Winpilot for contest use?
Hi Frank,
I'm replying without reading any of the responses I see, so I'm prolly
not giving you much new here.
When I got into contest flying a few years ago I spent a lot of time
evaluating PDA software. I bought licenses to WinPilot Pro and SeeYou
Mobile and I like them both. I currently use WinPilot Pro but I keep my
SeeYou Mobile version up to date and use it occasionally.
If you have a 302 and choose to use WinPilot, you should absolutely
spend the few extra bucks to get the Pro version, which uses the
airspeed and vario data from the 302.
The only real gripe I have about WinPilot is that it occasionally
crashes in flight. (I've learned to expect this on MATs when I'm moving
the mobile turnpoint.) Another thing I'd like them to fix is that if I
have to restart the software in flight, I want the current task
information back (current task leg, task speed, leg speed, etc). These
are annoying "features" but I still like the software.
