  • FlySto.net - New tool to improve proficiency

    Haven't visited the Forum or posted any videos in a while. Sitting at the computer is not a priority right now. Thought this would be worth a post. I stumbled across a website while investigating another flight data evaluation tool. The site is FlySto.net and worth investigation. Right now, access is free. My impression is that it is European based (ISA vs Density Altitude).

    One note up front, because it is free, I think it takes a couple of days to get access to the server. Didn't have any luck downloading EFIS data for a couple of days after registration.

    This is just a video download from the tool. There is a whole bunch of other tools and graphs on the site that can be customized to your plane and the type of flying you do. My parameters are weighted toward speed control and not position since there are few standard approaches in backcountry.
    It downloads the EFIS data, then spits out a several views 2D, 3D, Synthetic and even actual video. It syncs the video automatically to your data. It identifies and evaluates takeoffs, landings, flight maneuvers and can evaluate the with parameters you set. It grades your approaches based on those parameters you set.

    Steep 1G turns, 55 kt 720 at 7600 MSL, 50 kt 720 at 7600 MSL (needs work) and landing

    If you look closely, you will see a pink arrow show up on the heading indicator. That is the slip indicator telling me my feet aren't participating as much as they should.

    Pretty nice tool and essentially effortless to use. There is an amazing amount of information in a modern EFIS data log.

    I'll take the opportunity to use it for a quick Companion update. The attached image is the take-off portion from my 3rd flight. You can see I had a >2100 fpm climb rate at 50' AGL. I am also seeing about 138mph at 75% power. This is with a fixed pitch Catto prop and is inline or better than the published performance numbers.
