A few things to know
Before you
look up.
Skykin is a product in development. Here’s what that means for the preview and the experience.
Generated campaign imagery. Jane, her family and the flight data are illustrative; the display is a product visualisation.
Is this showing real flights right now?
No. Every flight and person on this website is an illustrative example. The existing private companion preview is linked separately and requires sign-in. Aircraft positions depend on data coverage and availability, and some routes or identifiers may be missing.
Can I follow a friend’s holiday flight?
That is one of Skykin’s core uses: connect with someone who chooses to share a flight plan, or save a flight yourself. The display follows the associated aircraft journey when a matching position is available; it cannot confirm a person’s boarding or arrival.
How does following a pilot work?
Pilots can add upcoming flying plans and share them with their followers. A shared aircraft registration can support training flights, while flight identifiers support airline journeys. A pilot decides which plans to share.
What appears before and after a shared flight?
For 20 minutes before the saved departure time, the display shows a preparing-for-takeoff message with planned timing. For 20 minutes after the saved arrival time, the display can show an estimated landing message. It is clearly marked “Estimated” and does not confirm an actual landing. A fresh position showing the aircraft still airborne takes priority; the message follows the saved plan when that position is unavailable.
Where do I manage my display and account?
The companion service stays on marty0.com, where existing preview accounts manage display settings, connections and shared flights. The current companion preview is private and requires sign-in. Customer setup will open with the product.
Does the pointer show which way the plane is flying?
After you set the window view, the arrow points towards the reported aircraft position relative to that view. You can reset it whenever you move the display. It appears for fresh aircraft within the chosen nearby radius and indicates horizontal direction.
Are the arrival and departure timers live?
Timers based on a saved itinerary are explicitly labelled “planned”. They do not establish an actual takeoff time, landing time or live estimated arrival. Speed and altitude come from the aircraft position record when available.
Can I buy the integrated display?
It is not on sale yet. Hardware selection, qualification and customer setup are still being developed. Pricing, availability and any subscription options will be confirmed before orders open.
Do I need to download a mobile app?
The current private companion preview is a web app for existing preview accounts. Final customer setup and any download options will be confirmed before launch.
