Does anyone have SUA and turning point files for the Southern Alps
(Sisteron) which will work with GNII? I would be very grateful for a copy! Tony Parker |

Hi Tony,
I found it easier to use SeeYou Mobile when flying at St. Auban. All of europe is in their data base and all of the turnpoints and geographic features are easy to edit. I use a PDA on a kneeboard. Requires an extra battery by Cumulus Soaring has all that stuff. Guy |

For goodness sakes, Peter. What is the difference between staring at
a PDA mounted on your panel, a flexable arm, or a kneeboard? For that matter, my worst experiences are pilots (including myself) who are trying to fold, unfold, refold, read, interpret, and otherwise use a paper map in a glider cockpit. Your point of keeping your attention outside the cockpit is well taken. My point is that it is not where the device is...it is how the pilot uses it. Especially in the southern Alps!!!!! An american pilot will be overwhelmed by the density of traffic, the pure number of gliders flying in such a small area. Having said all that...I believe a pilot with a flying map on a PDA is a lower risk than a pilot trying to manage a paper map. Providing, of course, that the pilot has spent the time before the flight learning how to use the darn thing and has completed all the programing ON THE GROUND before the flight. Guy |
