Skysense AS
Flybox SkySense AS Anemometer & Altimeter
The SkySense AS combines two essential primary flight instruments—an anemometer and a precision altimeter—into a single, ultra-thin solid-state housing. Engineered for ultralight, microlight, and experimental aircraft, it features an anti-glare display, an expansive 280° peripheral smart scale, and integrated CAN-BUS communication for complete flight deck awareness.
Why Choose SkySense AS?
Precision air data delivery engineered specifically for modern sport and ultralight cockpits:
Full Customisation
User-configurable scales and selectable units of measurement allow you to tailor the instrument to your exact aircraft POH and operational preferences. Custom airspeed colour arcs reflect your airframe's exact operating thresholds.
True Airspeed (TAS) Calculation
In addition to indicated airspeed (IAS), SkySense AS calculates and displays real-time True Airspeed (TAS) when combined with an outside air temperature probe, providing vital data for precise cross-country navigation.
CAN-BUS System Integration
Equipped with onboard CAN-BUS communication lines on the rear chassis, allowing clean digital integration with other aircraft avionics modules without tangled analogue sensor looms.
All-Condition Sunlight Readability
An anti-glare TFT display paired with an integrated ambient light sensor (ALS) and intelligent auto-dimming ensures perfect, non-dazzling contrast from bright overhead midday sun down to twilight flight.
Comprehensive On-Screen Telemetry
- Indicated Airspeed (IAS): Digital readout with colour-coded operating arcs on the 280° smart scale.
- True Airspeed (TAS): Calculated flight speed relative to the airmass (requires optional OAT probe).
- Altimeter (ALT): Configurable as a digital drum counter or vertical moving tape with adjustable barometric QNH/QFE reference.
- Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI): Real-time climb and descent rates displayed in feet per minute or metres per second.
- Outside Air Temperature (OAT): Live temperature monitoring displayed directly on the primary scan face.
Included In The Package
- Flybox SkySense AS Instrument (AS57 or AS80 based on model selected)
- Pre-Assembled Power Wiring Loom with click-lock connector
- USB Extender Cable for convenient panel routing
- Flybox USB Flash Drive for software updates and configuration backups
