Operation Manual IQ Motor+ 2.1.2 Altimeter Alt1, Absolute altitude Altimeter Alt1 is always the absolute altitude above sea level. The Alt1 display is permanently shown on the Main page as well as on the Map page. The Alt1 display is also shown in both user defined readout screens Altitude1m and Altitude1ft. Due to this feature it is possible to readout the absolute altitude besides the main display in unit meter but also in unit feet. -

Operation Manual IQ Motor+ 2.1.3 Altimeter Alt2, Relative altitude (user field) The altimeter Alt2 is in any case a difference altimeter. Thus it always displays the difference compared to such altitude at which it was reset to zero the last time. This function is often used for measuring the start site raising, or to recognise easily during flight under weak thermal lift the gain or loss in height. -

Page 28: Speed
Operation Manual IQ Motor+ Speed Apart from Vario and altitude the flight through the air (= airspeed) is indeed one of the decisive messages. By use of a precisely indicating speedometer it is possible to increase air safety. 2.3.1 Wind vane sensor The IQ Motor+ is provided with a speed measuring system, this means one entry with analysis electronics for Flytec wind wheel sensors. -
Page 29: Motorspeed
Operation Manual IQ Motor+ Motorspeed Motor speed is captured via a magnetic sensor. By contrast to the previous capacitive method with one wire over the ignition line, the magnetic sensor captures the ignition current only if the spark effectively ignites. For this reason the registration is much less vulnerable than the capacitive detection. -
Page 30: Time Of Day And Date
Operation Manual IQ Motor+ Time of day and Date Notice: time of day and the date do not need to be adjusted. They are taken automatically from the GPS-Receiver. However, any time zone difference from UTC (World Time) needs to be entered with a positive value if the time zone is located East of Greenwich, or a with a negative value, if it is at the West of it. -

Page 44: Glide Ratio ( = L/D Ratio)
Operation Manual IQ Motor+ 3.6.4 Glide ratio ( = L/D ratio) By definition, the glide ratio is calculated by taking the horizontal distance traveled and dividing it by the height which was lost.

Page 60: Complementary Information
Operation Manual IQ Motor+ 11 Complementary Information 11.1 Altimeter An altimeter is really a barograph because it doesn’t directly measure altitude, but air pressure. Altitude is then calculated from air pressure. The pressure at sea level is used as zero point height for the calculation of absolute altitude (according to the international height formula). -
Page 61: Stallalarm
Operation Manual IQ Motor+ In order to create a certain lift a certain number of air particles need to hit the airfoil. Because of the fact that at 6,500 m altitude there are now only half as many particles present per meter, the wing surface has to fly faster, but not twice as fast, because each particle has a higher striking energy and is then only 41% faster. -
Page 62: Navigation
Operation Manual IQ Motor+ adjusted by the pilot above which the stall alarm shall not be initiated. Of course, in this case, the landing areas should be located below this limit. Warning: sometimes it may be helpful also to be warned by the stall alarm when circling in a thermal of unstable flight attitudes. Experience has proven that about half of the otherwise unattractive landings have been saved by pushing the steering bar upright when the stall alarm was triggered. - Page 63 Operation Manual IQ Motor+ Satellite orbit radius =26560km Earth radius =6360km The calculation of GPS position is derived from a triangulation. The GPS receiver measures the time needed by the signals and calculates over the speed of light the distance to the respective satellite. With three satellites the horizontal position finding is determined, and with 4 satellites the spacial position with altitude.
