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
Wondering how AI is reshaping aviation? Tune in to our latest AI podcast for insights on emerging trends and technology in the field. Check out the conversation between our CEO & founder, Robert Schochmann, and Kamil Aujesky from ŽIJEME SCI-FI. The conversation is available in Slovak 🇸🇰 ➡️ Worth listening
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
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,
On 21 April 2026, Róbert Schochmann presented the AI Glass Cockpit at the Slovak Alliance for Innovation Economy SAPIE Forum & SME Expo, as part of the discussion The Space Mindset: Building Markets, Talent and Scale in the Global Innovation Economy. Building a next-generation cockpit is complex work that involves studying real-world
On April 17–18, AI & ROBOT EXPO brings the latest in AI, robotics, and innovation Robert Schochmann, CEO & Founder of Schochman Aviation � “Schochmann – Air Navigation” April 17 | 11:20 – 12:05 April 18 | 15:00 – 15:30 Discover how modern technology and AI are shaping aviation navigation
April 22–25, 2026, visit our stand A6-314, where you can experience our AI Glass Cockpit in action.
What does the future of aviation look like? One intriguing development is the rise of the AI cockpit in Slovakia. Robert Schochmann, CEO and Founder of Schochman Aviation, explored our technology and more in a conversation with Palo, Fero, and Filip on the Letecký podcast – Pozri ja už letím. The
Last weekend, Schochman participated in an event organised by the Slovak Aviation Federation (Slovenská letecká federácia), where we introduced our AI Glass Cockpit technology to members of the aviation community. To make the presentation more tangible, we flew in our “flying lab” equipped with the system. Seeing the technology installed
The European Innovation Council (EIC) supports only the top high-risk, high-impact innovations with the potential to transform entire industries. Each year, thousands of companies apply — but only a small percentage advance past the first stage. We are proud to announce that Schochman Aviation has achieved this milestone. Our AI-assisted
Modern drones, robotic autopilots, and advanced cockpit systems rely on an Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) to know their 3D orientation. An AHRS typically combines three sensors inside an IMU: a gyroscope, an accelerometer, and a magnetometer. Each sees the world differently: gyros sense rotation, accelerometers feel forces (including
At Schochman, we design advanced Embedded Systems that form the backbone of modern avionics. From fast microcontroller code to AI inference on NVIDIA Jetson, our mission is to make flying and robotics safer, smarter, and easier to use. Real-Time Control Aviation and robotics require reliable and precise platforms. Much of
At Schochman, we are building a next-generation cockpit engine for 3D Airspace visualization. Instead of a flat map with colors and lines, pilots will see airspaces as volumes — textured, layered, and real. Our synthetic vision technology renders terrain, aircraft position, and airspaces in three dimensions, all in real time.
In aviation, one simple rule holds true: the more information a pilot has, the better decisions they can make. Modern technology brings two powerful tools that are transforming the way we fly – ADSB and Synthetic Vision, both fully integrated into the Schochman AI Glass Cockpit. ADSB, or Automatic Dependent
Step into the cockpit of an older aircraft and you’ll be greeted by the classic “six-pack”: six round analog gauges, each faithfully showing one piece of information. Altitude here, speed there, heading in another corner—it works, but it requires constant scanning and focus. Modern cockpits look very different: large digital
From childhood I knew one thing – airplanes would always be part of my life. My passion for aviation technology was evident from the beginning. First small models, later at FEI STU in Bratislava I founded a student team for autonomous drones, where we worked with accelerometers, gyroscopes, and Kalman
Early Memories: Look, an Airplane! How a curious child grew up to design a new generation of avionics, shaping what we imagine as the future of avionics. From childhood dreams to next-gen avionics, my journey began when I first looked up at the sky and shouted to my mom:“Look, an
