The tinkerer and efiddler can experiment so with the now 2 year old Stratux2AP implementation and it works quite well - if you know exactly what you do. BUT, there is a reason the digital autopilot in experimental sector deleted things like BT input and consumer electronics interfaces for operational purposes - simply because the airmenship even in Experimental showed no benefit to harm by such capability. I think we are by far better of keeping consumer electronics for planning purpose and restrict ourselves to transfer the result in real avionics.

There have been many posts and suggestions on this forum and elsewhere requesting a facility for exporting Sky Demon routes to autopilots and other devices over the last few years. Since the introduction of Sky Demon we have all benefitted greatly from its planning, navigation and briefing capabilites and has become the preferred choice of most GA pilots. However, one option that has been missing from its capabilities was the ability to integrate Sky Demon with general aviation autopilots. Due to the increased interest in this requirement I believe that Sky Demon may now be prepared to explore such an integration. It would help the case for developing this capabilty if those interested could express their support and interest on this forum. Also, if anyone is aware of an existing solution using readily available off the shelf and budget friendly hardware please share this information here as this will reduce reasearch and development time and make an approved solution more likely. Thanks in advance for your support. Alan Maynard
