Thermal Screen
The analog vario display as well as altitude, digital vario and wind and compass show exactly
the same as on the standard screen.
On the bottom right you can see the altitude curve of the last 30 seconds. This display can
be very helpful to see at a glance whether you have gained or lost altitude. A short look at
the screen is enough to know immediately what is going on without having to read numbers
or remember numbers.
The thermal assistant displays the last 60 seconds of flight with dots. The dots show,
depending on whether they are filled or not, or whether they are large or small, how the climb
/ sink rate was at that point. Large black dots indicate good climb, large circles indicate
strong sinking.
This thermal assistant can be very helpful if you have fallen out of a thermal and want to find
it again. But please keep always an eye on the airspace around you and don't keep looking
at the screen, however helpful it may be. It is best to try the thermal assistant if you are flying
alone in a thermal.
