Traffic at a glance
A radar-style traffic view designed to help the pilot in command (PIC) to interpret relative position and surrounding traffic without clutter.
Pilot-focused traffic awareness
Reach for the Sky with
!!
A dedicated aviation traffic display designed to make compatible Stratux* traffic data easier to see, understand and hear — with a clear interface built around the pilot.
An independent development project. Designed as an advisory aid — never a replacement for lookout, approved avionics or ATC instructions.

Designed for the cockpit
Clarity when it matters.
SkyeScope brings key traffic information into a dedicated display, with configurable visual and audio behaviour and a deliberate focus on usability.
Audio awareness
Configurable sound options for proximity, traffic advisories and warnings, with spoken relative-position announcements.
Threat-aware presentation
Visual emphasis and target information are designed to make relevant traffic easier to distinguish.
Purpose-built interface
A dedicated landscape 7-inch color display, consistent layout and touch-driven controls for a more focused experience.
Stratux connectivity
Connects to a compatible Stratux system and uses the data that system makes available. SkyeScope is independently developed.
Configurable settings
Preferences for units, sound and ownship information help tailor the display to the pilot's setup.
Simple by design
Works with the system you already use.
SkyeScope is designed to connect to a compatible Stratux system and present the data it supplies on a dedicated display. It is a companion interface, not a replacement for the underlying traffic receiver.
✓Connect — link to the compatible Stratux data connection.
✓Display — view traffic in a dedicated radar-style interface.
✓Configure — adjust supported display and sound preferences.

Hardware design
Designed for SkyeScope.
A closer look at the enclosure, from the landscape display and top-mounted control to the carefully considered side and rear details.
Front view
The large landscape display sits at the centre of the cockpit-focused design.
Isometric view
An angled look at the enclosure, including the rear panel, ventilation, RAM Mount and control layout.
Right-angle view
The display and side connections remain accessible within the compact enclosure.
Project approach
Built carefully, tested on real hardware.
SkyeScope is being developed iteratively, with attention to interface details, hardware integration, recovery behaviour and a clear separation between useful awareness and certified aviation equipment.
Prototype
Develop the display, traffic rendering, controls and audio features on the target embedded platform.
Integrate
Connect the display to compatible Stratux data and validate the experience across normal and failure conditions.
Refine
Improve readability, configuration and interaction through real-hardware testing and incremental changes.
Important information
Awareness aid. Not a safety guarantee.
SkyeScope is intended to supplement — never replace — established aviation practices.
⚠
Always fly the aircraft, not the display.
SkyeScope is an independent, experimental advisory display. It is not certified avionics and is not approved as the sole means of traffic detection, navigation or collision avoidance. Traffic data may be missing, delayed, inaccurate or unavailable, and alerts may not occur. Maintain an effective visual lookout, follow ATC instructions and applicable procedures, and rely on approved equipment and your own judgement. Never interact with the display in a way that distracts from safe aircraft operation.
SkyeScope is not commercially affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially supported by the Stratux project or its maintainers. It connects to a compatible Stratux system and uses the data that system supplies; it does not independently verify that data.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
A quick introduction to what SkyeScope is — and what it isn't.
Is SkyeScope a Stratux product?
No. SkyeScope is an independent project. It connects to a compatible Stratux system and uses the data provided by that system. SkyeScope is not commercially affiliated with or officially endorsed by Stratux.
Does SkyeScope replace my existing avionics or visual lookout?
No. SkyeScope is an advisory traffic display only. It must not replace visual lookout, ATC instructions, approved avionics, flight planning or pilot judgement.
Does SkyeScope guarantee that all nearby traffic will be shown?
No. SkyeScope depends on data made available by the connected system. Traffic may not be detected or reported by Stratux, and data can be delayed, incomplete or unavailable.
Is SkyeScope commercially available?
This website is currently an informational concept for the project. Availability, distribution terms and support arrangements have not yet been decided or announced.
Can I use the website to connect to my device?
No. This is a static demonstration website. The radar graphics and example values are illustrative and are not connected to a live receiver or aircraft.
