Presentation Flytec Alarms Alarms are displayed in the lower two text lines. They will be announced by an unobtrusive beep Sink alarm Max. envelope temperature of the manufacturer reached ( settable in the Basic Settings) Max. envelope temperature personal setting reached CTR – approach 2D Low battery alarm TT34
Presentation Flytec Functions Altitude Alerter A minimum or a maximum altitude alarm is settable. If the balloon goes over or under this thresholds an unobtrusive beep will sound. Additional, a level holder can be set and the instrument sends a signal via an interface, for burner control or autopilot functions. Max Min Level
Presentation Flytec Flight recording Recording starts with 20m altitude change and vario >0.5 m/s for longer than 30 seconds. Recording ends with the ESC key. It is possible to switch off this recognition to record continuously The IGC file contains the track, GND Speed, the envelope temperature and the ambient temperature.
Presentation Flytec Approvals File format of the IGC file is according to FAI IGC standard. Altimeter according FAR Part 43 App E or TSO-C10b Variometer according TSO-C8b AS394A or TSO-C8d
