Info
Pilot
All entered data (except for weight), will be written to the .igc log file as
pilot declaration info. In order to have accurate information enter your
name, surname, weight, reserve (altitude) and, in case you are flying
with a two-seater, copilot name, surname, and weight.
- Pilot name: edit the name of the pilot.
- Pilot surname: edit the surname of the pilot.
Pilot’s weight is added to the whole weight of the glider to calculate
actual wing loading.
- Weight: edit the weight of the pilot.
- Co-pilot’s data is visible in the flight declaration (IGC file).
- Copilot name: edit the name of the copilot.
- Copilot surname: edit the surname of the copilot.
Co-pilot’s weight is added to the whole weight of the glider.
- Copilot weight: edit the weight of copilot.
Reserve is added to final glide calculation and is always added for safety.
The pilot should set the actual QNH and elevation of the take-off airport on the initial setup screen.
Changing the QNH setting during flight will change the altitude calculation for final glide. Changing QNH
while on the ground will not change the altitude calculation and it will remain the same as set during initial
setup.
Reserve is the safety arrival altitude that is added to the required final glide altitude so that the glider arrives
over the destination at the selected reserved altitude (AGL).
