SkyLink ATC & Cabin Crew For X-Plane

TURN EVERY X-PLANE FLIGHT INTO A FULL AIRLINE OPERATION

Hear realistic ATC, bring the cabin to life and experience a complete airline journey from boarding to arrival.

SkyLink ATC & Cabin Crew combines voice-driven ATC, realistic Cabin Crew, pilot-controlled ground operations, an intelligent co-pilot, live moving maps and phone or tablet control in one redesigned Windows application for X-Plane 11 and 12.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE • LIFETIME ACCESS • NO SUBSCRIPTION

A COMPLETELY REDESIGNED EXPERIENCE

The new blue flight-deck interface gives Operations, Communications, Flight Plan, Cabin Crew, Co-pilot, Ground Operations, VATSIM, Phone / Tablet, Settings and Diagnostics their own clear pages.

SkyLink stays above X-Plane while you fly and moves away only when minimised. Start Flight takes you directly to Communications, while the redesigned ATC and Cabin Crew pop-outs remain optional.

REALISTIC VOICE-DRIVEN ATC

Speak naturally to virtual controllers using your microphone or configured push-to-talk button.

SkyLink follows your flight from clearance and pushback through taxi, departure, cruise, descent, approach and arrival.

Features include:

• Realistic clearances, readbacks and handoffs
• Callsign and flight-plan awareness
• SimBrief route support
• Weather, METAR and ATIS context where available
• Flight-phase-aware radio flow
• Separate ATC Radio and Co-pilot channels
• Optional focused ATC pop-out

Protected communication channels help prevent a co-pilot or cabin request from accidentally reaching ATC.

YOUR OWN INTELLIGENT CO-PILOT

Choose a male or female co-pilot, give them a name and speak naturally.

Ask your co-pilot to take over ATC and they can follow the expected radio sequence, including requesting clearance, push and start, taxi, takeoff, departure, arrival and taxi to stand when your flight is ready.

You can also request a real briefing based on your loaded flight plan or run aircraft-appropriate spoken checklists.

Say “check” to continue, ask your co-pilot to repeat an item or stop the checklist at any time.

Co-pilot voices are separate from ATC and Cabin Crew, with worldwide regional voice selection designed to better match the airline you are flying.

PILOT-CONTROLLED GROUND OPERATIONS

Control boarding and ground preparation directly through SkyLink.

Start boarding when your aircraft is ready, monitor passenger progress and keep Cabin Crew announcements connected to the real progress of your operation.

The welcome announcement waits until boarding genuinely begins, while pilot-controlled ground functions allow Cabin Crew to continue working even without additional third-party ground-service software.

REALISTIC CABIN CREW FROM GATE TO GATE

Cabin announcements follow the real progress of your flight:

• Pilot-controlled boarding
• Welcome aboard and safety announcements
• Takeoff preparation near the departure runway
• Seatbelt announcements based on the actual flight stage
• Cruise, turbulence and food or drink service
• Descent and landing preparation
• Arrival and deboarding flow
• Boarding music and realistic PA-style audio
• Intelligent timing around ATC

Announcements happen when they make operational sense, not simply because a timer expired or a door opened.

LIVE MOVING MAP, NO API KEY REQUIRED

Follow your complete flight plan without creating a separate map account or entering tile keys.

See:

• Your full magenta route and every waypoint
• Live aircraft position and movement
• Pan, zoom and follow controls
• Altitude, airspeed and ground speed
• Distance to destination
• Estimated distance to top of descent

The live map is available in both the Windows application and the companion experience.

PAIR A PHONE OR TABLET IN SECONDS

• ATC Communications

• Live map and flight telemetry
• Cabin Crew controls

VATSIM COVERAGE HANDOFF

Enjoy SkyLink’s virtual ATC, then switch when your flight approaches staffed VATSIM airspace.

SkyLink can alert you when VATSIM coverage is available. If you accept, SkyLink ATC pauses and the official VATSIM sign-in page opens.

A VATSIM account and compatible X-Plane pilot client are required.

AIRBORNE EMERGENCY SUPPORT

SkyLink can detect supported in-flight emergencies and display a clear red alert identifying the problem and the appropriate controller to contact.

It can locate a nearby suitable airport and present a guarded GO DIRECT TO option where supported.

Emergency monitoring is limited to airborne events to reduce false alerts during aircraft and ground setup.

DESIGNED TO MAKE FLYING EASIER

SkyLink connects to X-Plane as soon as the application opens. You do not need to begin a flight before starting SkyLink.

Also included:

• SimBrief and Navigraph links inside SkyLink
• Operational Guide available directly from the sidebar
• Optional automatic update readiness when X-Plane starts
• PTT and audio setup guidance
• Clean shutdown when SkyLink closes
• Dedicated Help and Diagnostics page
