between Speed to Fly pointer, McCready-pointer and the acoustics which may be set as in
standard flight mode.
The softkey F1 is used to change to different functions:
Next Func.
Var ▲▼ Spd ►◄ to change Climb / Sink Air- + Ground-Speed
Next Func. Wind ▲▼ Trk ►◄ to change Ground-Speed and flight direction
Next Func. Mod Alt1 ▲▼ Modify altitude Alt1 (always possible here)
Next Func Mod Alt2 ▲▼ Modify altitude Alt2
Next Func. Empty For switching of P1, P2, P3
Likewise, the Goto function can be called up to select a waypoint. The distance to this
waypoint appears. If the direction arrow in the middle of the compass points upwards, the
pilot is moving towards his goal and the distance to WP becomes smaller while at the same
time the altitude naturally decreases. If you now initiate a climb with the
key, the
FLYTEC 6030 GPS simulates circling up in a thermal; the compass rose turns and the
distance to goal continuously changes between somewhat closer and somewhat farther
away.
Under simulation mode you also can test the different acoustic adjustments as frequency,
pitch and modulation during a virtual climbing.
With: Next Func.
Wind ▲▼ Trk ►◄ one can change by use of the ▲▼ keys the
Speed over Ground, i.e. simulate the Wind influence. When using the ◄ and ► keys it is
also possible to change the flight direction, e.g. to fly directly to a WP.
One can also retrace perfectly in simulation a called-up route. If you select the route as
Competition-Route, you will hear the characteristic tone “Waypoint reached” upon
approaching within 400 meters of the waypoint, which tells you, that you are inside the
cylinder. Furthermore, you can see the automatic switchover to the next WP too. (Caution:
for automatic switch-over the count down timer shows positive values).
By pressing the ESC key you can switch to map display and observe the approach to the
waypoint cylinder. If one has selected the function
Wind Track with the F1 key, it is real fine
to simulate the influence of head or tail wind during approach to the goal. It is indeed
informative to see the influence of head wind on the arrival altitude
Alt a WP .
Have fun for your experimentation.
During simulation mode the GPS-Receiver is switched-off and instead of its bar graph
appears the word "Simulation".
A simulated flight is well stored into the memory of the FLYTEC 6030 GPS, but the “Digital
Signature” however is not valid.
