About this app

Gyro Attitude Indicator and other key flight instruments on your Android.

Key features:
-Gyro Attitude Indicator, with auto-calibration and auto-leveling. Indicator shows extreme attitude chevrons to guide you back to a safety if you find yourself in an unusual attitude
-"Glass cockpit" Primary Flight Display using digital tapes for Speed, Altitude, Heading, Vertical Speed and Rate of Turn
-Position relative to nearest airport in plain English (convenient for ATC position reports), with a global database of 23,000 airports, including tower frequencies
-Fully configurable display
-Choice of imperial or metric units

Provides pilots with a backup for their artificial horizon, airspeed indicator, altimeter and compass on a modern PFD.

Continuous Adaptive Auto-Calibration adjusts the gyro for sensor drift as a result of temperature, engine vibration and sensor errors.

For correct indication, the device needs to be placed vertical, with the screen facing straight back. Level the attitude indicator by tapping the center at any time.

NOTES:
Sensors are optimized for use in flight, and will show dip and bank at slow speeds (eg in a car).

Upon start-up, the tapes may show red X marks to indicate that no reliable GPS signal is available. Once a reliable GPS signal has been captured, speed and altitude tapes will show. The heading tape will show once moving at a speed of greater than 10 kts. A reliable GPS signal may not be possible indoors.

Air data is derived from GPS, and therefore only an approximation of actual air speed, altitude and heading and attitude. Do not use for primary navigation or attitude reference. You assume total responsibility and risk associated with this application.

Most devices have accelerometer sensors, but this is not the same as gyro sensors. Gyro attitude is only possible with gyro sensors, so please check your device documentation to confirm you have gyro sensors.
