10.5 Data Transfer
All data entered by the pilot, including waypoints, routes, pilots names, etc. as well as the
automatically recorded track log points of the flights undertaken by him/her are in the
memory of the Flytec 5020. Each track log point contains the time, position, GPS altitude,
barometric altitude as well as the flight speed. In this way, it is possible to graph the
barogram, variogram, speed gram and course of the flight on a map for later evaluation.
Recently, evaluation programs have been made available which are able to depict the flight
in its appropriate landscape on a computer screen in 3D. In Flychart 4.52 it is possible to
show the flight in 3D on a realistic landscape on Google Earth
10.6 Data Exchange via PC
The 5020’s basic equipment includes a data cable for a serial PC interface (9 pol Sub D
plug). Data transfer can occur in both directions. The connection occurs with: 57.600 baud; 1
startbit; 8 databit; 1 stopbit; no parity, Xon/Xoff
The following can be read via this RS232 interface:
Serial numbers and pilot names
Waypoint list
Route list
A selected flight (track)
Restricted areas
The following can be uploaded to the 5020:
Waypoints and routes and restricted areas
Important:
the unit must first be switched on before plugging in the connection cable to the
unit and the computer.
Before you transfer the waypoints and route data switch the 5020 to the Setup Menu. You
should make sure that the waypoints show up in the unit’s waypoint list before you transfer a
route from your computer.
If you wish to download flight data, switch the unit to the Flight memory mode, and display
the desired flight on the Flight Analysis screen before transferring it to your computer. There
are a number of PC programs on the market that allow communication with the 5020.
We recommend the program Flychart which you can download from the Flytec Website
