Hi Tim,

We are doing aerial work with helicopters which involves a lot of really low and slow flying, including sometimes extended stationary hovering in only a few meters height. Theoretically skydemon would be an ideal tool for us. I can import complex routes including several hundred waypoints (eg. overhead transmission line towers) and skydemon performs perfectly and rock solid on IOS.

However, the automatic landing detection creates two major issues for us:

1. Every time a landing is falsely detected, the map zoom jumps back to the specified default zoom level.

2. The logs are seperated into several fragments with sometimes long gaps in between.

Is there any way to completely disable the automatic On Block logging? We only need pure manual logging.

For our use case skydemon would be an absolutely superior tool if we could solve this one issue.

I believe this would also solve the issues of the aerobatic guys:

I did some testing today. Logging both Engine Start as well as Off Blocks, I do actually get one continuous trajectory. That is a big step forward and was probably my biggest concern.

However, skydemon still logs imaginary landings. Every time the zoom reverts to the default value, that is now my main concern.

Also (slightly less important for me personally but still a bit of a pity) the post-flight pilot log lists a bunch of very shorts flights between 1 and 5 minutes with large gaps in between. For one flight of 1:47 skydemon gave me a total of 30 minutes of actual flight time of which 15 mins was straight and level transit at the end.

Please note that skydemon logs a landing even though the trajectory is still well above ground level. Most of that track is somewhere around 100ft AGL. Also note large gaps between detected landing and takeoff.
