  • 4 AA batteries
  • 2 year warranty
  • Optional PG/HG airspeed sensors and HG Bracket is available

 

Function overview:

 

  • Flight instrument with integrated 16 channel GPS receiver w/internal antenna
  • High resolution, high contrast, graphic LCD display (160 x 240 pixels) with automatic or manual contrast adjustment
  • High precision pressure sensor for a very sensitive variometer
  • Ergonomic two color keypad with easy menu structure
  • Two event driven soft keys allow access to important functions performed without navigating through different menus
  • Audio functions are adjustable over a wide range and can be set to automatically increase with speed.
  • Up to 200 waypoints can be defined.
  • Up to 20 routes, each with 30 waypoints can be stored
  • Automatic pilot notification when a competition cylinder is passed (entry or exit)
  • Indication of direction and distance to the last best lift
  • Automatic indication of wind direction and velocity
  • Automatic start and stop of data logging
  • Variable record interval (1-30 sec) for up to 120 hours of FAI/IGC data logging
  • Scan rate increasing automatically near FAI-sector/turn point with acoustic and visual notification
  • Each track log point records: time, GPS position, GPS altitude, pressure altitude, true airspeed
  • Calculated airspeed (no external sensor required)
  • Input for optional external vane type airspeed sensor for more accurate airspeed
  • Compatible with FlyChart which allows easy set-up of functions as well as download/upload of waypoints, routes and flight tracks. A recorded flight conforms completely to IGC-rules (including the digital signature)
  • Compatible with flight evaluation programs (SeeYou - CompeGPS - Maxpunkte - Trackview - GPSVar - IQ-Online) for posting flights to OLC
  • All user settings can be set using the keypad or FlyChart
  • The integrated final glide computer allows a guided flight to all memorized waypoints, showing the expected height over target and height above best glide
  • The display offers different analog and digital information that the pilot can adjust to his/her own preferences
  • Twelve user selectable fields, including:
    • 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
  • Simulation mode where all features can be tested and simulated
  • Powered by 2 separated battery banks (2 AA Alkaline or NiMH in each bank) providing 2 x 20 hours of use. Automatic battery switch over always allows a complete use of the battery capacity - eliminates half empty batteries!
  • Continuous display of battery status (bank 1&2)
  • ABS housing, aerodynamic with soft edges
  • Dimension: 6.5" x 2.8" x 1.4"
  • Weight: 10 oz. (with batteries, without bracket)
