Seriously, this is exactly what I'm planning to do (buying the

Powerflarm, not the "running out of fuel" part).



On the North cape trip I saw some other pilots using an iPad mini with

SkyDemon, and I liked it so much that I also bought an iPad and SkyDemon

subscription.

With no Apple experience I made the mistake to buy the "wifi-only" iPad

model, assuming that I could use some remote bluetooth GPS antenna, or

even the GPS inside my Android phone as a starter, later to find out

that Apple simply sabotaged the possibility to use a generic external GPS.



At the same time I had PowerFlarm high on my wish list. I already have a

transponder-detector but I regularly fly in the Alps where there are

many gliders and no radar coverage. And Powerflarm detects everything,

mode-C, mode-S, ADS-B and Flarm. So I was very pleased to receive a new

version of SkyDemon with Powerflarm support built in.

It seems to support input with the Butterfly connect device, which

communicates between the Powerflarm and Ipad via wifi.



To avoid another buying mistake, I would like to hear if people have

experience with such a combination.

My intention is to buy the Garrecht TRX-1500, the Butterfly connect, and

have the information om my audio interface and Ipad running SkyDemon. If

this works well I don't need to have a dedicated powerflarm(-alike)

display in my panel. And I don't need yet another GPS-antenna just for

the iPad.



Just a few questions:

1) It looks like the Garrecht TRX-1500 is the same as Powerflarm, but

just a tad more optimised for use in powered aircraft than for gliders.

Is there a reason to use Butterfly instead of Garrecht?

2) It looks like the Butterfly connect broadcasts not only traffic info

but also GPS info. Neither party (not even SkyDemon) is willing to

testify that I can use it to get SkyDemon working on the Ipad-wifi, but

they suggest "it should be" and that SkyDemon will use the broadcasted

GPS info (without Apple knowing that I violate their ban on receiving

GPS-info on my No-GPS model).

3) How usable is the traffic info displayed via the SkyDemon? I have not

seen pictures of it, what is actually displayed when there is

conflicting traffic, but I like the idea to be able to see other

aircraft positioned on the moving map.



Thanks in advance for any wise words on this.

Skydemon had the Powerflarm connected to an iPad through a Butterfly Connect and displaying on a large TV screen at Aero Expo and very impressive it was too, showing all the aircraft in the vicinity that were transponding. I came straight home and bought a Butterfly Connect.

As to the GPS signal I personally think the best option for a wifi iPad is the plug in Bad Elf which gets its power from the iPad and we used that on our iPad 1 and the iPad 2. We have now got iPad Minis which are by far the best for flying and the have a proper GPS chip in them, although they will use the phone signal to improve the acquisition time if you have got the sim turned on. Quite frankly it gets a signal lightning quick with the sim turned off so there is no need for it to be on.

As for the Garrecht I have no experience other than what I have read.

One minor cautionary tale about Powerflarm type systems. 

Yesterday I had the excitement/privilege of flying over 

Central London 9 times at around 900ft passing close to 

and below(!!) the Shard, the Olympic stadium, etc on a 

NE/SW course turning at LAM and OCK. The plane was G-ENVR 

belonging to the Natural Environment Research Council and 

housed in my hangar. It was stuffed full of scientific kit 

to measure various pollutants, but also has very 

sophisticated avionics which make a big fuss when we got 

too close to the scenery or any other transponder equipped 

plane got anywhere near us ( and there were police and 

medical helicopters all over the place quite apart from 

multiple aircraft climbing out of London City airport). 

Our turning point at LAM meant that we were more or less 

running down the active runway at Stapleford and on the 

third time around they had an unpleasant surprise when a 

small plane taking off almost had us from below without 

setting off any alarm!

            The message is that it is possibly too easy to 

come to rely on a system covering less than 100% and 

forget the common sense means of avoiding collisions.

Except when flying under flight plan (like IFR in IFR corridors) you are not

100% collision free, and even there 

But these systems help and make us more comfortable like HIS and RMI and GPS

for direction or even AI and ASI...

Nobody suggest that you don't have to look yourself anymore.



Until now I had a mode-C based traffic detector. Although I always fly

with my wife and we are both pilot, and have the rule that only one of

us looks at the map/instuments at a time so there is always at least one

pair of eyes outside, most of the traffic is spotted earlier by the

traffic watch than by us. It is stunning how much traffic we simply miss

and never would have noticed without traffic watch. Only in a very minor

amount of cases it is the other way around. In these cases it is often

"something" without transponder, or low flying in mountenais terrain

where the radar interrogation doesn't reach the transponder, or when

there is too much traffic around and the traffic watch focusses on the

wrong (further away) aircraft. These failures are mostly due to the

nature of mode-C detection, but with Flarm, ADS-B and mode-S the

detection rate and accuracy will be much better. (too bad that in the UK

it is not allowed to use the ADS-B capability of your transponder, but

in most other countries more and more people are using it. For those who

don't know what it is: wth ADS-B the transponder not only broadcasts the

altitude but also the GPS coordinates, giving a highly accurate 3D

position of the aircraft. Advanced computations can then calculate

whether a nearby aircraft is a potential threat or not, similar to the

Flarm system).

I can't do Flarm test as I have not got it yet.

As for the Bad Elf or even the iPad antenna needing to be spaced half metre apart from other GPS antenna, I currently run 4 GPSs in my Europa, a panel mount Skyforce, 2 Mini iPads and my HTC smartphone (the last 3 all running Skydemon). Now there is no way you can get half metre separation on that lot in a Europa and I have never had any GPS problems.

As a matter of interest I use my iPad mini with a garmin glo GPS receiver  this sends a Bluetooth signal to the iPad without wires even though my mini is the cellular type with built in GPS, it all works well but is only a backup to my Aera 795' Regards

All models of the Wi-Fi only version iPad will Bluetooth to a standalone Bluetooth GPS.



I have the very first version of the wi-fi iPad (now running out of puff) bluetooth connected to my GPS  running PocketFMS, AirNav Pro & Runway HD for New Zealand (yes I am nuts).  My other colleagues have later wi-fi iPad versions and all work well.



As for GPS when I flew the other day I had 9 on-board



3 x separate EFIS, 1 x SpiderTracks, 1 x ELT, 1 x PLB, 1 x Smart Phone, 1 Dual for iPad, 1 x Suuno Watch  - so I am more nuts!!!



and they all live happily ever after '' and I have just a slightly larger cockpit area then the Europa.



Cheers Peter

This is in contradiction to the information that can be found in various

forums. I can't find an option to enable GPS via bluetooth either. The

only possibility seems to be to jailbreak the iPad, but my new iPad has

the newest iOS on it and the jailbreak can not be applied to it.



If you know an other way I would be interested. I have an Android phone

happily broadcasting GPS but the iPad won't even see it.

Where did this dictum that GPS antennae need be 0.5 m apart?

I am reasonably well read in the field of GPS and SDR, and have 

never heard of such a thing.  In practice it is certainly not true.

I fly with a Blue Mountain EFIS with the external GPS antenna inside

my panel and my IPad backup is mounted such that its GPS antenna

is about 8 inches away and my iPhone GPS running about two feet away.

The assemblage in my car is similar. All gpss function as spec'd.

GPS devices are receivers and don't generate or transmit any noise in the

same band as the L1 and L2 bands. The heterodyne frequencies are below the antenna bandpass.



As for Apple blocking the connection of external GPS devices, 

again simply not the case. What Apple did want not include a pre-written

GPS driver in the Bluetooth stack of its system software. 

So far as I know, all the BT GPS like Dual (which I use), Bad Elf, etc, 

use the serial driver in the BT stack to communicate. Simple enough for

programmer who writes the App software.



Cheers,



Ira

Franz,



Pair the BT GPS with the iPad via the Settings Menu.



Start your software App which uses the GPS. If it is written to

use the serial stack, it will use the the GPS data.



I did not see which App you were trying to use. Was it  Foreflight

or Hilton?



Did your external GPS come with a utility App?  For example, Dual

was such software which proves the connection and details the satellite

signal strength etc.



Google maps or Apple maps may not use the BT serial approach.

I ordered the Powerflarm core Sat at the LAA rally UK from LX avionics (Â£999 inc). Seems its gaining momentum; RAF have ordered it for their aircadet trainers as well and a big take up of FLARM at Dunstable near me. I am not sure whether to get a stand alone display or to rely on Sky demon which means a blue tooth link and a new nexus7 or phone (bluetooth seems a bit excessive for where a few inches of serial cable would do).

The stand alone displays look a bit micro to me? Any comments?

Is the audio license worth having, I would guess so?



BTW great to see so many Europas and club members at the show.



Would it be a good idea to have a sign in list at the tent so one could see who has arrived been?

For me its always interesting to see the faces of the people from the forum.

I bought a PowerFlarm Core from LX Avionics on Friday at the rally. I have been running SkyDemon on an iPad in the cockpit for over a year and having seen the imprssive traffic system on SkyDemon at AeroExpo earlier this year, a month ago I bought a Butterfly Connect bluetooth (in preparation), so hopefully I will be up and running with the system in the not too distant future.

I have the PFLARM going and am impressed with it. Its great to have traffic pop up as little green planes on the skydemon display. I have had some teething problems with the arrangement with the Nexus7. I found its best to start the skydemon before powering up. If PFLARM is active Skydemon takes the GPS from it rather from the Nexus. If the GPS signal is lost I found I have to close down skydemon and restart it as it doesnt reconnect.
