Description
SkyTraX is a GPS and barometric data logger for skydiving. It operates on the principle of “set and forget” – turn it on at the start of each day, and it will automatically detect the start and end of each jump and log only the duration of the jump to memory. Like an AAD, it will automatically turn itself off at the end of the day.
SkyTraX prioritises logging GPS data – if the GPS fix quality is sufficiently high, GPS data will be stored in memory. However, if the GPS fix is lost or degrades during a jump, SkyTraX will automatically switch to logging barometric data for altitude and vertical speed. If the GPS fix is later recovered, logging will seamlessly switch back to GPS data.
Logged data is presented in a standardised format supported by most existing software tools for viewing skydive logs. (For example: Flysight Viewer, gSwoop, etc.)
SkyTraX isn’t new – we’ve been quietly testing and improving it over the last few years, and it has completed hundreds of jumps across a range of disciplines.
