The LXNAV S100 is a standalone digital variometer, final glide calculator and navigation system with 
a simple moving map. The S100 unit includes a built-in IGC-approved flight recorder, a Bluetooth 
module and its own backup battery which provides from 3 to 4.5 hours of independent operation. 

Two rotary switches (knobs) with push button function and three push buttons are used for input.  

There is also a remote stick operated button operation for the unit. 

Built-in GPS module. 

Flarm Indication if a Flarm is connected to the GPS/Flarm port.  

Programmable “needles” for selectable data such as netto vertical speed, relative (super netto) and 

vertical speed (vario). 

Speed to fly indication.  

Total Energy (TE) compensation can be selected to be either pneumatic TE probe or electronic TE.  

Audio thermal assistant. 

In a two-seat glider both pilots have independent control of all functions of each unit in the front or 
the rear seat. 

Power Button

   

The system is powered up by pressing any of the push buttons or a press of either of the rotary 
knobs.  

A long press of the upper rotary knob will turn the S100 off,  Use this method instead of the 

master switch.
