I removed the references to the Linuxĭocumentation Project, the maintainers never responded in any way to my

Also added entries for several newlyĭiscovered software packages. Related to that particular application area, but from a more generic,Īnd non-Linux specific perspective. Them, I added pointers to other information resources that address issues I added some new and more focused application categories. I also added entries for several newly discovered packages Updated theĬontact information for the author, (new e-mail address).Īdded a small section on hardware, mostly pointers to other resources. References to the section on embedded hardware, as well as a short blurbĪbout the availability of GNU/Linux for the iPaq handheld. New release and rewriting of the whole document.Īdded new entries for the Gpsdrive, GPLIGC, JFlight, and KFlog packages.įive years between updates is rather ridiculous, time to turn this HOWTOĪdded a new entry for the AirLog logbook package.

In the interest of brevity, I did not include explicit pointers to source code or binaries when they are available through reasonably obvious links on the software's home page. I know work for both USA and Europe world of traffic management, and it's exciting to see the difference and the history which created those.Įach of the software pointers in this document consists of a brief description of the software, information on who wrote it, where to find it, and user comments in some cases. I wanted to be pilot, but with my color-blindness I have a bit abadon it. My own personal interests center around air traffic flow management since I have worked almost 4 years for Eurocontrol providing simulations to increase the safety and effeciency in the european sky. However, I will gladly include entries for commercial products from any vendors who are GNU/Linux friendly. Most of the software packages mentioned in this release are freely distributable, and come with source code. This document is intended to provide pointers to software packages that run under GNU/Linux and are usefull to pilots (private, commercial or military), airlines, airports or any actors in the aeronautical domain. I also believe that the open software development model and the GNU/Linux operating system is the computing environment with the greatest potential to meet such high standards. In my opinion, any computing environment used for aviation related applications should meet similar high standards. Certificated aircraft are designed and built to engineering and quality standards that far exceed those of any other consumer product. Pilots have an implicit expectation for their aircraft to be well designed, ergonomic, predictable, reliable, and safe to operate. The business and sport of aviation is about as mission critical as any human endeavor gets.
