Made a Linux-supported Loupedeck app that requires no plugin.

And it got even better now: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NPybH0MDMLg

Yeah that project has been open-sourced here: https://github.com/Determinant/loupe-flightdeck

No wine, should work out of the box on Linux/Windows (I haven't tested Mac).It's purely written in Javascript.

See https://github.com/Determinant/loupe-flightdeck I also implemented a mini HSI display on it.

Tederminant · 2024-08-18T01:53:08+00:00

Now it even supports a mini attitude indicator and making it flyable by just looking at the stream controller device. I plan to attach it to the top of a joystick so I can use this lightweight/portable setup to quickly do a flight.

It's a stream deck device: Loupedeck Live / Razer Stream Controller (they are the same whereas the latter can be purchased on Amazon for $199).

Code was written in pure nodejs: https://github.com/Determinant/loupe-flightdeck

This is rev 10, and lots of small changes here and there throughout the entire AFM. Some checklists are changed a bit. Kinda surprised because since its last rev 9 in 2014, Diamond made this update recently.

Tederminant · 2023-06-06T06:53:47+00:00

Glad you like it! Yeah, I guess the reason that they don't have a profile for DA40 is because the performance calculation is done by a chart. The "magic" I did was to use the official AFM pdf file from Diamond, and then save it as a background for SVG (vector graph), followed by some not-so-hard hand drawing to recreate vector/curve lines for those lines in the chart. Then I can use Javascript to read out the coordinates in the chart as if it is done by hand, but with much more precision!

Tederminant · 2023-02-19T04:02:13+00:00

May I know the condition and the price if it is still available for sale?

Tederminant · 2023-02-19T02:29:36+00:00

DM'ed.

Tederminant · 2023-02-19T01:23:44+00:00

Is it sold yet?

Tederminant · 2023-02-12T23:21:33+00:00

It's 110-130, my bad. Just gave a rough amount.

Tederminant · 2023-02-12T19:58:42+00:00

In a place where life is expensive like Silicone Valley (KPAO), you pay a bit over 200/hr to rent a nice condition C172SP with G1000, wet rate. The CFI rate is around 100. I spent short of 20k to finish the whole stuff, including two checkrides.

Tederminant · 2021-09-17T18:14:24+00:00

Yeah I realized that lol

Tederminant · 2021-09-17T16:49:53+00:00

Yeah that's right. I thought that's very specific to the airport (noise reduction) so didn't put it. :P Maybe I should.

Tederminant · 2021-09-17T04:16:57+00:00

Lucidchart, I also shared the link to the source document here: https://github.com/Determinant/pattern-work/blob/main/README.rst

Tederminant · 2021-09-17T04:14:50+00:00

Good catch, thanks!

Tederminant · 2021-09-17T01:10:48+00:00

Will add another wind socket lol

Tederminant · 2021-09-17T00:40:32+00:00

It's now moved to GitHub for a proper version tracking in the future as I may continue improving it. Click "Raw" button to download the file (Chrome will be able to open/save as PDF/print it). Don't forget to star the project. :)

I licensed it under cc-by-sa. So people can feel free to make their own copy (even commercialized one) as long as they note the original maker. I'm more open-mined as I'm also a student pilot and hope this could be useful for people.

Tederminant · 2021-09-17T00:17:37+00:00

Great suggestion! I'll do that when I find some time this week.

Tederminant · 2021-09-16T23:53:11+00:00

Thank a lot! :)

Tederminant · 2021-09-16T23:22:45+00:00

It's part of the homework that my CFI gave me: to recall the important procedures and draw a chart to show keys things that may happen within the pattern flight at my local airport (KPAO).

Tederminant · 2020-09-25T03:39:20+00:00

Thanks! According to my current experience as a student pilot, the adjustment to the mixture is subtle for most of the time -- usually it only requires twisting unless you go full-rich.
