Thread: Log GPS Altitude

  1. #1

    Log GPS Altitude

    Hello Rob,
    I understand that the software development for the AF-4500 is in the maintenance phase but could you please add gps altitude in the log file as well.
    If others in the forum support this AFS might free up time to add it. The Dynons log this as I have been told.

    Thanks
    Mike

    GPS log would be helpful for post flight analysis of piloting skill, as well as systems fault analysis.

    GPS speed and position is being logged, but not GPS Altitude which I'd need.

    I know that barometric altitude is logged that why I specifically ask for GPS altitude.
    Savvy is great I use it as well.

    For example for takeoff and landing distance measurement over the 15m obstacle. My barometric altitude us not precise enough at low speeds.
