Abstract

Kwik EFIS is a Glass Cockpit application designed to work on most Android devices. It provides a modern aviation glass cockpit attitude and flight instrument display. <b>Digital Moving Map</b> The built in map module provides situational awareness and and navigation functionality. EFIS can optionally integrate with the Stratux ADS-B/AHRS to provide real-time traffic overlay. <b>Synthetic Vision</b> Synthetic vision is built from the USGS 3 arc second Digital Elevation Model data. If enabled, it also allows for some terrain collision detection. The required terrain data packages are available via F-Droid, see: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/player.efis.data.usa.can - North America, Canada https://f-droid.org/en/packages/player.efis.data.eur.rus - Europe, Russia https://f-droid.org/en/packages/player.efis.data.sah.jap - Sahara / North Africa, India / Indonesia, Japan https://f-droid.org/en/packages/player.efis.data.eur.rus - Southern Africa, Australia / New Zealand https://f-droid.org/en/packages/player.efis.data.pan.arg - South America https://f-droid.org/en/packages/player.efis.data.ant.spl - Antarctica / South Pole <b>Flight Director</b> Kwik EFIS has a fully functional flight director built in. It uses the standard V-Bar symbology common to modern flight directors. The target waypoint and altitude is set on-screen by means of the spinner controls on the right top and bottom of the screen. <b>Airspace</b> Airspace data is provided from Worldwide Soaring Services Turnpoint Exchange Airspace (http://soaringweb.org/Airspace/) <b>ADS-B/AHRS</b> In addition to the internal sensors, a low cost Stratux ADS-B/AHRS can be selected as the input source. See http://www.stratux.me/ for more information. <b>Simulator</b> There is a simulation mode available in the application. The Flight director is used to select a waypoint and altitude and the simulator will generate the GPS movements to navigate to the selected waypoint. The speed is set at the typical cruise for the currently selected aircraft. <b>Installation</b> For application and installation help, see: https://ninelima.org/efis/instructions.html
