Company Develops App For Performance Monitoring On Apple
Portable Devices
SportairUSA has completed installation and flight testing
of the iMonitor EMS system by TruTrak Flight Systems in the new
Savage iCub bush plane. The system accepts engine performance
information from engine sensors to an Engine Data Module (EDM) and
then transmits each line of data through an on board wireless to
any iPad or iPhone running the TruTrak iMonitor software.
Bill Canino, President of SportairUSA, was pleased with the
performance of the iCub in all aspects of flight with the iMonitor
program. "It is very easy to interpret and displays an amazing
amount of data simultaneously to both pilots. Even our mechanics
can read the engine information while standing outside of the
aircraft."
The iMonitor Engine Monitoring program is a wireless
iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch App which is easy to use can be downloaded
for $.99 from the iTunes App Store. The app allows multiple devices
to be on the network at the same time. "The iMonitor is as powerful
and reliable as our other EMS systems. It is just what you need for
panel space saving and will continue to grow with added features
and abilities," said Andrew Barker, COO and TruTrak General
Manager.
TruTrak Flight Systems, Inc. has released the iMonitor and the
TS-83 Wi-Fi/USB Module for use with their EMS systems. The TS-83
gives full data logging ability to the EMS system as well as "black
box"-type recording. EMS data is recorded onto a USB flash memory
device inserted into the TS-83. The "black box" recording feature
stores the last 15 hours of flight information in internal memory.
In addition, the module broadcasts the EMS data via an ad-hoc Wi-Fi
network. iMonitor has an intuitive, simple user interface. The
aircraft mounted Wi-Fi also allows faster data transfer speeds.
The following engine information can be included in the iMonitor
display:
- RPM, Manifold Pressure, EGT (9 possible) + Peak, CHT (9
possible).
- Oil Temperature, Oil Pressure.
- Volts.
- Amps.
- Outside Air Temperature.
- Flap Position.
- Pitch Trim Position.
- Lateral Trim Position.
- Contact 1, Contact 2, Contact 3.
- Fuel Pressure.
- Fuel Level 1, Fuel Level 2, Fuel Flow, Fuel Totalizer, Set
Remaining Fuel.
- Hours Remaining, Range Remaining.
The program allows selection between carburetor temperature,
turbo inlet temperature, or air pressure. Pilots and mechanics can
also monitor aircraft time, engine time, oil time, zulu time, local
time, trip time, leg time, reset oil time, reset trip time, data
logging (usb) and internal red line logging.
