7 Flight Memory and Flight Analysis
In contrast to previous models, the recording mode does
not need to be specifically activated as each flight is auto-
matically saved.
The flight logging system used in the
COMPETINO
registers not only the flight altitude and speed, but also
records (while the GPS receiver is on), the time, the
position in the WGS84 co-ordinate system, the GPS
altitude and flight speed (air speed).
The value set in the
Basic Settings / Record-Interval
determines the time interval in seconds after a new data
record is written to the
COMPETINO
’s memory.
A scan rate of 1 second is advisable for tests or aerobatics
flights. It is recommended to use a record interval between
5 and 10 s. Circles are still visible without producing too
much data. The factory setting is 10 seconds.
The start of the flight is recognized as soon as the ground or airspeed reaches at least 10
km/h for more than 5 seconds. In each case, however, the previous flight history with up to
20 recording points is logged in the
COMPETINO
’s memory.
Even the last 3 minutes before the start of the logged flight
can be recognized as they are recorded with a 10 second
recording interval. The end of a flight is recognized if there
is no movement for 60 seconds and no change in altitude
(the flight analysis is then displayed). The digital signature is
calculated from this moment on and a notice in the Infor-
mation Field draws attention to it. Please wait until the
calculation is completed. You can return to standard mode
by pressing the
Esc
key briefly.
If manual recording is chosen, recording begins 1 minute
after the instrument is switched on and continues until the
Esc
key is pressed for 3 seconds. The unit prompts: “Do
really switch off?” Confirm with
Enter
. The digital signature
will then be generated (which can take 1 or 2 minutes). Wait
until this is done and press any key to turn the unit off.
Take into account that modifying
Alt1
cannot be done after
recording starts. The user field “
Fl. time
” starts counting at
the beginning of a recording phase.
Flight Memory is situated in the first position of the
Main
Setup Menu
. If you press the
Enter
key, the list of flights
(stored according to date) appears. The most recent flights
are in the first positions. The length of the flight is also
shown. With the
or
key you can move through the list
and choose the desired flight with the
Enter
key. Individual
flights can be deleted from the list by pressing
F2
(
Del Flg
).
The flight, with its benchmark figures, is indicated in the
Flight-Analysis
(see sample to the right).
Brief press at
F1
shows the flight in the Map-mode.
A press at
F2
recalculates the Digital Signature.
