Operation Manual FLYTEC 6040 GPS 23

2.3 Speed

Apart from Vario and Altitude the flight over ground is indeed one of the most decisive messages.

Thanks to the GPS, the speed over ground can be displayed accurately. The 6040 instrument has

two speed indication systems which operate independent from each other.

2.3.1 Wind vane sensor

The wind vane sensor is one of the speed system of the 6040. The 6040 has an entry for reading

out electronically the speed datas, which are measured by the vane sensors.

Advantage of this system: Wind vane sensors already start measuring wind from 1 km/h very

accurately. Theses sensors are very ideal to measure already small wind speeds at the start

Site. (wind vane sensor system optional)

The wind speed display can be adjusted for each sensor via a correction factor: The factory set

value is 100 %..

Main Setup Menu -> User settings -> Speed -> setting wind vane sensor

The wind vane sensor measures the true air speed.

2.3.2 GPS Speed

In case no wind vane sensor is used, the GPS speed over ground is indicated in the speed display.

Speed readings are analogue, as well as digital. The user

may select in

Main Setup Menu -> User Settings -> Speed ->

Speed Mode, if he prefers the reading as True or Indicated

Airspeed. Regardless of which sensor type is used, on

the COMPEO+ both speed readings are visible. In the same

Menu item the pilots of paragliders may set a lower display

range of 20 ...60 km/h on the analogue scale. (factory setting

is 30 ... 90 km/h)

Upon exceeding the analogue speed scale it shall not be

shifted, in this case the digital display upside the analogue

scale is only valid.

2.4 Time of day and date

Notice: time of day and the date do not need to be adjusted. They are taken automatically from the

GPS-Receiver. However, any time zone difference from UTC (World Time) needs to be entered

with a positive value if the time zone is located East of Greenwich, or a with a negative value, if it is

at the West of it. Time zones with 0.5h UTC Offset are also adjustable.

This setting is entered with Main Setup Menu

⇒

Instr. Settings

⇒

Time zone.

Important: all internal calculations of the instrument are made in UTC (Coordinated Universal

Time). The local time is just used as „Time“ display and calculates simply the UTC plus or minus

the UTC Offset.

For the take-off time at Competition Routes the local time is binding.
