Press OK ! 3. Automatic switch-off: the flight analysis appears automatically after landing and shall be displayed for about 60sec. Without key stroke the 6015-GPS is switched-off automatically. 4. Automatic switch-off at non-use If the device does not detect a keystroke or flight related parameters during 30 minutes, it will be switched-off automatically. -

/ Memorise position as Waypoint Operation philosophy The 6015-GPS instrument is very easy to handle and intuitive. Just try it a few times, and you will discover that one can get along very rapidly with the simple menu structure. However, please note some essential instructions regarding the various functions. -

Altimeter display ALT 2 is appropriate to indicate the following values: GPS altitude = display of GPS altitude ALT1 m/ft-Inv = display of altitude ALT1 inverse to unit of ALT1 in ft or m Flight-Level = Flightlevel altitude in ft relating to 1013 hPa, e.g. -
Page 11: Variometer Functions
Vario 3.2 6.8m/s The scale of the analogue display is consistently 0,2 m/s over both scale ranges ! (Flytec AG Patent!) The range of the first scale extends from 0 up to +/- 5m/s. Thereafter the scale display switches automatically to the second scale range which extends from 5 up to 10m/s. The second scale is afterwards displayed with a white bar on black field . -
Page 12: Menu Settings Variometer
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. -

The sink tone is discreetly heard with deeper sound pitch at increasing sink speed, and is slowly increasing in frequency again when approaching rising air. -

2.3.1 Wind vane sensor The 6015-GPS is provided with a very precise speed measuring system, i.e. one entry with evaluation electronics for Flytec wind vane sensors. Advantage: wind vane sensors trigger correct readout already from approx. 1 km/h speed, these sensors are also perfectly suitable for detection of weakest wind strength values at starting site . -

Temperature reading is ⇒... -
Page 17: Assessment Of Gps Reception Quality
Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 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 18: 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 20 waypoints. Each name of a waypoint can have up to 16 characters, e.g.: "Fiesch Airfield". -
Page 19: Display Of Actual Coordinates
Operation Manual Flytec 6015-GPS 3.3.1 Display of actual coordinates If the 6015-GPS receives satellites by GPS-Receiver, the actual position is displayed in the Info. information field of the instrument by briefly pressing the key 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. -

WP. 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 6015-GPS provides the definition of up to 20 WP. The one and same WP can be used more than once along one Route 3.4.1... -

Waypoint. Remark: Because the GPS-Receiver of the 6015-GPS identifies its new position every second, it takes only this one second to inform the pilot about his crossing of the turning point of cylinder circumference. In this case a long, unmistakable tone sounds during 2 sec. signalling „Waypoint reached“... -
Page 23: 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 24: Flight-Memory And Flight-Analysis
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 25: 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 Ger.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 28: 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 29: 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 30: 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. -
