PalmEFIS is a sophisticated tool that takes the technologies of glass cockpits and makes it available to all pilots on a business tool that they may already own, the Palm Handheld computer. PalmEFIS utilizes the power of the Palm to produce flight and navigation instrumentation that is a useful backup, crosscheck, or convenience to pilots in their flight experience. In many cases PalmEFIS gives the pilot an added safety margin. With the cross wind and head wind components pilots are alerted early to dangerous conditions so that they could land to refuel if head winds are too strong or select another airport it the cross winds exceed the aircraft capabilities or the pilots comfort level. With the PalmEFIS density altitude feature pilots can cross check their aircraft?s altitude performance margins visually in real-time. But one of the biggest reasons for having PalmEFIS in your flight bag is on those dark high overcast nights or flights in the clouds when the instrument panel goes dark. Pointers no longer correspond to each other. Where the next communication would be ?I?ve lost all?? That?s when PalmEFIS gives you one more chance to return to earth safely
