Phase assignment

Setting up flight phases

This option is available as standard on
both transmitter types.

Use the selection keys of the left or right
four-way button to scroll to the »Phase

assignment« menu option in the Multi-function menu:

Phase settings

Phase trim

Logical switch

Timers (general)

Non-delayed chan

Note:
A phase name appears to the right of the phase
number at the bottom right of the display only if you
have assigned the name beforehand on the »Phase
settings« menu.

In the »Phase settings« menu, described above
separately for fixed-wing and helicopter models,
you will have set up names for your phases. On this
menu – which is identical for both model types – you
must now specify the switches or switch combina-

tions that you want to use to trigger each phase. One
exception for helicopter menu: one of the two auto-
rotation switches must be set on the menu »Basic
settings, model«.

Please note the following priorities:
• If no flight phase switches nor these names have

been assigned in this menu, the model is in flight
phase “1”. Accordingly, by the time you start pro-
gramming flight phases, you should therefore have
already given this flight phase the phase name
“Normal”.

• Independent of the phases with allocated switch

settings made in this menu, the autorotation phase
(only present for the “Helicopter” model type and
to be assigned a switch in the »Basic settings,
model« menu) always (!) takes precedence. Ac-
cordingly, as soon as the auto-rotation switch in
question is activated, the following warning ap-
pears:

A B

Autorot

• Phase switch “A” is given priority over all subse-

quent switch positions, from “B” to “F”

• Phase switch “B” is given priority over all subse-

quent switch positions, from “C” to “F”

• 3-way switches should always be assigned from

the middle position.

Therefore use switch “A” and/or switch “B” only if you
wish to change from any other flight phase – apart
from the helicopter’s autorotation phase – directly into
the phase that is assigned to this switch.

Programming flight phase switches

Once you have configured your desired switch posi-
tion, “A” to “F”, using the selection keys on the left or
right four-way button, a switch (whether a “normal”
switch or an expanded switch) is then assigned as
described in the section “Physical control, switch and
control switch assignments” on page 68.
The order in which assignment is made is irrelevant:
you must ensure only that you assign what are, for
you, the “correct” switches. (In the helicopter program,
for example, you should also take care to ensure you
do not use this menu to re-assign any auto-rotation
switch already assigned on the »Basic settings,
model« menu.)

Example: 4 flight phases with phase priority

Assigning flight phases to switch positions

Now that names have been assigned to the flight
phases (1 … max. 6) in the »Phase settings« menu
and also programmed switches in this menu, but …
at the bottom right of the display screen, you only see
<1 Normal > – regardless of the positions the switches
are in!?
Use the selection keys on the left or right four-way
button to move the marker frame down and to the
right and then briefly tap the center
