Hey everyone,

I'm an engineer, pilot and enjoy programming in my free time. I know it started a while ago, but in light of the FAA's NextGen initiative, I'm working on an application that is focused on helping address the top 4 causes for fatalities in GA accidents:
1. Loss of control in flight (accelerated stall)
2. Controlled flight into terrain
3. System malfunction (powerplant)
4. Fuel management

I'm planning to go through three stages:

1. Voice recognition application design for a mobile device. The application is confined to speech recognition in the cockpit. It will be used to set targets and record information that can be fed to the pilot when needed. Functions include:2. An expansion on the application in step (1) would include geographic referencing and cloud/weather data3. Sensors will be developed to interface with the application described in steps 1-2. For the beginning, the application will be a supplement in the background as someone uses ForeFlight, Avare, etc. You can set targets and request information directly on the device or verbally when needed. There is a ton of detail missing for the sake of brevity, but please let me know if you want more.

My questions are:
1. I know a lot of these features already exist in panel mounted units and some are already integrated into ForeFlight and other applications. The point is to make it comprehensive, affordable and attainable for more GA pilots. Have you seen anything out there with this specific layout/goal?

2. Are there any features that you think don't make sense or that you would want add?

All other feedback is welcome.

I've had a friend who has and I've nearly fallen victim to some of the 4 fatal factors above. I know there's already a lot technology out there, but more can be done.
Thanks
