H520 Vertical Speed
Airspeed is the delta/difference between the ground speed and wind speed.
On a perfectly calm day with no wind, airspeed is equal to ground speed. If the
wind is blowing in the same direction that the aircraft is moving
(tail wind)
, the
airspeed will be less than the ground speed. If the wind is blowing towards the
aircraft
(headwind)
, airspeed will be greater than ground speed.
TIP!
If immediate log information is needed for sharing, the display may be screen-captured
with current compass bearing, Lat/Lon, etc by pressing and holding the Screenshot icon
for three seconds, found at the center bottom of the multi-function display. Images are
stored in the Pictures/Screenshot folder on the ST16S. These images may be emailed
directly from the ST16S (if connected to WIFI), downloaded to a card, or stored off to a
thumbdrive.
