SET ALT (take off elevation input)
We all know that air pressure changes all the time. After switching ON, the instrument doesn’t know the elevation
and the elevation should be put in.
SET ALT: 0185 m
The pilot has to input his
take off elevation.
The instrument will offer the last airport which was on the top list of
NEAR AIRPORT, if it is OK, the pilot simply has to confirm the offered altitude. QNH setting is not mandatory
(ESC to over jump).
QNH:-------mb
After input of QNH the pilot will be able to offset his altimeter instead of pressure changes during the flight. This
will make his flight and specially his final glide safer. The best way to get actual QNH is meteorological service on
the airfield. The input procedure is as follows:
•
Rotate
v
and 1013 mb will be offered
•
Use ENTER and
v
to adjust actual value

Preflight check
It is hardly recommended to check all settings in setup (only before password) especially if more pilots are flying
the glider. All parameters will remain unchanged after switching off, the only exceptions are:
•
QNH
•
BUGS
•
Ballast if not defined like
set
in setup LOAD
IMPORTANT!
When attempting an FAI badgeflight do not forget to provide „TASK DECLARE“ procedure and transfer
Flight info to Colibri or LX 20.
Declaration during or after the flight is not possible!

How to start the TSK?
Being inside
observation zone
(photosector, beercan etc…) the pilot is able to start the task by pressing
the
START
button briefly.
Immediately after the start is accepted the
navigation data will change to TP 01
. This is the most important signal
that the task has been started.
The pilot is able to
restart the task
at any time. After task start edit menu is increased and the RESTART item is on
the top now.
