In many situations typical IPAQ displays are not easily readable in the cockpit. If you have a collision alarm and spend time looking down at a tired old display, you're defeating the purpose of a collision avoidance system. ClearNav, Ultimate and Altair will provide bright, readable displays. Some others too (Samsung Galaxy Tab, Iphone, etc). Besides a bright display, I believe the Butterfly remote will be required for audio volume control. Jim Thanks to all posters so far. As I thought about this issue myself overnight, I came to the conclusion that I will need to have the Butterfly display in a prominent and visible location in/on my panel, regardless of whether or not I decide to integrate PF output into one or both of my nav instruments. For instance, I know that ClearNav has a 3-second update loop, which means that it could be as much as 3 seconds between the time that PF issues a collision alert and the time that ClearNav displays the corresponding FLARM hits. 3 seconds at maybe 200-300 fps closure - ouch! This is all independent of the fact that the Butterfly display is optimized for conflict resolution, and nav systems aren't. Oh well, back to figuring out where I'm going to put the Butterfly display! ;-). TA |
