Barograph (flight recording)
IQ-Competition instruments also have an on board barograph. The local altitude must be
keyed in prior to starting a recording since FAI regulations specify that
the altitude may not
be readjusted after the barograph has started .
The recording is started by pressing and holding the key; at the same time, the flying
time is reset to zero. The instrument will respond with a beep and the “Flight” symbol will
start to flash. The memory of the instrument not only records the altitudes but also your
speed. The recording interval (scan rate) be selected by the user in
setting mode no.2 (1 - 5 -
15 - 25 sec). 83 hours of flight can be saved at the 15 sec. interval setting. For acro - or
measurement flights, we recommend recording at the 1 sec. rate.
Barogram of a flight
Inserting a marker in the barogram
If the key is pressed while actively recording a flight, your Competition instrument
will respond with a double beep. A marker is inserted into the barogram, which - during
subsequent printer or PC output - creates a link with the moment when the marker was set
(photograph or waypoint).
If a GPS receiver was connected to the flight instrument, the coordinates of the position are
also saved. A maximum of 15 positions can be marked per flight. When printed out on a
printer, the positional data is printed out immediately after the barogram. The coordinates
cannot be transferred to a PC.
Deleting all recorded flights
First switch to memo mode to delete the memory. Flight no. 0 must be displayed. Press and
hold the two keys
and at the same time together for approximately. 4 sec; the
instrument will respond with a beep to indicate that all the saved flights have been deleted.
Time and date can only be adjusted when the memory is empty. We recommend deleting
the memory from time to time. When the memory is full, the message “Memo Overflow”
will appear when the flight log is printed out. If recording is continued, the oldest flights will
be overwritten. There is not much point in recording a long flight at 1 sec. intervals. The
memory will be full after a few hours and the current flight will also be deleted.
