Hey Peter.
Can I borrow your ipad? I think I better try this out.

My honest opinion? crock of ****.

You cannot see what is happening at all, the pilot could just has easily have been controlling that aircraft with his left hand.
As for using the prop as an airbrake, what if you have a fixed pitch prop or the engine has seized?

If it is that good (know where, how high, speed, performance etc etc) then why can it not flare the aircraft over the runway?

As a qualified Commercial pilot, instructor and flight examiner I, for one, am not impressed.

The just try to imagine the regulatory requirements to get that actually fitted and certified to a regular light aircraft.
