3.4.4.2 XT Error, Crosstrack Error
This field indicates the shortest distance (perpendicular to the Track in relation to a map view)
to the active leg of a Route.
The accuracy of the displayed value depends on the length of the active leg. The largest inaccuracy
arises in the centre between start and the next Waypoint if one is very close to the track (the
angles become very flat). With 50 km distance between start and Waypoint, the inaccuracy in the
centre can reach up to 400 m.
Positive values are displayed if one is on the right side of the track, negative values when being on the
left of the track. Even when one has flown over the next Waypoint, the distance to the straight line is
displayed (see pos. 3)
3.4.5 Flight duration
The take off time is automatically recorded. The flight start time is perceived as soon as the
instrument has diagnosed a difference in height of about 30m upwards or downwards, or if the
speed over ground has been measured with more than 10 km/h since min. 60s.
For this purpose the GPS needs to be activated. In case the GPS-Receiver has no or only
poor reception quality, only the difference in height of about 30m is valid as criteria for flight recording.
Moreover, only flights which are lasting more than 3 minutes, are log recorded.
The flight time can be displayed in the user selectable fields. The unit will also recognize
autonomously the end of the flight. It is the basic condition for the end of the flight that neither
speed over ground has been measured with more than 10 km/h during min. 60s, nor that the
Vario pointed to more than 0.1 m/s. In Basic-Settings one can select instead of automatic flight recording
the manual procedure.
