Electronic review of flight?
With all of the new EFIS(Electronic flight Instrumentation Systems), has
anyone seen one that stores the flight path for replay? It looks like all of the information is there, and this would be a tremendous help in instrument instructing, or even "pattern review". If downloaded to a simulator on a pc, this would be a good help answer post flight review questions. Al CFIAMI |

You have to have filed an IFR flight plan, but...

Here's the link to the animation of the Nike plane with the landing
gear problem, landing at Hillsboro, OR http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N225GV It was a long day, with lots of holds! Best Regards, Todd |

Al CFIAMI My ancient Garmin 195 will record the flight track and allow it it be downloaded to a PC. I assume most more recent handheld GPS units can as well. One of those features that you can get on a handheld, but can't get in any panel mount, IFR certified GPS units. Unfortunately, my 195 will only record horizontal information. Don't know if newer handhelds might record altitude information. -- Frank Stutzman Bonanza N494B "Hula Girl" Hood River, OR |

Records tracks, including speed and altitude. At least the data is in the track file. Their display is basically just the route as a static trail of bread crumbs, at least in the current release. Possibly they plan to do more with it in the future.

It just showed the position on a moving sectional image and printed the speed, etc. but I can certainly see how it would be useful. It should be fairly simple to feed GPS data ingo FlightGear. I'll be surprised if someone hasn't done it already but I don't recall hearing of it. --kyler |

It takes as input a (manually) geo-referenced .jpg of a map and a text file of raw NMEA data from my GPS. I could spend a little time cleaning it up for public consumption if there's interest. -R |

GPS would be great, but how about attitude info? If I can replay a students
instrument approach, I can point out how the a/c attitude and heading wandered all over the place, followed by altitude & heading. I picture a flight sim reflying the lesson. I don't know if any of the current systems offer a USB port or SD card slot for output. It would seem an easy thing to sample the GPS/Airdata/Ratedata every couple of ms and put it out to a card/port. By the way Kyler, I have for several years enjoyed your sectionals.

There is a lot you can do with the data from a GPS, especially if you're just trying to play back an instrument approach. The attitude can be estimated fairly well from GPS data unless you're doing loops on the localizer. I don't know if any of the current systems offer a USB port or SD card slot for output. It would seem an easy thing to sample the GPS/Airdata/Ratedata every couple of ms and put it out to a card/port. I'm more of a build-it-myself (instead of wait-for-some-manufacturer-to- want-to-do-it) kind of guy. I use a Garmin module with an RS-232 output. I also have a Bluetooth GPS. Either could easily go to something like my Gumstix http://www.gumstix.com/products.html which could capture the data to an SD. (I originally bought the Gumstix to capture cockpit audio for my wife's research project. 'twould be fun to hook it up to record from the intercom for your application too.) By the way Kyler, I have for several years enjoyed your sectionals. I appreciate hearing that. I should be resuming the updates soon. It took awhile of subscription lapse to learn that people (besides simulator guys) were using them and I'm working with a sponsor to resubscribe. --kyler |
