Does Avidyne have an application which can be used to take the .csv output of the GPS log and process it into other data formats?

I would like to be able to use this information to get accurate wheels-off/wheels-on times and GPS track data.

It would be really nice if there were also a tool to create a track file which could be imported into other applications like Google Earth as well, but the main thing I am looking for is a tool which will break up the GPS Log into information useful for making logbook entries.

No we don't have any apps for that. I use excel filtering and a crude macro to process the log files when I need to. It's easy to locate specific flights by looking for the power-on events in the logs.

CSV data can be imported directly into many mapping programs or converted for use in such. Just Google what you want to do and a method will come up.

Search the forums. I uploaded some python scripts that will take the data from the flight log (and the system log for altitude, since the useful altitude isn't recorded in the flight log) and generate kml files for each flight found. This was a couple of years ago.

I've been able to take the data and convert it into to a .KML file and upload to google earth to display track information. This was useful when I had a near mid air collision from a VFR pilot departing into IFR during an approach into my airport. I supplied my track information and google earth plot to the FAA during the investigation.
