Core offering

Schochman Aviation designs, manufactures, and sells the AI Glass Cockpit (AI-EFIS), the world's first AI-assisted glass cockpit for general aviation. The product is an integrated avionics system combining a primary display, AI computer, AHRS, datahub, EMS, ADS-B In, autopilot, and connectivity (Starlink/GSM) into one platform. It is sold as configurable _Minimal and _Full Sets and as individual avionics components directly to pilots, aircraft owners, and light sport aircraft manufacturers.

Product overview

Schochman Aviation is a deep-tech R&D company that designs and manufactures AI-assisted avionics systems for general aviation, drones, and robotics. Its core product is the Schochman AI Glass Cockpit (AI-EFIS) — the world's first AI-assisted glass cockpit for sport and experimental aircraft — which integrates voice control, ATC AI transcription, real-time weather, synthetic vision, 3D airspace maps, engine monitoring, ADS-B traffic awareness, interactive checklists, and a lifetime-licensed autopilot into a unified platform. The system is built around the Glass Cockpit Screen SD-10 (primary PFD display) paired with a 2nd Screen SD-10 (MFD), the AHRS Gyroscope (attitude sensing), Magnetic Compass (heading reference), AI Computer (voice/ATC AI processing on NVIDIA Jetson), Datahub (system interconnection), Engine Monitoring System (EMS), Flaps Controller, ADS-B In, and the Autopilot module. Connectivity is provided via Starlink Mini or GSM Module, with an Ethernet Switch distributing network across the aircraft. The _Full Set bundle packages all components starting at €5,364. The company also operates flying labs using customized Dova Skylark DV-1 aircraft and maintains related product lines in robotics (Trainshot smart target systems, Drone n Base gaming drones) developed by its parent company Trainshot s.r.o.

• GSM Module

Quantifiable outcome

• Readback/hearback errors occur at approximately 1 per hour per ATC frequency (Prinzo 1998 study of 386 ASRS reports), and communication accuracy drops significantly with 4+ pieces of information per transmission (Molesworth 2015, Safety Science). AI transcription and structured extraction addresses this directly.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights7 records

Emerging players

• Merlin Labs: Merlin Labs develops autonomy software for general aviation aircraft, including autopilot and perception layers. It is comparable to Schochman in that both target general aviation with AI/autonomy stacks; differing in software-only vs. integrated hardware delivery, and Schochman's targeted fully autonomous flight by mid-2027 directly overlaps Merlin's roadmap.
• MGL Avionics: MGL Avionics makes EFIS displays, AHRS, and servos primarily for the experimental and LSA market. Schochman already uses MGL servos natively over CAN-BUS, signalling both technology supply relationship and direct competition in the same DIY/homebuilt pilot base.
• ForeFlight (Garmin): ForeFlight is the dominant EFB/flight-planning app that pilots rely on alongside traditional avionics. Schochman's AI cockpit effectively absorbs many ForeFlight-style functions (weather, NOTAM, route planning) into the cockpit, so ForeFlight is both an indirect competitor and a candidate for displacement or partnership.

Broad incumbents

• BendixKing (Honeywell): BendixKing, part of Honeywell, supplies AeroVue and KMD-series glass cockpits plus legacy avionics for certified GA. It represents the larger, certified-aviation incumbent that Schochman's DO-178C DAL B/FAA certification push is squarely aimed at displacing in retrofit and OEM slots.
• Garmin (Aviation): Garmin is the dominant general-aviation avionics incumbent with G3X Touch and G1000 glass cockpits and the ForeFlight ecosystem. It overlaps directly with Schochman across PFD/MFD displays, autopilot, ADS-B, and engine monitoring, and Schochman even uses Garmin avionics in its Dova Skylark flying labs. Garmin is the most consequential competitor and benchmark.

Direct peers

• Avidyne: Avidyne makes IFD-series navigators and Entegra glass cockpits for general aviation aircraft. It competes directly with Schochman for retrofit and OEM avionics slots in GA/light aircraft and is a credible alternative when pilots evaluate modern glass cockpit packages.
• uAvionix: uAvionix designs ADS-B transceivers/receivers, transponders, and avionics networking for GA and UAS markets. Overlap with Schochman's ADS-B In module and skyBeacon-style integrated avionics, with similar developer-driven culture and adoption among experimental/LSA pilots.
• Aspen Avionics: Aspen builds Evolution glass cockpit displays for retrofit into certified GA aircraft. Its focus on cost-effective glass cockpit upgrades to replace legacy six-packs closely mirrors Schochman's positioning around affordable AI-assisted replacements for the traditional six instruments.
• Genesys Aerosystems: Genesys Aerosystems (formerly Chelton/S-TEC) produces IDU-680 glass cockpit displays, autopilots, and safety systems for fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft. Comparable on autopilot and glass cockpit hardware, with broader certified-customer footprint that Schochman is targeting via DO-178C/DO-254 work.
• Dynon Avionics: Dynon is a leading provider of glass cockpit systems for LSA, experimental, and light sport aircraft, including SkyView HDX. Its target market (experimental, LSA, and retrofit GA) is essentially identical to Schochman's, making it the closest head-to-head competitor on display hardware, autopilot, and ADS-B modules.
