Two Gliders, What Now; Just Switch On; Altimeter And Barometric Pressure - Brauniger IQ-CLASSIC Operating Instructions Manual

Two gliders, what now?

Just switch on

Altimeter and barometric pressure

Pilots frequently have more than one glider and often take both
a paraglider as well as a hang-glider with them. So that all the
settings do not have to be reprogrammed when there is a change
of glider, setting mode no. 25 of the software allows all the
values specific to a glider such as stall alarm, polar, speed
adjustment, time constants, etc. to be entered separately and
used for two different gliders. (Set1 or Set2)
Ultralight pilots and balloonists
will welcome the fact that display A1 can be chosen in metres
and A2 in feet when switching from A1 - A2.
Setting mode no. 24
The instrument then performs an automatic self-test. All
segments of the display are activated for 2 seconds.
The following are then displayed:
1.) The serial number and Set 1 or Set 2 active
2.) The year with the day and month underneath
3.) The number of free memory spaces in the flight diary
4.) And the available memory time in hours at the chosen
recording interval. (Competition instrument only)
The instrument has 3 altitude displays.
After pressing A1-A2-SF/Clear A2 briefly, it switches from
A1 to A2; both altitude displays can be changed with the
keys.
A1 is basically the altitude above sea level.
A2 is a reference altitude that can be zeroed by pressing and
holding A21-A2-SF/Clear A2 .
Pressing the same key again briefly switches to the barometric
pressure and temperature display. After 5 seconds, this display
switches back to A1.
If A1 is set to the correct site altitude, the barometric pressure
displayed corresponds to the QNH value; this means it is the
barometric pressure that is predominant at sea level.
Barometric pressure can be changed in setting mode no. 1.
A3 totals up all the metres climbed during a flight. In thermal
flights, this total is dependent on flying time. When several
pilots fly the same task, the best is the one who completes the
task with the least gain in altitude.
