5.7.1
QNH & RES
Turn the lower rotary knob to select the required entry field. Press the lower rotary knob to
select it and start editing the value. A further short press will enter the value.
5.7.1.1
QNH
This feature may be used to offset the altitude datum as the result of pressure changes
during the flight. Since changing the QNH influences the indicated altitude, care should be
taken when changing the value as an incorrect setting could upset the final glide calculation.
5.7.1.2
Safety Altitude
This setting is the altitude reserve or safety altitude and is the height that the instrument
adds to the final glide altitude required so the glider arrives over the final glide destination at
the selected safety altitude. Once the safety altitude has been specified, the pilot must keep
the final glide indicator on 0 to arrive at the safety altitude (setup one of the navboxes in the
primary or secondary pages of waypoint or task modes to be Arrival Altitude).
5.7.2
Flight Recorder
The S10x vario system has a built-in IGC-approved flight recorder. In this menu the user
can set flight recorder parameters and the pilot’s data.
The S8x version 6 or higher also has a flight recorder which does not have a
digital signature and therefore is not approved for badge flights according IGC
standards.
5.7.2.1
Recording Interval
Set the recording interval from 1 – 20 seconds.
