Flytec 5020 technical manual

The example shows an aircraft with lift/drag ratio 8. The necessary lift/drag ratio to the goal
is 6.3. The aircraft symbol is around 2.3 units above the point of best glide.
The strategy is, to hold the symbol in the crossover during the final glide. In order to hold
something reserve, experienced pilots will fly rather above the point of best gliding. During
thermalling the symbol remains in the center. As long as the deviation is larger than approx.
20 lift/drag ratios, the symbol appears grey in the center. Below that margin, the symbol
disappears to approximately 20 lift/drag ratios deviation. With approximately 6 lift/drag ratio it
appears then again from down in the window. If it comes upward over the delimitation, it
appears again grey.
A small arrow appears ^ above with the increase as a heading assistance, if track and
bearing are within +/- 10°. When sinking the arrows < ^ > indicate a recommendation, where
one should hold. If the symbol leaves the range of approximately plus minus 60°, the symbol
is grey again. One should switch then with the Esc key to the Vario screen, in order to see
the compass with the direction markers.

1.7 Basic Settings
A series of settings permit the unit to be programmed according to the user’s wishes. Every
pilot can realize his/her own ideas. If too much information bogs you down and causes
confusion, it is always possible to reset the unit at Basic Settings/ Init EEPROM, which are
the manufacturer’s tested basic settings. You are basically starting again.
But please note!
All WP and routes will be a deleted too. As a minimum, settings possible
and default values set will be shown at the setting points. Should these values be changed,
you move to the change mode by pressing Enter. The value to be changed will blink and can
be modified with the help of the ▼ and ▲ keys. Pressing the Enter key confirms the new
value. Pressing the ESC key recalls the previous setting.
