Safety information
The
XC-Trainer
is equipped with an advanced 20 channel GPS receiver. With sufficient
satellite coverage this will guarantee very high position accuracy.
Maps with inaccurate altitudes, incorrect altitude settings (pilot error) or simple instrument
defects may lead to erroneous altitude indications. The pilot should always fly based on
their own sound judgement and skills, and not rely solely on any instrument. This is
particularly the case when flying with reduced visibility or when landing.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage incurred due to erroneous altitude or position
indication by the instrument.
Consulting or even working with, the instrument should only be done when the situation
allows it – otherwise please rely on the acoustic signals.
The
XC-Trainer
must be mounted in a way that does not endanger neither pilot nor
tandem passenger (if applicable) in any way. Always make sure the XC-Trainer is
mounted so that it does not impede the pilot’s movements in the air on when
launching/landing. Finally it is important to check that neither instrument nor part thereof
may come loose, fall down and possibly hurt someone during the flight.
The
XC-Trainer
should always be secured using the safety lanyard,
see illustration.
Before launching the pilot should verify that the instrument is working and that the
rechargeable battery has sufficient power to last the entire flight.
The
XC-Trainer
is spray-proof but not waterproof. Should water manage to find it’s way
into the instrument we recommend opening the instrument and removing the batteries
immediately. Then the innards may be dried carefully with a hair dryer (never attempt to
dry in a microwave oven!). Should the instrument become flooded with seawater it must be
thoroughly rinsed with fresh water before drying. Following this a comprehensive check at
AIRCOTEC
is then required.
You use the
XC-Trainer
at you own risk. The manufacturer is not liable for damage or loss
resulting from the use of the instrument, or the software included in the package.
