LK8000

LK8000 is a Tactical Flight Navigator for gliders, paragliders, hang-gliders and basic aviation. It is a consolidated open-source challenge born in 2010, out there on most platforms: PC, PNA, KOBO, LINUX, IOS (underneath growth), RASPBERRY and ANDROID. LK is translated into 17 languages and used in over 67 countries by many hundreds pilots every day.

LK can be configured to act as a navigator for free flight (gliding, paragliding, hang-gliding), for light plane (common aviation), and additionally for trekking and offroad! On our website you can obtain the necessary maps for your country, together with documentation, hints, tutorials and information. We also offer free support to all customers on our international support forum (upon free subscription). Maps can additionally be downloaded from LK configuration utilizing LKMAPS app.

In addition to traditional flight navigation features, LK has many advanced features:

- Detection of start of free flight (each towing and winching)

- Accurate calculations of scoring, due to the above feature

- Forecasting for completion of FAI triangles, with virtual waypoint created dinamically and available for a "go-to"

- The Oracle, a no-panic immediate page giving accurate position report for a quick readout on the radio

- A super complete automatic logbook, each for reading on the gadget and for export as CSV for spreadsheets.

- A clever profile system allowing saving and loading setting for system, pilot, system and aircraft

- Textual pages for waypoints, airports, airspaces, in a format comparable to the one in use by professional avionics

- A tremendous aggressive FLARM knowledge administration, with "link to target" functionalities, radar with historical past of traces and extra. It is the most advanced FLARM knowledge management obtainable worldwide in phrases of capabilities.

- Cross-part map pages with splittable sections (prime and side view)

- An progressive "visual glide" page, suggesting all reasonable selections for long glides round with no want to contact anything, totally automatic: just feed LK with information (waypoints) about mountain peaks, valleys, ridges.

- Airspace warning sonar: approaching to airspaces can be signalled with a sonar-type strategy, no want to look at the display screen

- Automatic MacCready calculation (AutoMC): let us inform you how issues are actually going, and calculate arrival altitudes not round what you hope, however what you are really doing.

- Automatic radio frequency setup, no want to touch the radio anymore (for supported hardware)

- Multi targets: change destination with a single contact of the screen nook, rotating among present process waypoint, greatest alternate (calculated automatically of course), Home, Last good thermal, Team mate, Flarm goal.

- Textual record and selection of all of your thermals, for a immediate go-to, automatically named after their timestamp, with distance and path from you, historic climb common and forecasted arrival altitude at the bottom of the thermal, all sortable, and ready for a go-to .

.. and a lot much more.

Watchout, LK8000 has been fastidiously designed for a turbulence proof utilization throughout flight. It is trivial to use it, however not immediate with out figuring out how it works. Once you know it, you never leave it.

Feed LK with waypoints. On ancient hardware, we made LK capable to handle as a lot as 10 hundreds waypoints at as soon as. On trendy techniques, it would be a pity not to make use of hardware pace. If you fly in mountain areas, look after a waypoint listing of peaks, valleys, ridges, thermal spots, and let LK use them for you. You will be amazed for what seems routinely on the multimap web page "Visual glide" as soon as there's some knowledge to munch!

Rock strong. LK is your private flight assistant for tactical choices, and you wouldn't expect it to drop you out after a software program crash, would you? Stable variations are released solely after an intense beta-testing section carried on by tons of of check pilots round the world.

What you get, is the most advanced free flight laptop ever made. Welcome aboard!
