The average thermal climb is indicated in grey within the dual frame of the Analogue Vario,
without McCready acoustic. When McCready acoustic is enabled, the average thermal
climb is presented in black, the part of adjustable toneless gap is however in grey.
The McCready acoustic zero-point makes it possible to fly travel optimised without looking
at the instrument, purely paying attention to the acoustic. If the tone lowers, you need to
speed up and vice versa. The pointer should be kept at the same position. In order to offer to
the pilot additional acoustic help, it is possible to set a toneless gap around the McCready Ring
value at which the McC;/WP was pressed. This means that the pilot always flies correct
according to the desired McCready setting, when the instrument is quiet. The wideness of this
acoustic gap may be set in Setup-Menu – user settings -> McCready. Factory setting here is
+/- 0.3 m/s. In addition, it is possible to enter in the same setting position a delay time in
seconds, which is lasting until the typical McCready sound resumes after leaving a thermal
(with climb acoustic). Factory setting is = 7 sec.
2.7.9 Average Thermal Climb
There are good and not so good thermal days; moreover the average climb even varies
throughout the day. Climbing is generally better at midday than in the morning or the
evening. For this reason the FLYTEC 6030 GPS is provided with a small edge on the Analog
Vario as outer limit. The grey area in this edge indicates the average thermal climb
which is required for the McCready theory. It is solely influenced by the climb and displays
the average value of the last 10 (adjustable) minutes of climbing. The pilot flies then travel
optimised when he keeps the active McCready pointer over the average climb area.
The time constant for the average thermal climb (factory setting = 10 min.) may be adjusted
within the Menu user selectable settings -> Variometer -> day specific climb between 30 sec.
and 10 min.

Fly according to McCready
2.7.10 Flight time
The take off time is automatically recorded. The flight start time is triggered as soon as the
instrument has diagnosed a difference in height of about 30m upwards or downwards,
or if
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 is switched-off only the
difference in height of about 30m is valid as criteria for flight recording. Please also note that
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 deflection of more than 0.1 m/s has appeared. In Basic-Settings you can select instead
of automatic start and ending of flight recordings the manual procedure. Please also read 4.1
flight recording (Flight memory and Flight-Analysis).
2.8 Battery - Management
Two Bargraph scales show the charge state of the batteries. The FLYTEC 6030 GPS is
provided
with 2 battery banks with 2 batteries each. Bank 1 must always be loaded. Bank 2 may be
kept unloaded. However, it is highly recommended to also equip Bank 2. As soon as Bank 1
batteries are discharged, the instrument automatically switches to Bank 2. We recommend
to place the partly discharged batteries of Bank 2 after a long flight into Bank 1 and to place
