• Continuous audio signal in + possible (other kinds of signals can be chosen, see setup)
• No audio at correct speed (dead band).
2.3.4 Final glide calculation
The final glide calculator calculates the final glide altitude difference to the selected point (APT, TP). In the task
mode the final glide is always calculated from the current position, round all uncompleted turn points to the goal. A +
indication will inform the pilot that the glider is above the final glide slope and vice versa. The final glide takes into
account Mc setting, wind, bugs and safety altitude.
2.4 Flying with the LX 7007 PRO IGC
To get the best out of the LX7007 PRO IGC, it is important that some preparation is done prior to the flight - trying to
configure the instrument or set up a task while flying the glider may spoil your whole day! Pre-flight preparation will
ensure that the flight will be both successful and enjoyable.
2.4.1 Switching ON and selecting pilot
Pressing the ON/START button will switch on the LX 7007 PRO IGC. The instrument will go through the initialization
phase and stop on the pilot selection. On selecting the pilots name and pressing enter it will continue the initialization
until the Set Elevation menu (entering elevation of the take off airfield) is reached. If the instrument has not previously
been programmed, the pilot name selected will be 'UNKNOWN' and it will go straight to the Set Elevation page.
Single pilot option
If only one person flys the glider, then only his name should be programmed into the instrument through FLIGHT
INFO. The LX 7007 PRO IGC will then show the name of the pilot during the initialization procedure and switch
automatically to the Set Elevation page.
Multipilot option
Up to 30 pilots can be stored in the pilot list of the LX 7007 pro IGC. The first pilot has to be entered into the FLIGHT
INFO and then copied into the pilot list via ADD PILOT TO LIST (Y). Further pilots can be registered under
SETUP / PILOTS with INSERT through Flight Info at any time. Pilots, who want to have their individual settings
saved, should use EDIT (under SETUP / PILOTS) function. In addition to the name, the settings can be protected by a
personal password of up to four characters.
After the initialization routine, all pilots are selectable using the UP/DOWN selector and pressing ENTER. If the
cursor remains on the first letter of the pilot name, it indicates that more than one pilot name is stored and selection
becomes obligatory. The pilot name 'UNKNOWN' is always available and can be selected, in which case the
FLIGHT INFO settings of the last flight will be used. After the pilot has been selected, his last individual settings will
be recalled. If the pilot has protected his data with a password, he must enter it now
Note!:
The elevation of the finish point is imported from the TP database into the final glide altitude difference. If this
elevation is incorrect, or is set to zero, and the altimeter is set to QNH, then the final glide will be in error.
It is therefore important that the elevation of the goal is correctly entered in the TP database.
The safety altitude (reserve) input does not affect the glide difference indication which should be 0 m/ft during the
final glide. It simply means that the glider will arrive over the goal at the selected safety altitude.
