SkyWatch

SkyWatch

A global information hub for airplanes, pilots and airdromes.

SkyWatch connects small aerodromes, gliding fields, and community airstrips — and the pilots and aircraft that use them — into one live, public network sharing local pictures, radio chatter, traffic, and weather with anyone who needs them.

See the live network How to get a station

One small device. A whole field online.

A SkyWatch station is a compact, low-power appliance installed at an airfield. It watches, listens, and reports — then publishes everything it collects in real time.

📷

Live imagery

A camera captures the field and sky, giving anyone checking in a real look at current conditions before they fly.

📡

Radio & traffic

An SDR radio receiver streams the local CTAF/tower frequency live and archives it, while public ADS-B data plots nearby aircraft on the map.

🌡️

Weather

METAR and TAF data is pulled in alongside each station, so pilots get field conditions and imagery side by side.

How it works

From a box at the edge of the runway to a point on a public map, in four steps.

Install

Mount the SkyWatch device at your field and connect it to power and Wi-Fi.

Capture

It photographs the field, listens to the local radio frequency, and tracks aircraft overhead.

Publish

Images, live audio streams, and recordings are pushed to the SkyWatch servers automatically.

Share

Your station joins the public network — visible on the live map alongside every other SkyWatch field.

Community-powered, openly shared

SkyWatch isn't a service you subscribe to — it's a network you join.

How it works

You buy a SkyWatch device and install it at your own airdrome, gliding field, or strip. From that moment your station is part of a shared, public network: your data helps every pilot and enthusiast checking conditions nearby, and in turn your field shows up on a map built from stations just like yours, everywhere else.

Why it works this way

No single company can put a camera and a radio at every airfield in the world. A network built by the people who actually operate those fields can. The more stations that join, the more useful the map becomes for everyone — including you.
