WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION INDICATION USING GPS
The wind speed and direction are automatically calculated, displayed and stored at
different altitude ranges using GPS.
During flight the Digifly Leonardo recognizes if you are flying rectilinear or turning using
the GPS Direction (“TRK”) and the GPS ground speed (“Gs”) values.

TURNING
For the Digifly Leonardo to determine the wind speed and direction, you should
make a “normal” turn, that is neither too tight, nor too wide.
It is also important to maintain constant airspeed during the turn.
For an accurate calculation, a 360º turn must be completed.

RECTILINEAR FLIGHT
On the Glide Compass display screen and the Glide Plotter display screen, the flag
icon shows you the wind direction.
