FlyQ Pilot's Guide

switch can be turned on so there is no need to turn the TAWS layer off every time you plan a flight.

Always show obstacle detection area

The Obstacle layer displays a red “pie wedge” detection area in front of the aircraft marker when it detects an obstacle near your predicted position within two minutes. The “pie wedge” is not normally displayed otherwise. Enable this feature to show a green pie wedge when no threat is detected.

Show color IR satellite

FlyQ normally displays infrared weather satellite images using shades of grey. It uses distinct color bands instead when this switch is selected.

Traffic filter

The ADS-B Traffic map layer may show aircraft that is too far away to be any threat to you. You can turn on a filter that hides such traffic either by tapping a button on the map’s 15 NM traffic ring or by turning this switch on. Traffic that is more than 15 NM away or more than 3,500 vertical feet away is hidden when the filter is on.

Note: Even when the traffic filter is off, FlyQ EFB hides traffic more than 75 NM away to reduce screen clutter and improve system performance and memory utilization.

Enable ring on ADS-B traffic layer

FlyQ normally shows a 15 NM ring around your position when the Traffic layer is on so you judge distance to targets; however, it’s redundant if you’re using the Rings layer.

Flight Planning

The Flight Planning section provides links for adding, deleting, or modifying pilot and aircraft profiles as well as Personal Waypoints and Flight Tracks. The Defaults button controls certain default parameters of a flight plan such as VFR vs. IFR, Home Airport, etc. DUATS codes and the choice of using either Leidos (Lockheed) or DUATS is part of each pilot profile.

VSR ft above airport

You can specify a target AGL when using the VSR gauge to determine the correct descent profile to reach a landing airport. The VSR gauge uses this altitude, not the ground elevation of the airport, to determine the descent slope.
