range of the vertical axis is automatically adjusted in order to accommodate the gained height. In
reality the altitude graph element is a plot of the absolute altitude over the last 4 minutes of flight
(Figure
3.12 ).

3.1.8 Wind Arrow
The Wind Arrow element (Figure 3.13 ) is a re-sizable graphical element.
Figure 3.13: Wind Arrow Element
When used in a layout an arrow is draw showing the wind direction relative to the pilot direction
(direction the wind is coming FROM). For example, if the pilot is facing the wind then the arrow
points south (bottom of the screen). Centered over the arrow is a circle in which a number is
displayed showing the wind speed in Km/h (Figure
3.14 ). The wind speed value can be also seen
in a data field.
Figure 3.14: Wind Arrow
Note that both wind direction, and speed, are calculated based on the GPS ground speed while
the pilot is turning, so there is no need of wind speed probe.
