LX Navigation d.o.o.
3.2.5.1.5 J-RECORD
These are additional records which will be recorded according to the K-record interval setting. Again,
activation of J records is not recommended unless they are fully understood. The same parameters as in I-record
can be enabled
Adding additional I and J records will reduce the unit's memory capacity. They are both advanced functions and
should only be activated if the user fully understands IGC records. The exception is the ENL (engine noise level)
record which should be set in self launching and self sustaining motor gliders.
3.2.5.2 PILOT LIST
The unit has the capability to store up to 100 pilot names. A manual input of a new pilot's name is possible in
this menu after pressing the PILOT/GLIDER key. Furthermore, when Flight info data is transferred to the
unit from LXe, a new pilot will be added automatically. On pressing ENTER, the following options will be
presented:
•
PILOT SELECT, enables the selection of the active pilot
•
PILOT NEW, adding of a new pilot, identical procedure as under PILOT/GLIDER key
•
PILOT EDIT, to edit pilot data, this function is not available under PILOT/GLIDER
•
DELETE PILOT, the selected pilot will be deleted, not possible under PILOR/GLIDER
3.2.5.3 GLIDER LIST
Very similar to pilot list, the input of up to a maximum of 30 different glider types is possible. There are two
additionally actions which are not found under PILOT/GLIDER.:
•
EDIT GLIDER
•
DELETE GLIDER
Edit and delete are available only in this menu; they are not available under PILOT/GLIDER key.

3.2.5.4 TIME ZONE

UTC (GMT) offset to give local time.
UTC offset will not affect the time recorded in the IGC-file, which will remain at UTC at all times.
3.2.5.5 UNITS
The unit can be programmed to show navigation data using all known units which are genarally used in aviation.
Resetting the units in this menu will not have any effect on the recorded data.

3.2.5.6 NMEA OUTPUT

As the unit has a built in GPS receiver, it is capable of driving other vario or navigation systems which do not
have a GPS receiver. The data is sent in the NMEA international format. The most common used data
sentences, GGA and RMC, are active by default. This means that each Colibri is automatically sending this data
at all times. To simplify the procedure for the pilots, two pre-configured sets of data can be selected; the third
option enables specific NMEA sentences to be selected.
