The response characteristics of Variometer display and of climb- or sink acoustics can be adapted within a wide range in accordance to the pilot’s needs or the weather conditions. In order to simplify the settings, Flytec has defined 4 basic- resp. turbulence filters. Variometer - sensitivity / response characteristics Filter No. -

Page 19: Assessment Of Gps Reception Quality
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 Assessment of GPS reception quality The 6015-GPS is fitted with a 20-channel GPS-receiver which is featured with lesser power consumption and also a significantly shorter satellite detection time. Precision of position is between 5 to 40m. As an average one may assume approx. 20 m. -
Page 20: Track And Bearing
Waypoints and Coordinates A waypoint is any single point on the earth’s surface that you would like to go to. The 6015-GPS can save up to 200 waypoints. Each name of a waypoint can have up to 16 characters, e.g.: "Fiesch Airfield". -
Page 21: Display Of Actual Coordinates
Operation Manual Flytec 6015 3.3.1 Display of actual coordinates If the 6015-GPS receives satellites by GPS-Receiver, the actual position is displayed in the information field of the instrument by briefly pressing the key Info. After 20 sec. the previous display screen will automatically reappear. This function is useful in relaying your location to some person after landing for your pick-up from there. -

Page 27: Flight Optimisation
Duration time for one full circle should at least be 16 seconds, some more time would be better. Whilst circling, the 6015-GPS determines the direction of least speed over ground, and checks also synchronously if in opposite direction there might be the fastest speed over ground. -
Page 28: Relocating Thermals
The recording mode does not need to be specifically activated. Each flight is automatically saved. The flight memory provided with the 6015-GPS not only records flight altitude but it also logs the position and the GPS-altitude of the pilot in the WGS84-coordinate system. -
Page 29: Data Transfer
Data exchange via PC The basic equipment of the 6015-GPS includes a data cable for the USB interface Mini B. Due to this feature the data transfer can be carried out in both directions. The data transmission is effected via serial interface COMX with: 57.600 baud; 8 databit; 1 stopbit; no parity; no Xon/Xoff. -

With „Search“ ("Suchen") you select the program to be transferred and ending " *.moc ", e.g. 6015 V1_2_05 Eng.moc or or you drag it from the Explorer by „drag & drop“ into the field. Now connect the USB cable with the instrument. Afterwards you can set the interface in the field Com Port, or if it is unknown to you, set to Auto and have thereby an automatic search prompted. -

Page 32: Additional Information
This means that the altimeter has to be set precisely before take-off for any flight to a well-known altitude value. The 6015-GPS sets altitude after energising automatically to GPS-altitude. However, it may also be subject to variations. -
Page 33: Navigation
(like notebooks) should be operated as far away as possible from the 6015-GPS . The 6015-GPS is fitted with a highly sensitive Sirf III 20-Kanal GPS-receiver, which is featured with lesser power consumption and also a significantly shorter satellite detection time. -
Page 34: Flight Memory And Igc File
Since the proof of a completed flight depends entirely on the GPS recording, it is important to ensure before take-off that the GPS-receiver indeed receives satellite signals. Therefore please switch-on the 6015-GPS at least two minutes before take-off so that even pre-flight events are included in the recording. -
