of the essence…
Best regards, and happy flying…
Hi
Thanks for info. This feature with " Mayday " is nice but on the other hand if the user can’t trigger the mayday function the there could be some delay for for " search and rescue" to get the track available.
This is why I am using one of the numerous online trackers (wikilok) available on playstore to let relatives follow my flight - each time I go flying. Instant access to tracking record. This tracker uses the same connection feeature ( phone connection) as SafeSky. I have about 150 flights recorded on this tracker and tracks fine up to 4000 feet tested but most of my flights are below 4000 feet…

Good idea Wikiloc.
SafeSky side, it’s normal to push a button to activate the MAYDAY as well we need to call the AFIS by radio to say Mayday Mayday Mayday. Same for squawking 7700 code.
Don’t forget that WIKILOC don’t send a message if you have an emergency situation, you will always need to make an action.
What’s your safety process with WIKILOC in case of emergency?
My opinion, continue to consider the two both…the objective of Wikiloc is not the same than SafeSky SAR…But Wikiloc is certainly a good idea to follow your traces. Also possible with www.live.safesky.app
Best regards,
As said before I use wikilok to make sure that my friends / family can follow my flight online - if somehow the track quits then they know they will have to check for instance call me on the phone. Fine that this feature is availble on SafeSky. Been using wikilok long before SafeSky came out and I like to access Wikilok old logged tracks device independed with wikiloc installed. The SafeSky logged tracks are not device independed. The SafeSky logged track data info is limited - there is only Max or Average speed ,altitude and distance provided. Wikilok provides this also but in addition if you follow the recorded track on screen with your finger you get altitude and speed on each timelevel ( 20 sec). Wiikilok uses GPS to track position, speed and altitude. This data is automatically sent via phone connection to wikilok SERVER which then transmitts the data via Internet for access wich updates on 20 sec. interwal.
