CloudAhoy

CloudAhoy automatically identifies various flight operations, labels them and color-codes them.

After taxiing and running through the before-takeoff checklist (green track), your Piper Arrow starts rolling (the brown track). You rotate, accelerate in ground effect and then start climbing (blue track).

CloudAhoy can display your flight path in 3D, and it can also display it in Cockpit View.

Shuttle to any point in the flight, and toggle Cockpit View. Viola! Just the way you remember it. Want to re-live the flight? Hit Play and see it just the way it was. Look straight left, right or down. You can also fast-play it, up to a speed of 10x.

You may ask: will it show the flight really the way I saw it? Even if it was a night flight, or a cloudy day?
Good question. The answer is no. The sun always shines in CloudAhoy... But maybe in a future release.

ATC cleared you to the ILS 5 approach at KLWM. Having intercepted the glide slope at HAGET you make slight corrections to your heading and to your vertical speed, and keep the needles centered... more or less.

How well did you do? Did you bust any minimum? CloudAhoy displays your actual track (blue) and the published approach (magenta and white). It can display the wind vectors along the entire flight (yellow). You can animate the flight at any point, in various playback speeds. You can even compare your missed approach with the published missed.

In addition to automatically colored flight segments, you can define your own segments and color them yourself. In this picture, a user defined a yellow segment (FAF to touch-down) and a light blue segment (localizer and glide slope intercept).

The other colors were provided by CloudAhoy: cruise in blue, white lines showing the localizer and glide slopes, magenta showing the published approach, red showing the landing, and green showing the taxi back to the ramp.

ATC told you to descent to 2000', then gave you a final vector and cleared you to the ILS approach. You can display your flight over 3D aviation charts, and can obtain color-coded profile graphs. You can plot your altitude, vertical speed, TAS and heading.
