SW-Packages Here you can enable SW packages you bought from Flytec. 1.7 Basic Settings A series of settings permit the unit to be programmed according to the user’s wishes. Every pilot can realize his/her own ideas. If too much information bogs you down and causes confusion, it is always possible to reset the unit at Basic Settings/ Init EEPROM, which are the manufacturer’s tested basic settings. -

Important: Contrary to the instructions for data transfer of waypoints or routes, be sure that the 5020 is turned off when plugging the cable into the computer and the 5020. Important: Never leave the PC cable hooked up to the unit when it is turned off. If this is done energy is consumed, and the battery can be drained. -

0.1s to 1 s. (Settings 1 to 10) 5.1 Altimeter and Air Pressure The Flytec 5020 has 3 altitude displays. Alt1 is always the altitude above sea level (QNH). Alt2 is a reference height; it can be altered or zeroed at any time Press F1 several times until „Mod A2“... - Page 12 Flytec 5020 technical manual Automatic volume control: The basic setting levels 25%, 50%, and 75% will be slowly increased automatically once the airspeed exceeds 40 km/h (25 mph). It is impossible for the volume to exceed 100%. The following settings can be made in the menu under ‘Basic Settings /Vario tone’.

6 Speed The 5020 has an input for a vane wheel speed sensor. It shows the true air speed and begins to make correct measurements above 1km/h; it is also well-suited in determining the wind strength at take-off. In the Basic Settings > Speed Correction vane it is possible to calibrate the displayed speed from 70% to 150% (default is 100%). -
Page 14: Stall Alarm
Because the receiving strength of the satellite signal is only 1/1000 of mobile radios, these radio receivers and other disruptive factors (like notebooks) should be kept as far away as possible from the Flytec 5020. Together with the navigation signal, information about the number of received satellites is shown on the right side of the bar scale. -
Page 15: Track And Bearing
Flytec 5020 technical manual advantage that it is not subject to any grid deviation and does not show any deviation as a result of iron or any magnetic material either. Its zero point always corresponds with true geographic north (0 or 360 degrees). The course that is the flight direction (= Track), is calculated from your movements. -
Page 16: Head, Cross And Tail Winds; The Wind Component
Diff’ (in the user defined fields) is positive, then the pilot will fly with a tail wind and the glide ratio over the ground will improve. If it is negative the glide ratio will worsen. The Flytec 5020 takes the wind into consideration when calculating the final glide. (In order to find the correct angle between the destination and the wind when a strong cross wind is present, please refer to the section Goto function.) The calculated wind speed can be displayed in a user... -

7.8 Waypoints and Co-ordinates A waypoint is any single point on the earth’s surface that you would like to go to. The Flytec 5020 can save up to 200 different waypoints. Each waypoint can have up to 16 characters, e.g. -
Page 18: Waypoints - Alter, Delete, Or Add
Selecting the waypoint to be deleted is done with the arrow keys. Pressing the F2 key (Del WP) activates the delete function. To be on the safe side, the Flytec 5020 asks once again, “Delete Waypoint?” Yes or No are the choices available. It is possible, however, to stop the deletion process by pressing Esc and returning to a previous level. -
Page 19: Distance To Waypoint
3 seconds. As confirmation you will hear a double peep and those current co-ordinates will be stored in the memory as a waypoint and displayed in the two bottom lines. The Flytec 5020 uses the letter M (for marker) for the waypoint designation and then the date and time. -
Page 20: Goto-Function
‘Goto’ mode. This function allows you to search for a waypoint stored in the memory of the Flytec 5020 and choose it for a flight to goal. At the same time the next five waypoints are listed in alphabetical order. - Page 21 Of course there is still the option of looking up other, possibly closer, waypoints without leaving the current route by using the Goto function. Altogether, the Flytec 5020 can have up to 20 routes set. The same waypoint can be used more than once along a route, and the same waypoint may occur on other routes as well.
-
Page 22: Routes Set - Delete - Alter
---------------- A route is a string of waypoints. (Of course the WPs have to be already in the Flytec 5020’s memory). If a WP is used in a route, then it can no longer be deleted. 7.11.1 Setting a New Route After pressing the F1 key (lns.Route), first a name has to be entered for the route. -
Page 23: Deleting A Route
You select the route to be deleted with the keys and press F2 (Del.Route). To be on the safe side the Flytec 5020 enquires once again: Delete Route? that can be answered with Yes or No. However, it is not possible to delete the FAI-route. - Page 24 Flytec 5020 technical manual cylinder are stored at one second intervals in the memory of the Flytec 5020, totally independent of what recording interval is used during a standard flight. Usually the Start cylinder is the first position of the COMPETITION-ROUTE competition route.
- Page 25 ENTER and the other way round if the mode was EXIT. An unmistakable bleeping sound occurs and the Flytec 5020 switches automatically to the next WP. The Dist.to WP always counts the distance from the present pilots position to the centre of the WP cylinder.

WP becomes smaller while at the same time the altitude naturally decreases. If you now initiate a climb with the key, the Flytec 5020 simulates circling up in a thermal; the compass rose turns and the distance to goal continuously changes between somewhat closer and somewhat farther away. -
