About
[GARMIN DISCLAIMER] WARNING: The app is intended only as an in-flight aid and should not be used as a primary information source. If the app contains a barometric altimeter, it will not function in a pressurized aircraft and should not be used in a pressurized aircraft.
[DEVELOPER DISCLAIMER] This software is developed on my free time and provided to the Garmin community (for free) on a best-effort basis. Please read its description and usage manual fully before contacting me.
TowplaneSK - shortname for Towplane Swiss Knife - is a Garmin ConnectIQ Application that features:
- a Timer view, tracking your off-block, takeoff, landing and on-block time, along elapsed block and flight time
- a Speed view, displaying your current vertical speed, altitude, ground speed and heading, along flight time and optimal tow speed
- an Altimeter view, showing your current altitude and QNH (using its own barometric altimeter), along temperature and density altitude as well as pressure altitude (flight level)
- a Towplane view, showing the current towplane total and maximum takeoff weight, along fuel quantity and fuel flow
- a Glider view, showing the current glider total and maximum takeoff weight, along optimal tow speed
- a Log view, the history of passed flights (timers)
USAGE:

DEVICES:
Being a hobbyist ConnectIQ developer, I do not support device layouts other than the one I own (round 240x240). GitHub Pull-Request implementing such support are welcome though (with accompanying screen capture image).
Also note that despite all my efforts to reduce its memory footprint, TowplaneSK requires more memory (~150kiB) than most but the latest-generation and most featured devices can offer. Thus the Fenix 5, Forerunner 935, etc. not being supported (having only 128kiB memory available).
