Flytec 6030-GPS
15 / 62
Upon exceeding the analogue speed scale it shall not be shifted, in this case the upper
position digital display is only valid.
The FLYTEC 6030 GPS is presented in 2 versions:
• Hangglider version with pitot pressure sensor or
• Paraglider version without pitot pressure sensor.
Also on the hangglider a connected wind vane sensor shall always overwrite the pitot tube
display. The wind vane sensor is always given priority.
2.3.2 Speed without Speed Sensor
Frequently hangglider pilots fly without any speed sensor. In this case a calculated
airspeed is determined automatically. This display is the result of a vectorial addition of
wind and ground speed. Caution: wind force data and direction are only available after
the pilot has flown a full circle and they are updated after each new full circle. The
duration of one full circle should be min. 12 seconds or more. The feature Calculated
airspeed may be displayed as user selectable field.
2.3.3 Stall alarm
This Alarm is audible, consisting of a deep tone with short beeps and always with 100%
volume level. In Set-up Menu Basic Settings / Stall speed it is possible to set the speed for
activating the stall alarm, and likewise, the altitude can be set to the point from where up the
alarm is active. If the stall alarm is set to the value of 0 km/h, the alarm is turned off.
The trigger point for the stall alarm is always linked to the indicated airspeed. At higher
altitudes, i.e. in thinner air, the alarm shall be activated earlier (i.e. at higher flying speed)
than for ex. at sea level. It is easy to check this effect on the analogue speed scale by
simply setting altitude A1 for several 1000m higher.
Please read the related article of the appendix.
2.4 Time of day and Date
Caution:
time of day and the date do not need to be adjusted. They are taken automatically
from the GPS-Receiver. However, any time zone difference from UTC (World Time) needs
to be entered with a positive value if the time zone is located East of Greenwich, or a with a
negative value, if it is at the West. Time zones with 0.5h UTC Offset are also adjustable.
Notice:
all internal calculations of the instrument are made in UTC. The local time is just
used as „Time“ display and calculates simply the UTC plus or minus the UTC Offset.
The local time is also binding for the take-off time at Competition Routes.
2.5 Temperature
The instrument needs a temperature sensor for the temperature compensation of sensors,
as well as for the automatic display contrast control. Temperature reading is possible in
degree Centigrade or Fahrenheit. ( Set-up-Menu/ Basic-Settings/ Units )
Caution:
the sensor measures the circuit board temperature. The inside temperature of the
casing may be higher than the ambient air temperature, especially when the instrument is
exposed to direct sunlight.
