If a device could produce the following would you like to see it all in Skydemon at the same time? 

  • GPS Location
  • Traffic:
    • P3I: from PilotAware equipped aircraft.
    • ADS-B: from an ADS-B Out transponder
    • Mode-C: from a Mode C transponder
    • Mode-S: from a Mode S transponder
    • FLARM*: From a FLARM transceiver*When in range of an OGN-R transceiver
  • Weather:
    • Radar Weather (cloud and rainfall)
    • METARs
    • TAFs

And can do the following in an companion App on the same tablet

  • Weather:
    • Other data such as Lighetning, Infrared
  • Communications:
    • Onboard SMS and Email

Mario, just to clarify, are you proposing to bring the device in your original post to market?

Yes. 

At the moment I am looking at EFBs which can support concurrent display of all the features and one area of issue is that even if you have separate boxes e.g. SkyEcho or PaW for Traffic and ADL for Weather, you can't display both on the same instance of SD without compromise*. That's a separate feature request i've raised on the this forum

However notwithstanding that, the proposed device would still work with other apps e.g. ForeFlight etc, but having SD full supported would be awesome, hence trying to understand if folks would like to see such a feature supported by SD

P.s. I've messaged Hannah direct (email) on the subject too

*Eg GDL doesnt support bearing-less, you'd have to drop all that data. You cant get SD to accept both Flarm and GDL concurrently, which would be one potential work around

As you are obviously a commercial vendor doing market research, I assume you are aware of the physics of your request. Accepting two different sources both containing GPS location data, you have to find a way to calculate both input devices data separately. I guess Skydemon would have to run two instances, but the trouble starts when you combine the data - which is the correct one?

Hi - just a hobbiest I assure you! PaW, ADL and SD all were grass routes startups too

We've agreed a way forwards where the ownship data is sourced from one place - SD doesn't need to de-dupe
