SELECT ACTIVE PILOT or ADD NEW PILOT

SELECT - Highlighting this row/cell and hitting the controller Select button makes that pilot active and returns one level up to the Personal Preference menu.

DELETE - The controller left/right buttons allow selection of the Delete function for existing pilot records.

The system will display a Delete Confirmation window and ask for verification. 'YES' is the default.

ADD - Selecting the Add function will display the New Pilot Name screen (below) to allow entry of the New Pilot Name.

• Up/Down Buttons = Row Change
• Left/Right Buttons = Column Change

The current active pilot is displayed at the bottom left of the Select / Add Pilot Screen.

 

ENTER NEW PILOT NAME record

A blank row of individual cells is displayed to capture and manipulate text input. A grid of all available alphanumeric text values is displayed immediately below.

Text is 'entered' a character at a time by toggling between the two grids. The location of the active insertion point ... or selected character is highlighted by the system.

When you are on the capture row, the hand controller left/right arrows allow you to select the insertion point for the next letter or number. Hitting the controller select button then toggles you to the grid where you can select a letter or number.

• The system actually adds cells incrementally to the capture row - starting with one cell. The small left/right arrows below the row show how many cells are available.

• Up/Down/Left/Right = Cell Change
• Select Button = Select and Toggle

EDIT EXISTING PILOT NAME record

This screen allows you to edit the currently selected pilot name ... 'Default Pilot' in this example.

The screen displays a row with the currently selected name - and allows you to delete characters or change text ... selecting from a grid of all available text values.

Text is deleted and/or changed a character at a time by toggling between the two grids. The location of the active insertion point ... or selected character is highlighted by the system.

When you are on the capture row, the hand controller left/right arrows allow you to select the insertion point for the next letter or number. Hitting the controller select button then toggles you to the grid where you can select a letter or number.

• In this example, 'P' was selected and the system activated the text selection grid - positioning the highlight to 'P'. You can move to any other value on the text grid using the left/right and up/down buttons - and hit the controller Select Button to accept.

• Up/Down/Left/Right = Cell Change
• Select Button = Select and Toggle

ENTER FINAL GLIDE PARMS (AMOEBA SETTINGS)

'Arrival Height, AGL' is used by the final glide calculator ... and the calculation engine for the purple amoeba ('Purple Arrival Height'). The purple amoeba shows your glide range in all directions from your current altitude to an altitude equal to your 'Arrival Height, AGL'.

As you change the 'Arrival Height, AGL' you will see this value applied automatically to the 'Purple Arrival Height' parameter. No direct modification to the latter is permitted.

The 'Red Arrival Height' parameter is used by the calc engine for the red amoeba. This is typically set to zero to reflect real-time glide range to the ground.

Highlighted MSL Glide Range Circle

The ' MSL Glide Range' altitude is used to calculate dynamic glide range in all directions from your current altitude to the entered MSL altitude. i.e. the MSL Altitude represents an operations floor. MSL Glide Range is displayed on the ClearNav Map as a circle (in zero wind) defined by a thin black line. This real-time calculation incorporates glider polar, ballast %, bug %, MC, and winds.

This screen allow the pilot to set the three parameters that are used in dynamic glide range calculations.

These real-time calcs incorporate glider polar, ballast %, bug %, MC, and winds.

Terrain Color Saturation - allows adjustment of map background colors from intensity vivid to monochrome. Zero is the default middle setting. Here are examples at -35 and +35.

-35 Saturation

+35 Saturation

Tracks - allows pilots to display or hide 'ground' tracks. The tracking data is retrained so the pilot can switch this on/off without losing track history. 'Clear' Tracks will erase track history.

waypoint names / numbers - allows pilots to select Control and Waypoint Name display options. You can display long name or short name with or without the turnpoint number. The short name is five characters long.

select display units

The UNITS menu allow the pilot to select the entry and reporting basis for all displayed metrics and parameters. Selectable options include:

SPEED - Kilometers/Hour, Miles/Hour, Knots

DISTANCE - Kilometers, Miles, Nautical Miles

ALTITUDE - Meters, Feet

Vertical Speed - Knots, Meters/Second

SUA Altitudes - Meters, Feet

ON-SCREEN OPTIONS

This function allows you to display additional flight/task metrics on the moving map. All will appear immediately when selected - except the voltmeter display, which will only appear if the voltage drops to or below the designated threshold.

The requested parameters will be displayed in pre-mapped locations to group like items together ... i.e. Altitude items will appear in the same column, time items in the same column, etc. The displayed values are not moveable from the the mapped locations.

CATEGORY	OPTION	DISPLAY	NOTES
ALTITUDES	Pressure		Pressure Altitude is supplied by the ClearNav pressure transducer. (The SIM will display a N/A value.)
	AGL		Altitude AGL is approximate and calculated by subtracting terrain elevation from MSL Altitude.
TASK VIEW	Time To Finish		Time To Finish is the estimated time (hh:mm:ss) to task finish – calculated by dividing the Distance To Go by the Predicted Speed.
	Total Time		Total Time is the estimated time to complete - calculated by adding the Time Since Start to the Time To Finish.
	Distance To Go		Distance To Go is the distance from your current location to remaining turnpoints to the finish point.
	Achieved Speed		Achieved Speed is the average speed since the start of the task.
PERFORMANCE	Current Average Climb		Average climb rate in the current thermal.
	Flight Average Climb		The average climb rate since take-off – or since the last task start .
WIND	Numeric Wind Direction		This option allows display of the wind compass directions in degrees magnetic as a numeric value .... in addition to the vector arrow.
TRACK AND BEARING	Track/Bearing		The Track/Bearing window displays the sailplane’s current track and bearing to the active waypoint
	Bearing/Distance		This option adds Bearing info -  to the Distance window at the top center of the moving map.
VOLTMETER	Specify Upper Threshold		The Voltmeter window displays the battery voltage.  The Voltmeter Upper Threshold sets the voltage below which the voltmeter will be displayed.
START HEIGHT	N/A for On-screen Options		The Start Height Control is a feature explained in the Task section of the manual.
