Why SkyVoice Alert LiDAR Altimeter
Published statistics reports that the "Approach and landing is the highest risk phase of flight, accounting for over 50 percent of all accidents at every level of aviation." At this phase, pilots need to have their best judgment on airspeed, distance and depth/height.
Holy Micro! LLC’s SkyVoice Alert is the only Take-off and Landing Height Announcer having a LiDAR range of 590 feet with repeated Gear warnings from 560 feet that announces the heights through the aircraft's Audio panel or pilots' headset (Wired or Bluetooth) when the LiDAR (Laser) measures a set of predefined altitudes. This assists pilots to gain better depth perception, and make necessary adjustments for a safer approach and touchdown. Use of the SkyVoice Alert can reduce the chance of a High Final Approach, Low Final Approach, High Round Out (High Flare), Hard Landing, Late or Rapid Round Out, Floating or Ballooning during Round Out, Bouncing during Touchdown, and Porpoising. Most importantly, it helps pilots confirm or correct their perceived depth (height above ground) by comparing it to the actual depth announcement from the device. It augments pilot's spatial orientation by adding another dimension - depth - through audio announcement.
In short, SkyVoice Alert is a co-pilot with bird’s eyes for safer flying.
