Flight Plan Equipment Codes

I've finally got round to looking at SkyDemon (I wasn't in a rush because I've been using NavBox ProPlan for years and know how to drive it). Thus far, I'm very impressed.



I looked at the Flight Plan submission module - which I probably wouldn't use, since I do my own with AFPEx - and noticed that it had indigestion with the equipment of the Arrow I fly. That has full airways kit including VOR, ILS, DME, ADF, Markers, GPS with BRNAV certification, 8.33kHz VHF/RT, and Mode S with basic surveillance.



I think the correct coding for that is SDGRY/S but SkyDemon came up with a much longer string, identifying each item separately rather than using the "S" for "Standard". It didn't do the BRNAV or 8.33kHz.



Not that I mind, and not that it's likely to matter for many users, but for the sake of completeness...



Now back to learning how SkyDemon works.

You're right, SkyDemon currently only replaces the FLOV with S under certain conditions. We'll make it a little more clever in the next release, though either way should be valid.
