1 Introduction
Although it is perfectly possible, even as a first time user, to just switch-on the FLYTEC 6030
GPS flight instrument and go flying right away, we recommend to first familiarise with the
multi-
faceted functions of the instrument and to study this operation manual. We have seen to it
that the operation manual was kept as succinct as possible, also bearing in mind not to
bother experienced pilots with well known explanations. For all those who want to refresh
their basics, or those who want to learn details about the individual functions and their
background, we have included in-depth descriptions in the appendix. These parts are
referred to in the operation manual. The present user manual shall be made public on our
internet website under reference Service / Downloads / Manuals, in the same way as all the
other manuals of our flight instruments. It is only this publication which is valid in regard to
the latest status and is providing leads about innovations or technically changes. For this
reason we recommend to check our website service from time to time.
The operation program of the FLYTEC 6030 GPS is stored in a so-called Flash-Memory.
Upgrading your instrument’s software to the most recent version may be done from outside
by use of a computer, without any module replacement. The appropriate cable required is
included in the scope of supply.
As for any given electronic instrument, you should protect your FLYTEC 6030 GPS from
excess temperature, hard shock, dirt or water inrush. It is also recommended to mount a
radio-set antenna as far as possible from the flight instrument.
Please look at the illustration on the following page, study the explanations close to the
picture, and then, after having shortly read through the table of contents, go to the
explanations of the instrument’s functions. We introduce for the first time on flight instruments
two so-called software-keys on the FLYTEC 6030 GPS. These are the keys F1 and F2 of
which the function changes in accordance to the actual display mode. For example, after
energising the key F1 may stand for „next function“ and F2 for “adopt 1013hPA or GPS-
Altitude”.
However, in Set mode for waypoints F1 stands for "Insert WP" and F2 for "Delete WP".
The key’s signification is in each case shown on the display.
In order to present the manifold possibilities of the FLYTEC 6030 GPS and also for a better
understanding of gliding flight theory, a simulation mode is included in the FLYTEC 6030
GPS.
Using this feature, it is possible to comprehend artificially just about any situation
encountered during flight. The user may change various settings, such as Climb or Sink, Air
Speed or Speed over Ground, as well as the flight direction and observe their effects on the
other indicators, such as Speed to Fly, McCready-Ring, arrival altitude above goal, distance
to goal etc. The acoustics are also simulated.
