Press the
ENTER key to select. The 'Enable/Disable' screen
displays.
Using the arrow keys, navigate to the GPS tracking setting
required:
Always Track
enables GPS tracking so that the DZM will
automatically send tracking messages at the configured rate
as long as it has a valid GPS lock and periodic messages are
enabled and the aircraft is in the air. When on the ground,
the DZM will switch from the configured periodic reporting
rate to sending position messages at a fixed 20 minute
interval.
Track in Flight
enables GPS tracking so that the DZM will
produce tracking messages only while the aircraft is in flight,
has a valid GPS lock and periodic messages are enabled.
Periodic messages will be disabled while the aircraft is on the
ground.
The DZM can be configured to determine whether an aircraft
is airborne based on speed and/or a digital input connected to
a squat or collective switch. If none of these settings are
configured, the unit will operate as if in a permanent ‘airborne’
state, in which case, both the
Always Tracking
and
Track
in Flight
settings will have the same effect of permanently
enabling GPS Tracking.
Tracking Suspend
disables GPS tracking for the current
flight only. GPS tracking will automatically be re-enabled when
the DZM is next powered up. On power-up, tracking will
recommence according to the preconfigured settings.
If a user selects
Tracking Suspend
and the previous setting
was
Tracking Off
, then on power-up, the GPS Tracking
setting will be set to
Track in Flight.
Tracking Off
disables GPS tracking until it is manually re-
enabled.
Press the
ENTER key to save
OR
press the
MENU or
CANCEL key to abort the
change.
