How it works

When loading an aircraft for the first time, StableApproach tries to download a configuration from this GitHub repo or, if not available, generates a default one.

While flying, StableApproach records all datarefs required for analysis. After landing, as soon as the aircraft has slowed down to taxi speed, it begins analyzing the recording. Depending on user settings it then displays either a short or a detailed report with a lot of information about approach, landing and rollout.

Splash screen / loading screen

After starting X-Plane, this window will show up at the top and show if you have the latest version of StableApproach.

If the version number is written in green, StableApproach is up to date. If it stays white, it was not able to check for updates.
(Make sure online mode is enabled in the general settings window!)

After the airport and navigation database has been loaded into StableApproach, the green READY indication will show up and the window will disappear within 5 seconds.
You are now ready to fly.
