It sure would be nice to have an IPAD app to keep track of glider
times on the flight line. Maybe a clock at the top with the ability
to log launch and landing times for multiple gliders and pilots
simultaneously while showing elapsed time in the air for each flight
etc.... Sure would beat our clip board method. Especially if you
could download and print daily reports. Any one willing to take up
the challenge? I have never designed an app but it looks like it
would be fun and fairly simple.

I could write this... been writing iPhone apps for the past couple of
years. Only problem for me is that my iPad is just too big for the
cockpit. Could I write it as an iPhone app which runs on the iPad

I was thinking it would be an app for the glider ops team to use on
the ground. The purpose would be to keep track of the time aloft of
each glider/pilot combo and at the end of the day download to the club
computer for billing and permanent record purposes. I was thinking
the personnel would have a drop down menu allowing a choice of a
glider, then a drop down menu allowing a choice of a pilot, others for
the tow pilot and tow plane. Then you would click "takeoff" when they
land you would click "landed" and the app would compute an elapsed
time aloft and store the record. There should be a feature where up
to a dozen records could be running simultaneously for multiple
launches. It would be great if you could design such an app. One of
the SSA regional directors called me today and said that the SSA has
been trying to get someone to develop such an app but it has yet to
come to fruition. If you would like to bounce ideas around please
send me a pm and we can talk.

It would be really awesome for the app to interface with Quickbooks
using the QBooks SDK.
