    This video is largely about the ICP tour, which the author finally gets to after checking on his friend whose 912 quit (conveniently over a valley airstrip). The previous video, mainly about the forced landing (posted here before) is below.

    This is a fascinating (hour long) video made with an airline captain's eye for aeronautical detail.

    This video sets out the somewhat similar situation in the US, but all based on ADSB data collection. It claims that this is contrary to assurances from government that the data would never be used for non-safety-related purposes, nor for regulation enforcement. (The key points are made between mins 05:00 and 10:00)

    A Dynon, or similar PFD, is only able to report TAS because it's fed air data (pitot/static) along with outside air temp and is privy to pressure altitude, so it has all it needs to calculate TAS. (Like you can do manually - and roughly - on some old style Air Speed Indicators by dialling in OAT against PA). But an EFB - if we're talking portable tablet devices - has no clue as to TAS because it gets no air data.
