DZMx Tracking
The DZMx Plus has an embedded GPS, which provides precise information on position,
heading, altitude and speed. This information can be sent to a tracking provider to
enable the aircraft to be monitored and its movements tracked. To use the DZMx Plus
tracking capability, it is necessary to enter a contract with a tracking service to receive,
process and display tracking information. The DZMx Plus must then be configured to
work with that tracking service.
The DZMx Plus cannot provide continuous tracking due to the constraints of the networks
used but can transmit position reports at regular pre-programmed intervals.
As well as periodic position reports, the DZMx Plus can be configured to automatically
send event reports
–
these are position reports with an event code attached.
Tracking settings can be configured using either the DZMx Plus Control Head tracking menu
or by using DZMx Connect.
Changing Tracking Modes
Tracking can be disabled (until re-enabled) or suspended (for the current flight only).
To suspend or disable tracking:
1.
Using the DZMx Control Head select MENU > Tracking > Tracking Mode > press
ENTER and select one of the following options:
▪
On: Turns tracking on until it is disabled or suspended.
▪
Suspend: Suspends tracking until the DZMx Plus is next powered on
▪
