FAI-Logger Function
In its capacity as an FAI-Logger, the VOLKSLOGGER continuously and uninterrupted
(as long as there is sufficient memory available, see Chapter
6.1.1. Flight Data Memory
)
records all data relevant to the
FAI/IGC:
•
Position
•
GPS-Altitude
•
Pressure Altitude
•
Engine Run / Noise Level
∗
The data are recorded in certain time intervals, as soon as voltage is supplied. Data will
always be recorded, even if the aircraft does not move and independent of the availability
of GPS-Reception.
The recording happens in the background, independent of the screens displayed,
navigational modes, menus, etc.
The only possibility for the pilot to interact with the recording process is in the
modification of the recording cycle (logging interval
adjustment, definition of the turn-
point observation zone/sector, manual activation of the fast recording, etc.).

Screen Displays
In the operation of the logger you can choose with Key (1) between the main screens:
•
NAVIGATION
•
POSITION-INFO
•
MENU
These screen names will also be used in the subsequent descriptions. On the logger
itself these designations will never be displayed, rather it will be clear from the context,
which screen is active at the time.
In the following text, the particular display screens and the meaning of their indications
are described:
