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:

Thank you for looking into the issue. In case you come up with a solution related to the aircraft type: Please note that helicopter block time counts as soon as the rotors are turning. For most types they start turning as soon as the first engine is started. So no need for us to log engine start separately. Only piston helicopters and old single-shaft turbines have a clutch but I don't think they log engine time separately.

In my eyes the best solution would be for aircraft type helicopter to have in Go Flying Mode manual log buttons for Off Block and Takeoff, then Landing and On Blocks.

I can't speak for the regular A to B operation but for our work it would be best to have everything between Takeoff and Landing being logged as one continuous flight without automatic landing detected in between and fully manual map zoom.
