Detailed Description

Flight detection for powered aircraft.

This detector implements a state machine suitable for powered aircraft (airplanes, motor gliders, etc.). It uses ground speed, altitude AGL, and proximity to ICAO airfields to detect takeoff and landing.

Detection criteria:

• Takeoff: Ground speed exceeds the aircraft's configured minimum speed (default 50 km/h) within 5 km of an airfield, confirmed by altitude gain of at least 200 ft above airfield elevation within 60 seconds.
• Landing: Altitude below 100 ft above airfield elevation within 5 km of an airfield, confirmed by speed dropping below the aircraft's configured minimum speed (default 50 km/h).
• Go-around: While in LandingPhase, altitude gain > 200 ft above airfield elevation ends the current flight leg and starts a new one from the touch-and-go airport.
• Abort: Speed drops below half the takeoff threshold or 60 seconds elapse in TakeoffPhase without altitude confirmation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AirplaneFlightDetector()

Flightlog::AirplaneFlightDetector::AirplaneFlightDetector ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Standard constructor.

Parameters

parent

The standard QObject parent pointer

Member Function Documentation

detectionState()

auto Flightlog::AirplaneFlightDetector::detectionState ( ) const -> DetectionState

inlinenodiscardoverridevirtual

Current detection state.

Returns

The current detection state

Implements Flightlog::FlightDetector.

Definition at line 62 of file AirplaneFlightDetector.h.

endFlight()

void Flightlog::AirplaneFlightDetector::endFlight ( )

overridevirtual

Manually end the current in-flight recording.

If the detector is in the InFlight or LandingPhase state, this creates a completed flight with the current UTC time as landing time and resolves the nearest airport if available. The accumulated landing count from LandingPhase is preserved. Resets the detection state to Idle.

Does nothing if the detection state is Idle or TakeoffPhase.

Implements Flightlog::FlightDetector.

processPositionUpdate()

void Flightlog::AirplaneFlightDetector::processPositionUpdate ( const Positioning::PositionInfo & info )

overridevirtual

Process a position update.

Called on every position update when auto-detection is enabled. Subclasses implement the state machine transitions here.

Parameters

info	The current position information

Implements Flightlog::FlightDetector.

resetDetection()

void Flightlog::AirplaneFlightDetector::resetDetection ( )

overridevirtual

Reset the detection state to Idle.

Clears all pending detection data and returns to the Idle state. Used when auto-detection is disabled while detection is in progress.

Implements Flightlog::FlightDetector.
