Skydemon seems to think I am still flying while having landed minutes ago. As long as I taxi in ~20+ knots or so it thinks I am airborne, hence the landing time is incorrect which is quite annoying when I am to write in my logbook.... Is there a way to control this setting?

If you are sitting stationary but your GPS is telling SkyDemon your speed is 26 knots, then your GPS is the problem.

SkyDemon has a pretty good‌‌ algorithm for determining when you have landed, but speed is part of that calculation. If you're doing 26 knots, that doesn't sound like a taxi.

This flightlog was actually recorded in a CRJ, and we did not always taxi at 26 kts, but nevertheless the recorded landing time and the actual landing time differed almost 10 mins. Would be nice to be able to control this otherwise very nice feature.
