warning

This device is not an approved or certified aviation instrument.

It must not be used as a primary source of navigation, attitude, airspeed, altitude, flight control, or aircraft performance information.
Use of this device does not replace any certified aircraft system or instrument.

Main Features:

  • Visualize internal FDR device timers values (Engine, Block and Air Time)
  • Check current FDR status:
    • GPS Status
    • LTE Status
    • Server Status
    • AHRS Status and Values
  • Simplified Radar view (similar to FLYsky Display) with data source being FlyData Server using SafeSky as data aggregator
  • Setup Pith/Roll Offsets
  • Setup QNH Reference Pressure
  • Virtual ILS indicator, runway configured automatically from server based on nearest airport
  • Allows receiving status message (messages need to be sent via FlyData platform)
  • View FFT Data in real time (FFT Data source available are acceleration/Vibration on Z Axis and based on device microphone "sound")
  • Visualization of messages sent to FDR device via FlyData platform
  • Visualization of alert messages generated by FDR device (At this moment, only alerts related to CO Sensor are shown)

Limitations​

warning

This display is not certified and is intended for supplemental and informational use only.
It must not be used as a primary source of navigation, flight guidance, or flight control information.

Data Accuracy and Availability​

The accuracy, integrity, and availability of information presented on this display are dependent on multiple external factors, including but not limited to:

  • Correct installation and placement of the GPS antenna
  • Correct installation, orientation, and placement of the FDR device
  • Proper electrical connection of the GPS antenna and associated cabling
  • Proper electrical connection of the FDR device power supply and associated cabling
  • Adequate GPS signal reception, which may be degraded or unavailable due to antenna placement, aircraft structure, interference, or environmental conditions
  • Reliable communication between the FDR device, this display, and any external communications server

Loss, degradation, delay, or corruption of data may occur at any time and without warning.

This display functions solely as a presentation interface and does not perform independent navigation or flight calculations.

warning

Radar and traffic indications are based on data received from the FDR device and external communications servers.

Targets may be missing, misidentified, delayed, or inaccurately positioned.
Do not maneuver the aircraft based solely on traffic or collision alerts shown on this display.

GPS and External Data Dependencies​

This display functions solely as a presentation interface and does not independently verify the accuracy or integrity of GPS, FDR, or externally provided data.

Incorrect installation, damaged wiring, intermittent connections, software faults, or loss of communication with the FDR device or data server may result in incomplete, misleading, delayed, or invalid information being displayed.

GPS antenna installation and FDR device installation and orientation are critical for AHRS data accuracy and for the information presented on this display.

The pilot must always cross-check information presented on this display against certified aircraft instruments and systems.

Operational Responsibility​

The pilot in command is solely responsible for determining the suitability of this system for any phase of flight and for maintaining situational awareness using approved and certified aircraft instrumentation.

Under no circumstances should decisions affecting the safe operation of the aircraft be based solely on information provided by this display.
