FlightView Gets A Huge Upgrade – FDC v3
Falken Avionics is pleased to introduce the third generation of our Flight Data Computer (FDC), a major upgrade that takes the FlightView EFIS to a whole new level. What’s an FDC? For those who are not familiar with FlightView, the FDC is the core computer system. It serves as the central hub, collecting data from […]
Keep Cool and Fly On with Falken TEC
We’re based in Austin, Texas. Texas is hot. Really hot. How hot? Today it got up to 106° F. Yesterday it got up to 108° F. So yeah, hot. If you’re at all familiar with iPads, you know that heat is their kryptonite. Above a certain temperature they start to throttle the CPU cores and […]

No Room For FlightBar? Check Out FlightStick
One of the things that really distinguishes FlightView from other iPad-based EFIS* is our FlightBar – a wireless controller that adds a set of “hard” knobs and buttons to the system. Touch screens are great – on the ground. In the air, it’s generally best to have something a bit more tactile. FlightBar allows the […]
USB Motion Isolator – Now Available
A few weeks back I posted about a potential new product designed to make USB a bit more reliable in high vibration environments by mechanically isolating the hub, cable, and plug / dongle. Well, it took a couple of iterations to get the spacing exactly right, but I now have a design that fits the […]
A Better USB Hub for Aviation and Industrial Applications
USB (short for Universal Serial Bus) is a great standard – it allows virtually any device to talk to any other device over a very fast connection. An enormous number of peripheral devices can be connected using simple and inexpensive hubs. Unfortunately, USB connectors were designed for the office, not the cockpit. Aircraft vibration can, […]
New iPad Options For FlightView
TL;DR – Apple released a new base model iPad and it should make a perfect, and cheaper, FlightView display. From the product launch page: On Tuesday, October 18 Apple launched a new (and somewhat more expensive) base-model iPad and a new set of iPad Pros. I have yet to try any of these out, but […]
New Look for Falken
So after a few years of what a friend referred to as “programmer art”, we’ve finally upped our web game. The new site does a much better job of showcasing what FlightView is and does. A huge shout-out to Selma Filipovic from SF Design who took a bunch of functional but boring text, screen shots, […]
