OPERATIONS MANUAL for TAS V1000 VARIO

14/02/05

INTRODUCTION

This instrument is designed to satisfy a need for a product that utilises
the most current technology to produce the best possible performance at
the lowest possible cost. It accommodates and expands on all the most
important functions of a standard Vario, ie. Audio, current lift/sink rate,
and includes the primary feature of an average display in the same
small package.

Considerable effort has gone into developing an audio tone and pattern
to convey to the pilot the maximum information without being intrusive or
annoying. The result maximizes the pilots lookout time without the need
for visual confirmation of the current climb rate.
