Anyone have PIREPs for android apps that could provide some ?flight instruments? for the backseater in a tandem aircraft (RV8), using the device?s INTERNAL sensors? Reliability/accuracy isn?t that big a deal, as long as it?s close ? just something for backseater situational awareness while they try flying some maneuvers from the rear.
I?ve tried a couple apps that attempt to simulate an AI or AI/DG using the device?s gyros and magnetometers, but they seemed pretty glitchy.
What would be really nice would be a ?5 pack? like my Garmin 396 provides, using purely GPS-derived info (ground speed, gps altitude, mag track, etc). Seems like a phone/tablet app could do the same thing quite easily ? I just haven?t seen someone try an app for it.
Just looking for ideas?
