| Barometric
Pressure: Barometric pressure input:
reduced air pressure input at sea level in inches Hg or hPa. Altimeter
adjustment via barometric pressure input. Range of adjustment: 950
mbar- 1060 mbar. Altimeters can be calibrated by the user. |
| Variometer |
| Analog
display: Flytec's patented and well
laid out multi-display with separately colored lift and sink scale
and , continuous twin pass is exceptionally legible. Display range:
± 1,600 ft/min (±8 m/s) with a continuous fine resolution of 40
ft/min. (0.2 m/s). Variometer response rate is user selectable (three
settings). |

| Acoustics:
Twin-tone acoustics with ASI. The point at which the tone will sound
is user selectable. The instrument is fitted with an optional on/off
ascent and descent acoustic system with two volume levels. Rise
acoustics: ascent-dependent interval with increasingly higher frequency
and scale dependent pitch (in 1 m increments). Descent acoustics:
descent tone/descent alarm can be switched on and off separately.
Descent tone to descent alarm with adjustable response points between
-40ft/min and -1600 ft/min in 40ft/min steps(-0.2 m/s and -8m/s
in 0.2 m steps). Descent tone is a continuous tone with an increasingly
lower frequency. |

| Flight
Time Clock: Display of real flying
time. May be displayed during flight or for any recorded flight
in MEMO mode. |
| Flight
Memory |
| Flight
data of the 20 most recent flights is automatically recorded. Automatic
memory administration (oldest data always released for the most
recent recordings).The following peak values are automatically recorded:
maximum altitude 1, maximum altitude 2, maximum vario ascent value,
maximum vario descent value, flight duration and the date of the
flight |
| Option Mode |
| The addition
of the OPTION mode to Flytec's tried and trusted user philosophy
means that you now have three operating modes at your disposal:
RUN mode (normal operating), SET mode
(function adjustment), and OPTION mode (Individual
instrument programming). The latter offers you the ability to configure
your FLYTEC instrument to your own preferences. The functionality
that can be determined in the option mode: vario zero point, vario
sensitivity, vario dampening, averaging interval for digital vario
display, measurement unit for digital vario display (ft/min or m/sec),
ALT 1 in ft. or m, barometric pressure display in inHg or hPa, altimeter
calibration, ALT 2 absolute or relative, ALT 2 in ft or m, stall
alarm threshold, airspeed correction, airspeed units of measure(mph,
kph or knots), turn on-off time display or temperature display,
temperature display units of measure( °F or °C). |
| Power Supply |
| Low current
consumption with two 1.5 volt alkaline batteries (approximately
150 hours). Rechargeable batteries can also be used. Remaining battery
power is displayed during power-up (automatic low battery warning).
No expensive lithium cells, similar to those used in solar instruments,
are used to maintain real-time clock or retain flight memory data!
Data is stored for up to 10 years without batteries! |
| Operation |
| Flytec's operating
concept is based upon a simple, well laid out key allocation. All
keys are clearly and legibly marked for all functions. Adjustments
can be carried out according to a uniform, three step operating
concept. All keys can be operated while wearing gloves and have
a perceptible tactile feel. |

| User
Customizable Audio |
| The 4020XL
features unprecedented control over the vario audio allowing the
pilot to configure the 4020XL to maximize their climbing performance
according to the type of conditions they are flying in.
|
| Audio
Switch of point: In addition to being able to select
the threshold at which the vario audio starts beeping the user can
define a distinct threshold (independent of the switch on threshold)
at which the vario stops beeping. This value can be set between
0 ft/min and 80 ft/min in 4 ft/min increments. |
| Beep
length: The vario beep duration may
be set to the users liking (3 settings) and is selectable with or
without ASI (automatic scale indication). |

the pitch of the vario audio increases. The range over which this
pitch increase is spread is user selectable (4 ranges). |
| Vario
audio excitement rate: As greater lift is encountered
the pitch of the vario audio increases. The rate that the pitch
increase is user selectable (linear and progressive) |

Flytec
4030 XL
Includes all the features of the 4020XL plus the following:
|
| GPS Interface |
| When connected
to a GPS via the NMEA interface (e.g., Garmin GPS 12, 12 Map, GPS
III+, eMap, eTrex series, etc.) the 4030XL will offer the following
functions: Glide ratio display, Optimized speed-to-fly display, Final
Glide Computer. |
| Glide
Ratio Display (actual) |
| When the pilot
leaves a thermal, the instrument instantly and automatically switches
to glide mode and displays actual glide ratio over the ground. Glide
ratio display range up to 199:1. |
| Speed-to-Fly
Display |
| In addition to
providing actual glide ratio information the 4030XL automatically
displays speed-to-fly information. No input or contact by the pilot
is required. In the glide mode the 4030XL will display the next expected
thermal based on the the current airspeed. Rather than fumbling with
the instrument to change the value for the next expected thermal the
pilot merely adjusts the airspeed so the indicator points to the revised
next expected thermal. No contact with the instrument is required
allowing the pilot to focus on more important tasks. The pilot may
configure the 4030XL in the option mode according
to his/her philosophy on thermal drift with the wind (0-100%). |
| Final Glide
computer |
| Glide
Angle to goal: When the final glide
computer is activated (by depressing one key) the 4030XL will display,
in addition to your actual glide ratio over the ground, your current
glide angle to goal. The glide angle to goal is shown with a up or
down arrow to let you know if you are above or below glide slope. |
| Last
Thermal Integrator: As the pilot climbs,
in what will be the last thermal approaching goal, the 4030XL will
alert the pilot the moment that goal is within reach. The 4030XL will
not signal to leave for goal, however, until the pilot climbs to the
optimum altitude. |
| Final
Glide to Goal: When the signal is given
and the pilot leaves for goal the 4030XL will instantly and automatically
switch to final glide mode and will indicate the correct speed to
fly on final glide as well as the continually updated arrival altitude
above or below goal target altitude. If conditions deteriorate on
the final glide and goal is no longer within reach the 4030XL will
instantly and automatically revert to the last thermal integrator
the moment lift is encountered. The final glide head or tail wind
component can easily be entered into the 4030XL during the flight
as the pilot assesses conditions near goal. |
| Performance
polars |
| The barograph
function of the 4030XL can be used to generate a performance polar
for the pilots particular flight configuration - this will take into
consideration the effects of the glider, harness, pilot weight, instrument
placement, etc. When flying according to speed-to-fly theory it is
very important for a pilot to generate his/her own performance polar
and not rely on overly optimistic data from a glider manufacturer
or the erroneous data from well meaning pilots flying the same or
"similar" glider. |
| FlyChart
4.32 Professional for Windows (included) |
| In addition to
all the features of FlyChart standard the professional version, when
used in conjunction with a 4030XL Access,will allow the user to import/
export data, build, manipulate, download and upload performance polars
and advanced control over instrument configuration. Minimum requirement:
a PC running Windows 95 or higher. |
