INFO . Analysis

Several pages are of interest:

Barograph : Shows a graph of the history of the altitude of the glider.

Statistics are used to estimate the thermal working band (av-

erage base and ceiling of climbs) and to estimate how the

ceiling is changing over time. The base and ceiling lines are

drawn on the barograph.

The ‘Settings’ button opens the basic settings dialog (e.g. to

adjust the QNH)

Climb history : Shows a bar chart of the average climb rate achieved during

each climb. Statistics are used to estimate the overall aver-

age climb rate, and to estimate how this average is changing

over time. The current MacCready setting is drawn on the

bar chart as a thick red dashed line, and the climb rate trend

is drawn on the chart as a blue line.

The ‘Task calc’ button opens the task calculator, (e.g. to ad-

just the Mc value)
