About

Flight Display

Read full description

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).

About

Aviation SixPack

Features
Read full description

This is the standard Aviation Sixpack of the six most widely used instruments in general aviation. No Ads, No In-App purchases and No data is gathered by the developer. In addition to the six gauges, the app also shows the ground wind speed, the city and state location you are flying over, and the current GPS co-ordinates. Tapping the top BRT button toggles bright and dark display. The Airspeed indicator uses calculations between GPS ground speed, wind speed and direction, and compass direction to determine the airspeed near ground level where takeoff and landing take place. Tapping the Airspeed indicator toggles between MPH, Knots and KPH. Tapping the compass toggles between True North and Magnetic North and uses GPS for greater accuracy irrelevant of phone position, but only works when in steady motion. Tapping on the Turn and Bank gauge toggles between Horizontal and Vertical mounting of the device, and also adjusts the compass for same. The city and state of your current location is displayed so you know what is directly below you. The wind speed shows current wind speed at ground level as reported by the weather service in that location. GPS co-ordinates display your current location. PLEASE NOTE: Airspeed readings are approximate, because your device uses wind speed as reported by the weather service in a nearby location, not where you actually might be. NOT MADE TO BE USED FOR AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION, but it can provide some emergency data in the event of an aircraft panel failure.
