I was thinking how easy it would be to build
an auto land system.

Anybody know how to program Android apps?

All you need is a tablet with a USB port and moving map software.

Then you build a pressure altimeter using a single
chipper and a pressure sensor with a USB interface.

The GPS is built into the the tablet.
You set the coordinates of the end of the runway you want to land
on and that will put you within 15 feet.

The last little bit is done with a ultrasonic back up sensor.

I want a GOOD autoland system..  ;)


Actually, I don't.  I like landing airplanes by use of my hands, feet, and eyes.  It's fun.


Matt-


OK Cat IIIB but low cost :) Of course it is not legal but who is
going to bust you landing on a private strip with no ILS.

Hands, feet, and eyes work until you can't see and there is no ILS.
