FIRST STEP: Choose your flying vehicle
You have five choices, which are “Fighter”, “Bomber”, “Passenger Aircraft”, “Helicopter” and “Myself”. Your choice will determine the normal flying speed for the calculation of turning radius:
Fighter -> 2100 km/hr,
Bomber -> 1000 km/hr,
Passenger aircraft -> 850 km/hr,
Helicopter -> 250 km/hr, and
Myself -> 4 km/hr.
Fighter -> 2100 km/hr,
Bomber -> 1000 km/hr,
Passenger aircraft -> 850 km/hr,
Helicopter -> 250 km/hr, and
Myself -> 4 km/hr.
SECOND STEP: Choose sensor mode
At first, FlyingSupervisor will scan your device and list out all the available sensors. Again, FlyingSupervisor needs your decision with the key sensor and the auxiliary sensor.
The key sensor will collect data for later process. It can be either the accelerometer or the gravity sensor, as they are theoretically the same.
The function of the auxiliary sensor is just to assist the key sensor, or, in other words, to share burden. It can be the linear accelerometer or the orientation sensor, or neither. However, it will not increase the accuracy too much! Moreover, it is necessary to point out that the linear accelerometer may lead to jumps in data when the environment is too silent, which is even a drawback!
All in all, your choices should mainly depend on the availability and the health status of each single sensor. Sometime, trial and error are needed for better performance.

THIRD STEP: Enjoy your trip
In this screen, you can find three views of a plane, one updating chart and an information board.
The three views dynamically show the motion of the plane. In specific, the front view indicates the roll angle, while the side view indicates the pitch angle. The flying direction of the plane shows on the yaw direction. (“Pitch”, “Roll” and “Yaw” are the technical terms describing the local coordinate.)
The updating chart visualizes the linear accelerations in the local coordinate, regardless of the influence of gravity (to some extent). You can directly supervise the stability of the plane. The blue curve represents the linear acceleration in yaw direction (up and down), which indicates the vibration of your plane and will be used to measure the safety index. So, you may pay special attention to the blue curve.
The information board summarizes the plane’s status, including safety index, stability and motion details. All the information is for reference ONLY and this App’s main purpose is to emphasize on the safety issue on the plane.

Potential problem with the sensors!
First of all, this error does not belong to the App, but results from the physical sensors.
When the environment is too silent, sensors tend to be more sensitive and overamplyfy the tiny noise! This behavior leads to the potential problem.
You can simply solve it by making small disturbing to your device on purpose!
