cannot be used with a paraglider ).
The Flytec 5030 GPS is offered in two different versions:
For hanggliders with a built in pitot sensor
For paragliders without this sensor
If you plug into a Flytec 5030 GPS with pitot sensor the wind vane sensor , only the speed of
the wind vane will be displayed.
1.5 Speed without speed sensor
Many paraglider pilots fly without any speed sensor. In this case, a user selectable field can
display a Calculated Air Speed. This issue is calculated by a vector operation of ground
speed and wind.
Note: The wind vector only is available after flying some full circles and it is updated with
every following circle during the flight. The duration for one circle should be longer than 12s.
The calculated air speed always is a true air speed.
1.6 Stall Alarm
The speed for activating the stall alarm can be adjusted in the Basic Settings, and likewise,
the altitude can be set to the point from where up the alarm is active. If the stall alarm is set
at the lowest adjustable value of 0 km/h (mph), it is turned off. The trigger point for the stall
alarm is always linked to the indicated airspeed. At greater altitudes i.e. in thinner air, the
alarm will be activated earlier (i.e. at a higher flying speed) than at sea level. The new
analogue scale allows to test this effect very easy by adjusting the height Alt1 at some 1000
m higher.
(Please refer to: 5.1 Stall Alarm in the appendix).
1.7 Acoustics and Volume Level
Each time the key /Menu is pressed briefly, the volume level is increased by 25%. The
adjustable sound levels are: 0- 25% - 50% - 75% - 100% - 0. The value of the chosen
volume level is displayed on the status line.
Automatic volume control: The basic setting levels 25%, 50%, and 75% will be slowly
increased automatically once the airspeed exceeds 40 km/h (25 mph). It is impossible for the
volume to exceed 100%.
The following settings can be made in the menu under 'Basic Settings /Vario tone'.
Ascent Freq: The ascent acoustics start at a climb rate of 0.1m/s at a 'frequency modulated
interval' tone (peep, peep, peep,) whereby the pitch and frequency increase rhythmically the
faster one climbs. The pulse/pause ratio is 1:1.
AscentF
Beep frequency The basic frequency will be heard when the vario is at 0m/s, except
when it is suppressed at the starting point.
