Any IPAD App designers out there?
It sure would be nice to have an IPAD app to keep track of glider
times on the flight line. Maybe a clock at the top with the ability to log launch and landing times for multiple gliders and pilots simultaneously while showing elapsed time in the air for each flight etc.... Sure would beat our clip board method. Especially if you could download and print daily reports. Any one willing to take up the challenge? I have never designed an app but it looks like it would be fun and fairly simple. |

Could I write it as an iPhone app which runs on the iPad |

Could I write it as an iPhone app which runs on the iPad I was thinking it would be an app for the glider ops team to use on the ground. The purpose would be to keep track of the time aloft of each glider/pilot combo and at the end of the day download to the club computer for billing and permanent record purposes. I was thinking the personnel would have a drop down menu allowing a choice of a glider, then a drop down menu allowing a choice of a pilot, others for the tow pilot and tow plane. Then you would click "takeoff" when they land you would click "landed" and the app would compute an elapsed time aloft and store the record. There should be a feature where up to a dozen records could be running simultaneously for multiple launches. It would be great if you could design such an app. One of the SSA regional directors called me today and said that the SSA has been trying to get someone to develop such an app but it has yet to come to fruition. If you would like to bounce ideas around please send me a pm and we can talk. Lane |

XCSoar will have that based on FLARM: at my airfield, we have built a FLARM ground station with a PDA running XCSoar; it helps flight instructors with supervising solo flights. We're planning to add takeoff/landing detection for nearby traffic. XCSoar runs on Windows, Windows CE/Mobile, Mac OS X, Linux and Android, but not iOS (iPad, iPhone). Max |

One of the members of my club wrote just such an application for us,
and it's been working great for the last two years. There's a drop down list for members, plane, and tow pilot, and when the plane takes off you simply push a big green button. When it lands you push a big red button, and the flight time is filled in. The pilot uses a drop down list after he lands to inform the system of his tow altitude. The data feeds into our billing system, so there's no more need to decipher illegible scrawls on paper logs. The only thing that doesn't meet your request is that this application runs under Windows. I've alerted the author to this thread, and he may chime in. -John |

I run a software development firm which specializes in simulation, development, integration and full lifecycle maintenance of mobile and tablet bases apps. We have nearly 100 clients ranging from Fandango to very small start ups and high school projects (most are larger corporations, etc). Would not be "free" but could work with you. Im a fellow glider pilot if course.
