I think the ClearNav designers may have missed the mark a bit, I'm
trying to figure out why they made the thing so big. In flying with a PDA I have often wanted the screen to be brighter, but never bigger; the other option I would pay for is to have the PDA controls on the stick. I fly a DG and I think the DG panel is pretty standard across their line. A scale drawing can be downloaded from their site which I did, then I sized up to full scale and imported it into a CAD system. After drafting a ClearNav screen and the other instruments I was able to slide them around, trying to find a configuration that would work. In a DG panel I just couldn't get it to work. I think in the long run these devices need to be designed with at least one dimension (height or width) compatible with traditional gear (80mm!). I suspect that there was an available screen that was pressed into service and drove the size. |
