This collaboration marks a major step forward in bringing intelligent, AI-assisted cockpit systems to the light sport aircraft (LSA) category. The integration will begin with real-world operational testing, followed by availability as an optional configuration for new aircraft deliveries.
At the core of the partnership is Schochman’s proprietary avionics system, designed to fundamentally transform pilot interaction, situational awareness, and in-flight decision-making.
Unlike conventional cockpit systems, the Schochman platform introduces a fully integrated digital copilot experience. Key capabilities include:
• Offline voice control and speech recognition, enabling natural interaction without reliance on connectivity
• Automated ATC communication analysis, translating and projecting relevant instructions directly onto cockpit displays
• Real-time weather visualization, including wind, cloud coverage, visibility, and hazard alerts
• AI-powered copilot assistance, providing continuous guidance, answering pilot queries, and enhancing situational awareness throughout the flight
Together, these features create a cockpit environment that actively supports the pilot rather than passively displays data.
By integrating Schochman avionics into the Viper SD4 and Skyper GT9, the partnership combines advanced aircraft design with cutting-edge digital intelligence. The Viper SD4 and Skyper GT9 have built a strong reputation as reliable, efficient, and high-quality aircraft in the light sport category, suitable for both private owners and commercial operators. Through this partnership, Schochman avionics introduce a new level of intelligence, safety, and overall pilot experience.
The collaboration also highlights the growing global relevance of Slovak aviation innovation. By joining forces, Schochman and TOMARK demonstrate that high-value aerospace technologies developed in Slovakia can compete on an international scale.
