HolyMicro Announces Expansion of SkyVoice Alert with New 1000ft Range

HolyMicro, an aviation safety equipment manufacturer, has announced a major enhancement to its SkyVoice product line with the upcoming release of a new 1000ft range version of its popular SkyVoice Alert system. Building on the proven capabilities of the SkyVoice Alert 500, the extended-range version is designed to deliver heightened situational awareness for general aviation pilots during critical takeoff and landing operations.

The current SkyVoice Alert 500 utilizes a 590ft range LiDAR to precisely measure Above Ground Level (AGL) and during takeoff and landing operations. This system provides crucial “Check Gear” warnings from 560ft AGL until the landing gear is down and locked. It featured proximity-based gear warning system. Pilots can customize audio announcements at various AGL altitudes, including 500, 400, 300, 200, and 100 feet, with the option to include personalized reminders. For a smooth and safe touchdown, additional precise callouts are available at 70, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, 2, and 1 AGL.

The SkyVoice Alert 500 offers a comprehensive suite of customizable reminders, including: : Checklist, Check gear, Clearance, Flaps, LC GUMPS, Prop, Pump, Speed, Check FF RPM OP MP, Check Fuel Flow and Check Power. It also gives elapsed-time based reminders like Check Tank, Check Fuel, Check Carb Heat and Check FF RPM OP MP.

All of HolyMicro’s aviation safety products—including the SkyVoice Alert, the SkyVoice Glassy Guide for seaplanes, and the Absolute AoA System—are FAA-approved under the NORSEE (Non-Required Safety Enhancing Equipment) program, making them eligible for use in a wide range of general aviation aircraft without complex certification hurdles.

The SkyVoice Glassy Guide 400 is a RADAR-based Takeoff and Landing Height Announcer specifically designed for seaplanes and amphibious aircraft, delivering accurate AGL readings over both water and land. It provides a RADAR range of 450 feet and includes up to 4 gear reminders. The system offers the same customizable voice announcements and reminder features as the SkyVoice Alert 500. Portable version is also available—it connects via Bluetooth, runs on a rechargeable battery, and has the same internal hardware as the certified unit. It’s easy to test in different locations before doing a permanent install.

The Absolute AoA System In response to the FAA’s SAIB: 2024-07, this NewGen solution provides accurate Angle of Attack (AoA) for all phases of flight. Unlike traditional single-sensor differential pressure systems limited to near-stall warnings, the Absolute AoA System delivers reliable AoA information for climbing, cruising, and landing, unaffected by density altitude or weight/loading. It enables pilots to fly for all V speeds, including Best Glide (Vl/dmax) and Carson Cruise (Vcc).
