The following parameters are calculated by the GPS:
Track (TRK)
Bearing to the way pint (BRG)
Groundspeed (GS)
Distance to the way point (DIS)
Estimated time of arrival at the way point (ETA)
Estimated enroute time to the way point (ETE)
Selected course to the way point (DTK, desired track)
1.5 Flight computer
The flight computer in DX 50 calculates the glider’s course deviation drawn on the actual distance from the next
way point under consideration of the security altitude entered in the SETUP program. On the display the digital
value of the quantitave glider’s course deviation is indicated (for instance - 320m).
For wind calculation (direction and speed) five different options are available, which can be selected in all navigati-
onal programs.
The wind component, which is necessary for the flight is automatically calculated and considered.
For the geknickte flights it is possible to enter the last turn point also as check point. In this case the glider’s course
isn’t calculated to the next turn point, but over the check point to the finish line. This is necesarry when the last turn
point is very close to the finish line , and so the final glide altitude can be reached before the last TP.
When the glider departs from the finish line, the necessary altitude for the safe return is calculated considering the
actual wind component and entered safety altitude.
When the GPS during the flight for 60 seconds or longer recieves no signal, turns the computer automatically tradi-
tional distance calculation on. The last from GPS calculated distance to selcted way point is then used as the strting
point.
1.6 Flight path recording
The flight path recorder in the DX 50 automatically records all position data of the airplane (position, altitude, va-
rio). The recording is repeated every 20 seconds by the DX 50, by the DX 50 FAI the recordings are repeated acor-
dingly to the preseted interval in the LOGGER setup. The data can be read out by a PC or notebook, stored or even
printed. Nach dem Einschalten wird die Speicherkapazität gezeigt die von Setup (DX 50 FAI) abhängig ist.
