FlyQ Pilot's Guide

Map modes

Tapping the 3D cube button on any map bar switches the display to the next map mode (Map (2D), 3D, and then AR). You may disable switching to AR (Augmented Reality) or 3D if you prefer.

Save flight tracks to the cloud

Recorded tracks are stored on the iPad or iPhone that recorded it. They are also stored in our secure cloud for access by FlyQ Online (PC and Mac). The cloud system also generates the graphical representations of your flight for emailing, printing, posting to Facebook or Twitter, etc. You may disable cloud storage with this switch but we do not recommend it as it reduces functionality.

Automatically record flights

By default, FlyQ automatically begins recording flights when your speed exceeds 50 kts for a few seconds and stops when it goes below 20 kts. You can disable the automatic recording but still record flights by using the manual Start and Stop buttons in the Flight Recording area of the Status Indicators .

Alerts

Explain the problem with ADS-B traffic

ADS-B traffic is highly problematic for aircraft flying without an ADS-B Out system and the vast majority of portable ADS-B systems lack ADS-B out. When this switch is on, FlyQ EFB shows a warning message about this once a day and suggests that you read the ADS-B Primer for more information. This document, in the ADS-B section, also includes some of the reasons why ADS-B traffic should not be relied upon in most situations. If you’re already read the ADS-B Primer and understand the issues, you can turn this warning off.

Show download alert when ChartData Updates are available

Every 28 days, Seattle Avionics releases new ChartData™. FlyQ EFB shows an alert when new ChartData is available unless this switch is on.

Show Preflight Checklist alert on flight plan load and creation

FlyQ EFB helps ensure that you have the data you need for a safe flight by reminding you to use the Preflight Checklist when you create a new flight plan or load an existing one. You can disable this feature here.
