Inputs
The Input setup sub-menu refers to the functionalities of the Era closely dependant on
existence and proper use of the Inputs interface. The inputs interface incorporates slots for
5 external micro-switches, connected to the Input port on the Era. These micro-switches can
trigger different functions and commands, as well as warnings.
The following functions are available:
•
SC -
when assigned and triggered, will change the current flight mode. Check
sub-section for additional info.
•
VP -
changes to vario flight mode, no matter which settings are active
•
event -
triggers the event functions, check
section for additional info.
•
gear -
if any of the two gear inputs is selected (straight or inverse), the gear warning will
be applied in the following sense:
–
gear is out detected 10min after take-off and height more than 500m above take-off
location.
–
gear is not out and altitude is less than 200m in 5km circle of take-off location and
flight time is more than 5min.
–
on outlanding (if airbrakes are out, elevation less than 600m QFE, distance from
take-off more than 5km), and gear is not out. Requires the airbrakes switch to be
used.
•
airbrake -
if any airbrake is selected (straight or inverse) gear warning will be announced
as follows:
–
airbrake is out during first 10min of flight (take-off / aero tow time).
•
ballast -
triggers the ballast dump rate function, as depicted in
sub-section.
The Input page requires the use of the
Inputs interface
, shipped along with the Era. We can
see the inputs interface on the picture below.
Figure 72.
NOTE
All input functions have an inverse function as well. Having a straight function will
trigger once the button has been pressed. Utilizing an inverse function will trigger
once the button has been released (useful for air brakes, etc.).
