Note:
A count-down timer is indicated in the basic display by
a flashing colon (:) between the minutes field and the
seconds field.
Phase 2 / Phase 3
You will automatically be in the "normal" flight phase 1
unless you have already assigned a switch to phases 2
or 3.
Both the number and name of this flight phase are fixed
permanently as "normal", and cannot be changed. For
this reason the "normal" phase is simply concealed, i. e.
it is not displayed as phase 1.

It is also important to understand that the flight phases
have their own inherent priorities which need to be ob-
served, particularly when assigning individual switches.
The underlying scheme can be described as follows:
• If all assigned flight phase switches are closed or
open, the "normal" flight phase is active.
• If only one switch is closed, then the flight phase as-
signed to the currently closed switch is active.
• If two switches are closed, then the flight phase with
the lower number is active.
For example, this would be phase 2 if the switches
assigned to phase 2 and 3 are closed.
• The "auto-rotation phase" ALWAYS has precedence
over all other flight phases, regardless of the priori-
ties outlined above. When the auto-rotation phase
is selected, the switch is always made WITHOUT
DELAY.
• With this in mind, you may wish to take the inherent
phase priorities into account when assigning names
to the flight phases; see below.
• At the servo end the transition does not occur
"abruptly", but with a fixed transition period of about
one second.
Programming
When you select "Phase 2" or "Phase 3" using the arrow
buttons  of the left or right-hand touch-key, the
"Name" field for that flight phase is already framed.

please refer to page 114, in the section entitled "Flight
phase specific settings for collective pitch, throttle and

Auto-rotation
The name "Auto-rotation" is permanently assigned to
Phase 4, and CANNOT be altered. The only available
option is to assign a switch to it using the switch symbol
at the right of the screen.

please refer to the "Helicopter mixers" section starting
on page 114.
