Hi All,



Please forgive the intrusion of this homebuilder/long time Matronics

forum contributor to your group. I can at least say I have help friends

build a 7A and an 8A  



While being grounded for the past many months with a cracked engine block, 

I have been amusing myself by writing software (and teaching kids to 

restore tube and rag classic aircraft, but thats a story for another day!). 



Allow me to introduce avAltimeter 



Not many many people are aware that in the iPhone 6 and later, Apple 

has incorporated a Bosch barometer chip. I recently released to the 

App Store a unique app which emulates an analog flight altimeter with 

a number of "smart" features including a Kollsman window for setting 

the current pressure, calculation of Density Altitude, true airspeed and 

takeoff performance. The App also provides a warning for supplemental 

oxygen consistent with US FARs. The latest version of the app, now allows

entry of the Altimeter Setting (QNH) in millibars or in inches of mercury,

and allows display of altitude and density altitude in Feet or Meters.



Obviously avAltimeter is not FAA TSO approved and so I provide it for 

entertainment only. At present it can only be run on iPhone 6 and later, 

and not even iPads or iPods since they lack the Bosch chip. 



I understand the new Samsung Galaxy S7 now has a barometer chip as 

well and I plan to transfer the code to Android in the near future. 



My software web site is http://www.aviametrix.com 

or search for "avAltimeter" on the Apple App Store! 



Thanks for your attention! 



Cheers,

I am debating the upgrade from Samsung Galaxy S5 to S7 and your app 

would be an incentive. Please keep us informed re Android transfer.
