1.3 Device Overview
The BFI57 is a compact display unit presenting the basic flight
informations in one single unit. Thanks to it’s integrated battery and
sophisticated charge management, besides for minimum instrumentation
it also can be used as aircraft-power independent backup-device for
ultralights with glasscockpits.
The integrated GPS receiver allows automatic QNH determination with
one single key press – if you like, even without any further interaction
whenever powered up, so that pilot’s action can be reduced to switching
on and off.
The automatic timing of the last flight supports the pilot in filling out his
flight log; returning to the home airfield is assisted by displaying direction
and distance.
The output of the pressure derived measurements and GPS positions on
the serial interface allows the use of the device as secondary
(redundant) sensor for glascockpits or other displays.
As the device can be configured for automatic starting whenever power
is applied, it additionally can be used as sensor for automatic flight data
collection; in this case, the device prevents being switched off manually.
