Figure 79. Red digital needle scale
Figure 80. Blue digital needle scale
The digital needle scale can be set in the
menu to shown one of the following flight
parameters:
•
Vario
•
SC
•
Netto
•
Relative
•
G-force
For more information on how to set the digital needle, check the
part of the manual.
The value, which is being shown by the digital needle, is shown with three letters bellow the
status indicators, shown as ’VAR’ on figure 98.
If the the -5 to +5 m/s vario scale is chosen, and you experience a lift larger than 5 m/s, the
vario needle will go up to the number 5, but the number 5 on the scale will change to the exact
vario value, you are experiencing at that moment, as shown by the two figures above.
The digital needle scale shows two additional parameters:
Speed to fly
and
MacCready
value
set.
The first is represented with a thin green line, which moves along the inner edge of the digital
needle scale. The idea is that the green arc should always be on zero. If it is showing a negative
value, it means you are flying to slow for the current vertical speed value and MacCready value
set, and that you should speed up. Similarly, if the green arc is showing a positive value, it
means you are flying too fast and you should slow down. When abiding to Speed-To-Fly rules
in your flight, in ideal conditions, the green arc is not visible.
The latter shows the current MacCready value set and is represented with a yellow dot with
black outline. If the dot is positioned on the 2 m/s value, it means your current MacCready
value is set to 2 m/s.
