2.1.3 Altimeter Alt2, Relative Altitude (User field)
The altimeter Alt2 is in any case a difference altimeter. Thus it always displays the difference
compared to such altitude at which it was reset to zero the last time. This function is often
used for measuring the start site raising, or to recognise easily during flight under weak thermal
lift the gain or loss in height.
The A2 readout is displayed in user defined display screen Altitude2.
Example: if Altitude A2 is set at start site to 0 m, then after take-off is always shown in field Altitude2
the altitude value over start site.
2.1.3.1 Setting Altimeter Alt2
a short pressure of the Alt2 >0 the
altitude is set to 0 .
2.1.4 Cumulated Altimeter display (User field Alt Sum)
The user defined field Altitude Sum adds up all meters of ascent cumulated during one flight.
The cumulated altitude is also indicated in the flight analysis.
Tip: If several pilots complete the same flight task, then the one who had the least gain in height (A3)
would have been the best to accomplish the task.
2.1.5 FL Flightlevel Altimeter display (User field FL ft)
The FL altimeter display in feet is not adjustable. The altimeter display is always related to
a QNH-value (air pressure at sea level) of 1013 hPa. This readout is particularly important
for aircraft pilots to whom is assigned a Flight Level by air traffic-controllers during flights in Restricted
Areas.
2.1.6 GPS Altitude display (User field Altitude GPS)
The user defined field Altitude GPS displays the alitude value from the GPS.
