Can an aircraft fly a square using only voice commands? In the Schochman Square Challenge, we put the voice-controlled autopilot to a simple visual test. Instead of manually adjusting the heading or interacting with the avionics, the pilot commands the aircraft by voice. The aircraft is instructed to follow a

Flight planning often means switching between different apps, maps, weather services, and devices to build a complete picture of the flight. The Schochman AI Glass Cockpit brings this information into one integrated environment. The system works with navigation data, aviation maps, weather, airspace information, and other available flight data to

In-flight emergency situations can cause cognitive overload even in experienced pilots. At the same time, the pilot needs to maintain control of the aircraft, assess the situation, communicate with ATC, and configure several cockpit systems. This is where an intelligent cockpit can help. In the first episode of our Inside

If you’ve been following general aviation news lately, the idea of an AI copilot for small aircraft has probably crossed your radar. It sounds futuristic — maybe even a little unsettling. Does it mean the aircraft flies itself? Are we talking about replacing the pilot? Not quite. And the honest

Bratislava, August 4, 2026 — Robert Schochmann, Founder, Schochman Aviation On July 28, my colleague sat down at a laptop in our Bratislava office, connected to our test aircraft — the Schochman DV1 Skylark — and took control of it mid-flight. With a laptop, a joystick, and an internet connection

You’re climbing through 4,500 feet, managing your airspeed, scanning for traffic, and keeping an eye on a building cloud to the southwest. Then the radio crackles. ATC rattles off a clearance — a heading change, a new altitude, maybe a frequency handoff — and just like that, three things happened

For decades, general aviation pilots have managed a cockpit filled with disconnected instruments, radios, and navigation tools. In modern aviation, voice control in the cockpit is emerging as a major shift in how pilots interact with aircraft systems. Instead of relying only on buttons, knobs, and touchscreens, pilots can now

There’s a moment Robert Schochmann describes that most pilots understand in their gut. You’re alone in a small aircraft. The weather turns. Mobile data drops. You need a safer route — and all you have is a tablet bouncing in turbulence, three separate apps, and your own nerves. That moment

From early mornings to late evenings, our stand was constantly busy, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We came home tired, but very happy. That was an amazing time at AERO Friedrichshafen 2026. We received so much valuable feedback, and we want to sincerely thank everyone who stopped by
