HSI GRAPHICS INDICATION
A new instrument on the Glide Plotter Display screen for a fast and intuitive navigation.
It is a dotted cross hair that dynamically and automatically tells you your vertical and
horizontal track error related to the current waypoint WP1 (altitude range +/- 300mt)
(bearing range +/- 60°) . Note that this function is not activated if the current waypoint
is the Start Pilon.
For optimal navigation the cross hair have to be at the same point of your current
position icon.

LAST THERMAL INFORMATIONS (WITH GPS)
Indicates the direction “brt”, distance “dstT”, required efficiency “ertT” and gain altitude
“A3” to the last thermal.
To set the thermal detection parameters, go to (ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 2 THEV) and
(ADVANCED SETUP \ n. 3 THET) to adjust the time over which a change in height is
required for detection of a thermal.

DIRECTION, DISTANCE AND HEIGHT TO WAYPOINTS
This is a powerful feature that displays the direction, distance and the estimated height
of arrival over the current Waypoint (H1); next Waypoint (H2) and the Arrival Waypoint
(HA). To view this data a Route has to be activated.
The height over the current Waypoint (H1) is based on the following information:
Altimeter A1, Distance to Waypoint, Waypoint Altitude and Average Glide Ratio (ground
related).
The Waypoint Altitude has to be included in the Waypoint name in the format:
-
aaaNNN or edited when a mark position is stored.
-
aaa = 3 alphanumeric characters with the name of the Waypoint.
