OPERATION  CHECKLIST  BEFORE  A TASK  

 

Be certain that the batteries are fully charged 

 

Download the waypoints from the competition organization web site 

 

Upload them on the Digifly Air with the software AirTools (PC) or GpsDump (PC e MAC), or copy them 

transferring the file from one instrument to the other using the direct connection cable. 

 

Edit a route accordingly to the task’s director instruction 

 

Insert correctly the turn points cylinders radius 

 

Insert correctly the start info (entering or leaving) 

 

Insert correctly the start hour  

 

If existing, insert also the ulterior gate time ( how may and when) 

 

In the route page verify that the total distance is corresponding (“Tot dst km”) 

 

Activate the route 

 

Set the barometric altimeter, it is top important because it used also by the glide’s computer. 

 

Before the takeoff, provide to turn on the instrument with the proper advance to acquire the proper GPS 

position  

 

After the GPS point acquisition, verify that the time is correct, in case correct the time zone (pay attention to 

the summer time shift) otherwise the start time will be totally wrong.

 NAVIGATION ROUTE 

To have these info available it has to be activated a route’s navigation. 

12.1

 

  DIRECTION, DISTANCE & HEIGHT ON THE WAYPOINTS 

 

This  function  indicates  the  direction,  distance  and  the  estimated  arrival  height  above  the  current  waypoint 

(H1); the next Waypoint (H2) and the goal’s Waypoint (HA).  

 

The arrival height above the current Waypoint (H1) is computed accordingly of the following info: Altimeter A1, 

distance to Waypoint, Waypoint’s altitude and medium glide ratio. 

 

The medium Glide Ratio is constantly updated during the glide and memorized during the thermal flight, to 

change the GR media calculation time (in seconds) go to (ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 5 EFFA). 

12.2

 

  NEEDED  GLIDE  RATIO  TO  CURRENT  WAYPOINT / NEXT  WAYPOINT / GOAL   

 

It is the estimated needed glide ratio to reach the current waypoint. 

This info is available in all the three screens (Thermal, Glide Compass, and Glide Plotter) using the tools  

“efr1”, “efr2”, “efrA”.
