Below the glide ratio indicator is shown the distance of the Start Line closest to the pilot and its direction.
After the Start and once correctly passed the Start line, these fields can be optionally used for other info on
pilot’s choice.

BASIC FUNCTIONS
5.1
ALTIMETERS
The Digifly AIR features 7 different altimeters: A1, A2, AG, A3, H1, HA.
-
A1: Barometric altimeter.
-
A2: Altimeter A2.
-
AG: Altimeter GPS.
-
A3: Last thermal height gain
-
H1: Estimated height over current WP
-
HA: Estimated height over goal.
5.1.1
ALTIMETERS SETTINGS
Enter in the “ALTIMETERS” menu and select which altimeter to set (A1 or A2).
The A2 altimeter is suitable for general purpose. To reset the A2 altimeter hold pressed the
key from the
PLOTTER or COMPASS pages;
The A3 altimeter is automatically reset while entering in a thermal.
The altimeters can be displayed in meters (mt) or feet (ft). To change the altitude’s unit of measure enter the
setup from (MAIN SETUP \ n. 15 U-AL).
5.2
VARIOMETERS
5.2.1
SUPERFAST INTELLIVARIO
The Intellivario is a revolutionary digital system designed by Digifly, based on sophisticated integrated circuits
combining info coming from the atmospheric pressure sensor joined with the inertial platform data
(accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscopes). This allows to obtain a highly precise and sensible vario,
exempt from radio interferences. All the vario data are subject to this filter.
The Digifly AIR utilizes an extremely sensible pressure sensor and an excellent data acquisition sys providing a
very quick and extremely precise vario (updated 24 times each second).
5.2.2
VARIO SENSIBILITY
Three different electronic filters are available to change the vario’s sensibility. These settings allow the pilot to
get a strong instrument’s customization, to better adapt it to his flight habits and needs.
Filter 1, adjustable in the menu (VARIOMETER SETUP \ n. 10 FLT1), default value 80% , suggested use range
from 70% to 95%, reducing this value makes the vario very sensible to variations.
Filter 2, adjustable in the menu (VARIOMETER SETUP \ n. 11 FLT2), default value 72, suggested use range
