Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 2.2.7 14 Pre-Thermal Acoustic Threshold Main Setup Menu Variometer Climb Acoustic PThermalLim At this position it is possible to activate a „Pre-zero“ climb acoustic signal! The trigger point of this acoustic signal can be adjusted within the range of -1,0m up to 0 cm/s. The „Pre-zero Acoustic“ is particularly useful in the level flight range! The sound differs clearly from climb- and sink vario! 2.2.8 Variometer – sink acoustic 2.2.8.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 2.3 15 Speed Apart from Vario and altitude the flight through the air (= Airspeed) is indeed one of the decisive messages. By use of a precisely indicating speedometer it is possible to increase air safety. 2.3.1 Wind vane sensor The 6015-GPS is provided with a very precise speed measuring system, i.e. one entry with evaluation electronics for Flytec wind vane sensors. Advantage: wind vane sensors trigger correct readout already from approx.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 2.4 16 Time of day and Date Remark: time of day and the date do not need to be adjusted. They are taken automatically from the GPS-Receiver. However, any time zone difference from UTC (World Time) needs to be entered with a positive value if the time zone is located East of Greenwich, or a with a negative value, if it is at the West of it. Time zones with 0.5h UTC offset are also adjustable. This setting is entered with Main Setup Menu Instr. Settings Timezone.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 3.1 17 Assessment of GPS reception quality The 6015-GPS is fitted with a 20-channel GPS-receiver which is featured with lesser power consumption and also a significantly shorter satellite detection time. Precision of position is between 5 to 40m. As an average one may assume approx. 20 m. Because the receiving strength of the satellite signals is only approx.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 3.2.1 18 Track and Bearing Track is the direction into which an aircraft is moving over ground. The geographic true North is always 0 or 360 degrees. (East = 90 ; South = 180 ; West = 270 Grad) Bearing is the direction (according to the system described above) to a selected Waypoint seen from the viewer.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 3.3.1 19 Display of actual coordinates If the 6015-GPS receives satellites by GPS-Receiver, the actual position is displayed in the information field of the instrument by briefly pressing the key i Info. After 20 sec. the previous display screen will automatically reappear. This function is useful in relaying your location to some person after landing for your pick-up from there. Also when entering a Waypoint with WP OK Memorise Pos. the coordinates are displayed. 3.3.

Operation Manual Flytec 6015 3.4 21 Routes A route is an arrangement of various Waypoints over which one would like to reach a goal. Of course, the Waypoints used on a Route have to be saved in the unit’s memory. Upon arriving at the WP cylinder a long, unmistakable tone signalling „Waypoint reached“ sounds during 2sec. and the instrument skips automatically to the next waypoint of the Route. It makes sense to store many well-known thermal sources as Waypoints along a route.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 3.4.1.2 > Delete alle WP of the Route Pressing the OK key on the position delete Route enables the delete function. For data safety the 6015-GPS prompts once again: „delete all WP?“. By use of the OK key the deletion can be confirmed or it can be cancelled with the ESC key and return is performed to the previous level. 3.4.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 3.4.3 23 Competition - Start For a competition is normally ruled a start cylinder of the EXIT type (flying out of the cylinder) or ENTER type (flying into the cylinder) and one, or several possible start times (Startgates). Conditions for a validated start: After start time release, when the start time (0:00) is attained or exceeded, for: 1. Start mode EXIT, the pilot must show a position inside of the start cylinder. 2.

Operation Manual Flytec 6015 3.5 3.5.1 25 Flight optimisation Groundspeed (speed over ground) The GPS-Receiver calculates its new position once every second. Speed over Ground is derived from the distance between these positions. It is possible to reach conclusions about the wind’s influence from the difference between flying speed (Airspeed) and the speed over ground. 3.5.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 3.5.5 Relocating thermals 26 With weak or widely dispersed thermals this function helps to relocate any lost thermals. A small arrow pointing up in the compass rose shows the direction to the last thermal with at least a 1 m/s climb rate. If this arrow is positioned at the top of the display, one is flying towards the thermal, however, if it is at the bottom of the display, one is flying away from the upwash.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 27 Comment 1: in the Flight Analysis min. or max. values are displayed which occured during the flight. The display screen is updated every second and saved for the flight analysis. If one undertakes the download of such a flight afterwards on the PC using a program such as SeeYou, CompeGPS, MaxPunkte etc., these programs are only appropriate to evaluate the flight records in IGC format.

As long as the instrument is operative, the charge state is continuously monitored and is indicated with the corresponding symbol on the display screen. empty 8.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 9 30 Additional Information 9.1 9.1.1 Altimeter How does an altimeter work? An altimeter is really a barograph because it doesn’t directly measure altitude, but air pressure. The barometric altimeter calculates altitude from the prevailing air pressure of the atmosphere. However, air pressure decreases with increasing altitude. Why does pressure change with height? Air pressure at any given point on the earth is created by the weight of air in the atmosphere above it.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 9.2 9.2.1 31 Navigation Reception quality of GPS The GPS-receiver ca follow up to 20 satellites simultaneously. After switch-on of the unit, it is necessary to have at least 4 satellites in reception in order to fix the position for the first time. For the valid IGC-recording the instrument needs in any case reception of 4 satellites.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 9.3 9.3.1 32 Flight Memory and IGC File Evidence of flights – Security against manipulation The popularity of decentralized competitions has been growing enormously over recent years. Meanwhile 26 countries have accepted the OLC (Online Contest) convention. These agreements signify that any pilot can submit flights at will over the Internet for approval and evaluation. The submission has to be compliant to IGC-format (WGS84) and must have a digital signature.
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 33 10 Maintenance This premium-quality multi function instrument is fitted with sensitive sensors which necessitate a gentle handling of the instrument. Excessive pressure, as may be caused by vehemently slamming the trunk lid of an automobile, must absolutely be avoided. This also applies to storage in humid environment (humid paraglider bag). The optimal cleanup should be performed by use of a slightly humidified, soft drapery.
