FLYTEC 3030 Barogroph: Procedure for offi cial FAI observers
1. The observer must familiarize himself with the instrument for a period of a least 1 hour.
2. At the take-off site, the observer must note the pilot‘s name and the type and serial number of instrument to be used. He must verifv that the case is
intact and un damaged. He must inspect both FLYTEC seals on the back of the unit and ensure that they are in place and undamaged. Please see the
drawing at the end of the text.
3. The observer must switch the instrument on and check that the time, the date and the take-off altitude have been set correctly. lf any of these values are
incorrect, the observer must set them to the correct value. Change to set mode by pressing the desired key for approx. 4 seconds.
How to check the time and date:
Step 1: Real time is shown in the lower display sector TIME.
Step 2: Changeover to DATE is done by continuously pressing the TIME key.
Step 3: Hour(s) and minute(s) are shown.
Step 4: Acknowledge by pressing the TIME key.
Step 5: Day and month are shown.
Step 6: Acknowledge by pressing the TIME key.
Step 7: The year is shown.
Step 8: Acknowledge by pressing the TIME key.
ATTENTION: The real time clock and the date can no longer be altered when the barograph recording has been activated with the REC switch. These
two functions can only be reset when the memory has been cleared (q.v. user manual BARO GRAPH: Clearing),
4. The observer must switch the barograph on (REC).
5. The observer must continuously observe the pilot until take-off and verify that the pilot takes off with the instrument. The observer must note the exac
time of take-off using an independant timepiece.
6. After landing, the pilot must set the REC switch and the instrument to OFF.
7. Printout: The observer must verify that the instrument displays the correct time and date and note any discrepancies with respect to local time.
The observer must verify that the instrument is intact. He must also inspect both seals and ensure that they are undamaged. He must ensure that the
instrument is connected directly to the printer by a single cable. The observer must also verify that nothing else is connected to the printer, e.g. an
additional cable or instrument. Connection of the printer to the electrical mains is, however, permissible. The observer must verify that the printer
paper is blank.
8. The observer starts the printout of the fl ight record and verifi es that ihe instrument number printed out is identical with the number noted at take-off.
The observer must also verify that the time of take-off and the date in the printout agree with bis records. The observer must be present during the
entire printout procedure. When the printout is fi nished, the observer must remove the entire printout from the prin ter and add the date and his own
signature.
FAI: Each FLYTEC 3030 is supplied with two factory -fi tted FLYTEC seals which must be undamaged for FAI fl ights. lf the instrument has been opened
or if the seals have been damaged, the instrurnent must be returned to the factory for checking and resealing.
The observer must ensure that FAI regulations are adhered to (q.v. «Procedure for offi cial F.A.I. observers»)
