| Subject: | Re: iPad and Skycharts Pro - more impressions |
Just flew another approach starting from 3k, leveling to 2k and down to min. And
up to published missed approach.
At my zoom level which is larger than the IFR charts, the reference plane seemed
very accurate in relation to my position though out the entire flight. I zoomed
in to an extreme level and compared my flight path to an intersection while
passing by on my way to my home airport and found perhaps .2 mile discrepancy.
I think that this is to be expected since the charts are scanned and stitched
together and t he edges do not match perfectly.
Just for kicks, I shut down the iPad, restarted it and entered the program while
in flight. It took perhaps a min. and the program found it's position. The reference
plane turned orange, pulsated and turned black once it found it's position.
I am so far very pleased with this set up and am sure that there are other useful
set ups such as the voyager. Hopefully we can get a Voyager flight test report
and compare.
More reports to come.

Just a quick question, If you are watching your IPAD during the approach wh
o"s- watching the instruments? And doing the approach? Down to minimuns?
I would think this would come under reckless operations. Although come to t
hink about it, my approachs are always reckless.

Just flew another approach starting from 3k, leveling to 2k and down to min
. And up to published missed approach.-
At my zoom level which is larger than the IFR charts, the reference plane s
eemed very accurate in relation to my position though out the entire flight
. I zoomed in to an extreme level and compared my flight path to an interse
ction while passing by on my way to my home airport and found perhaps .2 mi
le discrepancy. I think that this is to be expected since the charts are sc
anned and stitched together and t he edges do not match perfectly.
Just for kicks, I shut down the iPad, restarted it and entered the program
while in flight. It took perhaps a min. and the program found it's position
. The reference plane turned orange, pulsated and turned black once it foun
d it's position.
I am so far very pleased with this set up and am sure that there are other
useful set ups such as the voyager.- Hopefully we can get a Voyager fligh

Dave,
I think this is probably what is happening, a combination of not enough glass close
to the tape, too wide of a resin bridge, and resin left on the tape. So
I'll redo & leave a smaller gap, use polyfiber to feather in to the tape, then
sand the electrical tape to remove any film that may pull. I'm assuming two
layers of glass would be sufficient.
