ESI.

Hi and Yes that's where i first saw it and started thinking about it but in throwing a little project together I started thinking about EFIS type CAP panels hence my look at the EC135 and my post.. I've looked at Eurosafety and you have some pretty good interactive training materials which I've mentioned in other places.

When I saw your app and the comments re the droid, i just started playing with it and you can see my comments re web apps which I personally believe are just more flexible and perhaps quicker to put together. I have quite a few years in the business as an operator and an IT background, hence my interest in marrying the two. I've always been of the opinion, that whilst we do fairly well in the front office (aka cockpit ref efis etc), we do poorly in our industry in the back office (ref admin etc). I have looked at Iphone app development and believed it to be too narrow a base if you consider symbian, windows mobile, droid; but one common thread is the continued effort of smart phone, and now soon to be tablet (Ipadesque) manufacturers to improve the web experience. Without doubt html 5 will only improve this experience. This lead me to look at how quickly a more flexible web app approach could be used to overcome some issues faced when dealing with so many different types of smart phones etc.

Feel free to comment, or pm me on anything.
