1.8.3 Flight time
The take off time is automatically recorded. Recording of data and the clock for the flight
time start as soon as the speed over the ground or through the air reaches a reasonable
flight speed and altitude difference. The condition for starting the record is a ground speed of
more than 10km/h for at least 60seconds or an altitude difference of 30m within 60 seconds.
The GPS receiver must be active and must have satellite reception. If the GPS receiver is
switched off, only the 30m altitude difference are necessary. Only flights with a duration of
more than 3 minutes will be recorded in the log book.
The flight time can be displayed in the user selectable fields. The unit will also recognize the
end of the flight. The end of a flight is reached if the speed is lower than 10km/H and the
vario is lower than 0.1m/s for 60s. In basic settings you can choose between manual and
automatic start and ending of flight recordings. (Also see 3.2 - Flight Memory.)
1.8.4 Track and Bearing
As is the convention with GPS receivers, the Track is defined as the route of the aircraft
over ground. Geographic true North is always 0 or 360 degrees (East 90, South 180, West
270 degrees). The bearing is the direction to a specific destination or waypoint from the
aircraft, expressed in the same way as above.
Note: A Tracklog is the result of recording many different position points during a flight.
