Flight Recorder Management
The flight recorder doesn’t need any special
care as it works nearly automatically without pilot assistance. All
the pilot should do is to adapt the logger settings, see the Setup page / Logger menu chapter.
19.1
Start and Stop of flight recording
The unit will start recording immediately after start conditions are met. Start conditions are based on ground
speed and altitude change, so even if the GPS status is bad during takeoff, the unit will start recording.
It is recommended to switch the unit on a few minutes before takeoff. This will ensure a straight base line of
baro trace (IGC regulation). Running time before takeoff will not reduce memory space of the flight recorder,
due to circular recording before takeoff.
After landing the unit will close the flight after approximately 10 minutes at standstill , so it is recommended to
keep the unit under power and GPS OK until the Calculating Security message appears on the display. To
determine if the flight recorder has closed the flight, goto logbook/statistic page. If the Logbook appears, the
recording has finished, if the statistic page appears, the recorder is still active.
19.2
Flight evaluation
To check the flight data integrity use the IGC shell program. IGC shell is an IGC freeware program specially
designed to verify the flight record integrity. Use the latest LXN.dll file to validate LX Eos flights. Latest
version of LXN.dll is available on
