The Flight Display provides you with main flight instruments in digital format. Your iPhone or Cellular iPad already has all required sensors inside – just install the app and it is ready for flight. The Flight Display’s fusion algorithms use internal device GNSS module and sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer) to calculate all parameters. NOTE: Device internal GNSS module does not provide required stability and precision? Just connect an external GNSS sensor (receiver) to your device and it is ready for more! The Flight Display app is simple and flexible, offering you to: - Create multiple profiles for different aircrafts or conditions. One profile – one unique set of settings; - Setup units and ranges of displayed parameters. Enable alarms for parameters and adjust alarm intervals; - Customize appearance of indicators; - Select portrait or landscape interface orientation; - Mount the device in any position inside the cabin – the app is smart enough to perform correct calculation of attitude and all other parameters even if the device axes are not aligned with the aircraft axes. Just run app’s built-in device orientation adjustment mode and fix the device in any convenient position. List of indicators: - Primary Display indicator; - Ground speed indicator; - Altitude indicator; - Heading indicator; - Turn coordinator/Turn indicator; - Chronometer (with multiple time display modes); - Flight info indicator; - GNSS info indicator; - Device status info indicator; - Destination point info indicator. Result fusion parameters / calculated parameters: - Heading (based on GNSS course/magnetic heading/true magnetic heading); - Ground speed; - Altitude; - Attitude angles (pitch and roll); - Coordinates; - Heading rate; - Flight parameters (time, passed distance, average speed, distance to start point); - Destination point parameters (distance, azimuth, course, reach time).
