The unit has four main menus. On power up
the GPS STATUS page is displayed. Pressing
consecutively the right arrow key displays the
NAVIGATION page, then the SETUP menu
and finally the VIEW LOGGER menu. Pressing
the left arrow returns to the previous menu.
When power is applied the Colibri will display the program version followed by the serial number of the
unit and the owner/pilots name for 20 seconds.
GPS STATUS menu - After the initial start up procedure the logger automatically switches to this menu
and commences acquiring satellite fixes. If the aerial is not connected or the aerial is covered by
obstacles, such as buildings, then GPS BAD, SAT = 0 will be displayed. Satellite acquisition time from a
cold start is under 60 seconds. A warm start is typically 30-seconds.
3 NAVIGATION menus – From the GPS STATUS menu pressing the right arrow brings up the 3
NAVIGATION menus ( TP, TSK and APT). This shows bearing, track, distance and the first four letters
of the selected turnpoint or airport. Pressing ESCAPE will cause the glider’s ground speed to be
displayed
in place of the turnpoint’s name. Turnpoints, which are stored in the database can be selected
and also edited as required from this screen. Pressing the right arrow again takes you to the;
SETUP menu - This page is not used during flight. It is normally used prior to the flight to define the
logger and task parameters. All pilot and glider data are defined in this menu. From this menu pressing
the LEFT arrow will return to the Navigation screen or the RIGHT arrow will lead to the VIEW LOGGER
menu.
VIEW LOGGER menu – This is selected for flight analysis after landing. Flights made with the logger are
stored in the unit (up to 100hrs depending on logging parameters) and the information is retained even
when the power is switched off. Flights can be analysed via the Colibri’s screen (after landing) without
the need to transfer flight data to a PC. This menu will not be displayed if there are no flights stored in
the logger.
