Influence of wind in final glide
The actual wind data (speed and direction) influences the final glide calculation. In task mode, the final glide
indication is based on the remaining distance over all TPs until finish (not over turn points already passed).
Wind influence for individual legs is based on current wind data.
Event function
The user has the option to set one of the user inputs to Event. If Event switch is pressed during flight, it will
enable faster record interval in flight recorder (recording in shorter intervals as default for a limited time).
Event parameters can be set in Setup/Logger on LX Era unit. The action is accompanied by a clear message.
Task start
The task is started automatically when glider leaves start TP observation zone and navigation to the next
point will start. If the pilot wishes to navigate back to the starting point, he must simply use pull up menu
(pull up NavBox line in TSK page) and select the Previous waypoint. Please refer to Task page chapter.
After landing
It is recommended that you keep the instrument ON for a few minutes after landing. This will ensure a
baseline of the baro trace.
The unit can be switched OFF or the flight can be downloaded anytime after landing.
Downloading flights
Make sure the micro SD card is properly inserted in Colibri X. In the setup page, select logbook and search
for a flight that you wish to download. Select the flight. On the bottom of the page, you will find "Copy to SD
card" icon. By selecting it, the transfer will begin. A progress window will inform pilot when the flight is
copied to external SD card. The file format of flight is .IGC.
