Flight Debrief

Capture post-flight observations and route data to the right places.

Input

$ARGUMENTS

Steps

Capturing flight notes:

1. Ask about the flight (only what's relevant — don't interrogate):

   • Any squawks or discrepancies? (→ squawks.tsv)
   • Engine behavior — temps, pressures, anything unusual?
   • Fuel burn — total gallons, flight time?
   • Weather or performance notes worth recording?

2. Log any squawks per the squawk skill workflow

3. Note any maintenance items triggered by the flight:

   • Approaching an oil change interval?
   • Anything that needs attention before next flight?

Uploading flight data:

N720AK records flight data on the Dynon SkyView HDX SD card. The data lives in CSV files.

To extract data from Dynon:

1. Remove the SD card from the SkyView HDX
2. Copy the CSV files to the computer
3. The main files are:
   • C_ENGINE.CSV — engine monitor data (CHT, EGT, oil temp/pressure, fuel flow, etc.)
   • C_FLIGHT.CSV — flight track data (GPS, altitude, airspeed)

Upload to SavvyAnalysis (engine health trending):

• Go to https://savvyanalysis.com
• Log in, click "Upload Files"
• Upload C_ENGINE.CSV (compress to ZIP if large)
• SavvyAnalysis auto-parses Dynon format
• Review the flight in their analysis tool for CHT/EGT trends

Upload to FlySto (full flight analysis + ADSB debrief):

• Go to https://www.flysto.net
• Log in, click upload / import
• Upload the Dynon data log CSV
• FlySto provides: flight track replay, engine data overlay, near-ADSB-traffic analysis, altimeter setting validation
• Note: FlySto may show duplicate flights if you re-upload the full circular log file. Upload only new data or delete duplicates in the FlySto UI.

Neither service has a public API — uploads must be done through the browser. Claude cannot automate these uploads, but can:

• Remind you to upload after each flight
• Help interpret SavvyAnalysis results once you share them
• Help analyze Dynon CSV files locally using scripts in scripts/

Local analysis:

If the user provides a Dynon CSV file path, Claude can analyze it directly:

• Fuel pressure analysis: uv run --with numpy --with matplotlib python3 scripts/regulator_diagnostic.py /path/to/log.csv
• CHT/EGT spread analysis (can be built on request)
• Fuel burn calculations
