Function Overview

  • Total integrated flight instrument with 16 channel GPS receiver.
  • Robust ABS housing, aerodynamic with soft edges
  • High precision pressure sensor for a very sensitive variometer
  • High resolution graphic LC-display 160 x 240 = 38.400 pixel with automatic and manual contrast adjustment, important for map function
  • 2 separate battery banks (2 AA cells each bank) providing 2 x 20 hours of use. Automatic battery switch over allows complete use of the battery capacity eliminating half used batteries!
  • Automatic or manual Start/Stop of flight recording
  • Variable record interval 1... 30 sec allows recording up to 120 hours
  • Continuous display of GPS and battery status
  • connection for optional vane-speed sensor
    • Wind speed
    • Time of day
    • Flight time
    • Speed over ground
    • Calculated airspeed
    • Wind component on course line
    • Altitude over destination
    • Altitude over best glide to goal
    • Distance to destination
    • Distance to goal
    • Bearing
    • Track
    • Distance to best climb in vicinity
    • Ambient temperature (F or C)
    • Altimeter 2 (relative)
    • Altimeter 3 (accumulated altitude)
    • Barometric pressure (HPa/in Hg)
    • Glide ratio through air
    • Glide ratio over ground
    • Glide ratio to waypoint
  • Automatic und manual volume control
  • Memory for 200 waypoints
  • Memory for 20 routes up to 30 waypoints
  • Input of different cylinder radii for a competition route
  • Automatic alarm und switching over to the next WP when crossing the circumference of the actual WP (competition route only)
  • A recorded flight conforms to IGC-rules (including the digital signature) and is fully compatible with popular flight evaluation programs like Seeyou, CompeGPS, Maxpunkte, GPSVar, IQ-Online for declaring flights to the OLC.
  • PC-program FlyChart allows easy set-up functions as well as down- and uploads of waypoints, routes and flight tracks
  • Three different displays pages can be scrolled by the user:
    1- Normal flight with round analog vario scale, Alt1, Speed, and more
    2- Flight to a GPS goal with bar graph vario scale and a graphic final glide calculator. A cross hair shows flight direction and altitude above the path of best glide
    3) Real time map display with track and waypoint names, cylinders; with Zoom In - Zoom Out function
  • Interface cab el to a PC (serial RS232 port)
  • Dimensions: 165 x 70 x 36 mm Weight: 270 g (with batteries/without clamp)
