The

 

Cambridge

 

302

 

is

 

a

 

great

 

companion

 

to

 

the

 

ClearNav.

  

The

 

following

 

data

 

can

 

be

 

received

 

from

 

the

 

302:

 

•

 

Vector

 

Wind

direction)

 

and

 

Real

 

Time

 

Headwind

 

can

 

be

 

displayed

 

on

 

the

 

map

 

screen.

 

The

 

Vector

 

Wind

 

is

 

used

 

for

 

final

 

glide

 

(as

 

the

 

auto

 

wind)

 

if

 

it

 

is

 

available.

 

The

 

wind

 

information

 

supplied

 

by

 

the

 

302

 

is

 

a

 

little

 

more

 

accurate

 

and

 

can

 

be

 

calculated

 

when

 

cruising

 

as

 

well

 

as

 

when

 

circling

 

by

 

comparing

 

the

 

True

 

Airspeed

 

to

 

the

 

GPS

 

measured

 

speed

 

and

 

direction.

  

Without

 

the

 

302

 

the

 

ClearNav

 

calculates

 

wind

 

using

 

wind

 

drift

 

while

 

circling.

  

To

True

is

 

used

 

for

 

the

 

total

 

energy

 

final

 

glide

 

computation.

  

When

 

not

 

connected

 

to

 

a

 

302,

 

the

 

airspeed

 

is

 

calculated

 

using

 

the

 

measured

 

wind

 

and

 

ground

 

speed.

 

The

 

Cambridge

 

302

 

can

 

be

 

connected
