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.
The A2 readout is displayed in user defined display screen Altitude2.
Example: if Altitude A2 is set at start site to 0 m, then after take-off is always shown in field
Altitude2 the altitude value over start site.

2.1.3.1 Altimeter Alt2 - configuring

The altimeter function Alt2 is called-up
by long pressure on the ALT2 key.
The possible settings are shown in the
Information line and in both function
key fields.
Manual setting
By brief pressure on one arrow key the
readout value can be adjusted meter by
meter. Under continuous keystroke the
display shall be changed automatically until
the key is released.
Setting altitude A2 to 0m
By brief pressure on the F2 (SET 0) key the Altitude is set to 0m.
2.1.4

Cumulated altitude display (user field Altitude Sum)

The user defined field Altitude Sum adds up all meters of ascent cumulated during one flight.
The cumulated altitude is also indicated in the flight analysis.
Tip: If several pilots complete the same flight task, then the one who had the least gain in height
(A3) would have been the best to accomplish the task.
2.1.5

FL Flightlevel altitude display (user field FL ft)

The FL altitude display in feet is not adjustable. The altitude display is always related to
a QNH-value (air pressure at sea level) of 1013 hPa. This readout is particularly important
for aircraft pilots to whom is assigned a Flight Level by air traffic-controllers during flights in
Restricted Areas.
2.1.6

Pressure sensor correction

In Menu item -> Main Setup Menu -> Instr.Sett. ->Pressure sensor Corr it is possible to rectify the
ageing of the pressure sensor. The QNH value is the basis for control. If you happen to know
the QNH value of a certain location, (e.g. air field altitude) the altitude on display must match the
actual altitude. 1hPa corresponds at 500m altitude to approx. 8m.
