  • Page 52 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 Description Bohli compass for aerial navigation A device, using the magnetic field of the earth for directional orientation, has been known in China as far back as 2000 B.C. It originally consisted of a magnetic iron splinter, floating on top of a small piece of wood in a water container.
  • Page 53 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 The inclination varies with geographic latitude. Over the magnetic poles the needle would point down vertically; on the magnetic equator it would lie horizontally. One can notice this effect on long flights going North--South or vice--versa. The effect shows on the Bohli compass in this manner: the imaginary circle, which the pointer mark describes on the dial during a circle on the plane, becomes wider in lower latitudes and narrower in higher latitudes.
  • Page 54 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 Profound knowledge of the basic principle of this instrument is mandatory in order to fully benefit from its possibilities. For easier understanding, let’s have a look at the compass as the pilot sees it. Fig.
  • Page 55 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 The same thing happens in actual circling flight, when the plane is banked but the compass is tilted so that it will remain parallel to the horizon (the bank angle is visible on the special scale which appears on top of the mirror image.
  • Page 56 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 Increasing the angle of incidence will displace the circle towards “South”. Any change in pitch will merely move the red mark parallel to the N--S axis. Equally, banking (the compass) will move the red mark parallel to the E--W axis. Banking to the left will displace the circle towards East and vice versa (fig.
  • Page 57 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 Consequently, the pilot has to bother only with those displacements of the mark which are due to pulling and pushing the stick (dolphin flying) and he must learn to interpret them. The effect is minimized in gliders with flaps since the pitch angle of the fuselage changes little with diffe- rent speeds.
  • Page 58 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 Some special reflections are necessary in order to correctly determine the angular advance to compensate time lags (fig. 8). Since different flying manoeuvres are applied for shifting to- wards the center, depending on personal preference and type of glider (levelling--out or sli- deslipping with opposite rudder, etc.), the amount of angular lag compensation is to be deter- mined individually by each pilot.
  • Page 59 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 If the indication of best climb occurs later after a shifting step, this is an indication that roll--out has been initiated too early as shown by L in figure 9. On the other hand, if the relevant hea- ding for best climb is encountered earlier after every step, then roll--out was initiated too late I.
  • Page 60 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 Installation The specially developed compass 46--MFK--1 offers a number of important advantages over conventional types. In order to benefit fully from its unique information and presentation possi- bilities the following instructions must carefully be followed. Mounting The compass must be mounted at least 15 cm (6 in) away from any ferrous parts.
  • Page 61 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 The compass may also be mounted off center, but in this case the pilot may have to slightly move his head to the side in order to see the entire dial when circling. In cockpits with central forward canopy locks, it pays to modify the knobs of levers, by--passing the compass.
  • Page 62 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 By turning the two lower adjustment screws (US), the N--S axis of the compass is now turned to be exactly in line with the center line of the fuselage. For turning the scale to the right screw (US) must be loosened and the left screw (US) tightened and vice--versa.
  • Page 63 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 By this comparatively simple levelling procedure (which must be done accurately, however) the compass has been adjusted for zero bank and for a pitch angle of the fuselage correspon- ding to a flying speed of 100 to 110 km/h (62 to 70 mph). By the same procedure all stray ma- gnetic fields within the glider have been compensated.
  • Page 64 BOHLI MAGNETTECHNIK AG Manual Compass 46--MFK--1 General hints Experience has shown that after final adjustment the adjusting screws “US” and “OS” and the center screw “ZS” must be secured with lacquer or resin. This is to prevent them from beco- ming loose during trailer transports (which would require a new adjustment).

  • Page 69 Airspeed-indicator with Grosskinsky-variable-camberflap ring Application As is generally known, wing load and, in turn, the optimum flap positions for the various speed ranges of a variable-flap glider changes with take-off weight. Until now, selecting the right flap position has ivolved using special tables carried on board or observing a confusingly large number of marks on the airspeed indicator.
  • Page 70 Vane type variometers measure the change in air pressure inherent to changes in altitude. The instrument consists of a cylindrical chamber with a precision-fit baffle plate (vane) rotating on shockproofjewel bearings and centered by a coil spring. The vane divides the chamber in two: one section is open to static pressure, while the other is connected to an expransion tank, in which a volume of air is insulated against the thermal effects.
  • Page 71 Vanetype variometer wi th MacCready ring (preselected flying speed ring) Nowadays, the MacCready type ring is an indispensable aid in cross country flying. The ring is rotatable and is marked with speeds and a white triangle. The chief use of MacCready ring is to achieve the highest possible cruising speed (average cross country flying speed) on thermal cross country flights.

  • Page 152 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT Welcome to the FLARM user community Thank you for purchasing FLARM, a modern low-cost collision-warning unit for sailplanes and light aircraft. The main task for FLARM is to support the pilot, while he scans the airspace ahead with his own eyes. FLARM is simple to use and does not distract the pilot from the main business in hand.
  • Page 153 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT The operating range is very dependent upon the antenna installation in the aircraft. The normal range is about 2 km. In individual cases the range may be up to 5 km, which can be valuable for fast sailplanes with a speed of up to 250 kt, providing the pilots in both aircraft with a warning enabling visual identification and reaction to the potential hazard.
  • Page 154 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT Installation and operation must be on the basis of non-interference with and no hazard to the existing suite of other certified equipment necessary for safe flying operation, or installed to comply with official requirements. Installation and operation must comply with official regulations and requirements.
  • Page 155 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT Front Panel The dark grey front panel of Hardware Versions 1 and 2 has a push-button, four green Status-LEDs, ten red collision warning LEDs and four red LEDs for vertical position indication. 4 green LED 10 red LED 4 red LED Push-button...
  • Page 156 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT Start-Up FLARM is always switched on if the unit is connected to an adequate power supply. Immediately after it has been switched on there follows a one-second long beep while a start-up pattern might be shown on the LED, followed by a binary presentation of the Hardware-Version installed during the system self-test.
  • Page 157 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT Fault Finding If a fault should occur during start-up self-test or subsequent operation, then all four green status LEDs will flash in unison for 30 seconds, while the red collision LEDs will give a binary indication of the most serious fault.
  • Page 158 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT The communications faults itemised above indicate if internal modules within FLARM are not communicating correctly with each other. For reasons associated with the system, reduced radio range cannot be detected by a single unit alone. Software-Versions 4.x will only operate until March 01, 2011.
  • Page 159 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT Aircraft Anti-Collision Warnings An illuminated red LED indicates the approximate bearing to an aircraft currently posing the biggest threat of collision. The bearing is relative to the track. This indication is inaccurate if there is a strong wind, if the aircraft is in a sideways yaw, or if ground speed is very low (e.g.

  • Page 161 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT Obstacle Warnings The standard obstacle data bank (as of April 2008) has about 33,000 coordinates locating about 11,000 Alpine obstacles . This data bank is loaded by FLARM at manufacture; subsequently the user may upload but not alter up-dated information via a PC.
  • Page 162 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT 12. Operating Limitations FLARM is designed and built as a non-essential 'situation awareness only' unit to only support the pilot, and cannot always provide reliable warnings. In particular, FLARM does not give any guidance on avoiding action.
  • Page 163 OPERATING MANUAL FLARM COLLISION WARNING UNIT FLARM indicates the rough position of the aircraft or obstacle that currently represents the biggest threat, in accordance with the algorithmic calculation; FLARM Hardware Version 2 (and onwards) also displays a vertical bearing. In the case of fixed obstacles, the unit does not signal a bearing. FLARM does not indicate where the closest proximity may occur, nor does it signal avoiding action.
