FLIGHT LOG OR LESSON LOG
Perhaps one of the most useful features of the Stratomaster Ultra instrument is the ability to
record a flight log. Using one of several methods, the Stratomaster Ultra will record flight details
suitable for entry into a flight and engine log.
You can setup your Stratomaster Ultra to record a log entry in one of the following ways:
1. Automatic flight log. This will automatically detect the start of a flight and end of a flight.
The unit uses engine revs in combination with airspeed to detect a flight. This is the way
most pilots prefer to operate the Stratomaster Ultra.
2. Manual flight log. In this case the pilot manually starts a flight and ends it. This mode is
used mainly if no rev counter input to the instrument is available.
3. Instructor mode. In this case the log is used to record “lessons” rather than “flights”. A
lesson is started by the instructor or automatically if setup accordingly and lesson time is
accumulated according to the instruments lesson mode setup. A single lesson may
consist of more than one flight.
The Stratomaster Ultra will log all flights/lessons of longer than one minute. Any lessons or flights
with less than one minute accumulated time are not stored in the log.
The Stratomaster Ultra will store the last 224 flights or lessons in the log.
The log can be viewed at any time. Please also note that the log may be downloaded to a PC
using a direct cable connection or key-ring download device (optional extras).
The following information pertaining to a flight/lesson will be logged:
•
=
Date (DD/MM) of take-off
•
=
Take-off time or Lesson Start time.
•
=
Flight or Lesson time. Displayed in either hours and minutes or hours and fraction of
hours depending on setup.
•
=
Highest altitude reached (In ft or meters depending on setup)
•
=
Maximum airspeed obtained. Displayed airspeed depends on whether ASI or TAS is
selected. (Displayed in kilometers, miles or knots depending on setup).
•
=
Hobbs meter reading at end of flight/lesson (Displayed in either hours and minutes or
hours and fraction of hours depending on setup)
•
=
Student number (Instructor mode only)
