Flytec 6010 / IQ One+

Product catalog summary

Instrument Layout: The Flytec 6005/6010 features a digital vario display, speed/temperature display, barometric altitude displays, and a PC interface port (6010 only). It includes indicators for functions like sink alarm and vario volume.

Operating Philosophy: Flytec emphasizes user-friendly operation. The device starts in Run-Mode after a self-test. Quick key presses access main functions, while holding keys for three seconds enters Set-Mode, and further holding accesses Option-Mode.

Run-Mode: Displays include analog/digital sink/climb rate, airspeed, temperature, altitude, time, battery condition, and acoustic signals. Key functions allow adjusting vario volume, toggling sink alarm, switching altitude displays, and managing time functions.

Set-Mode: Accessed by holding a key for three seconds, allowing changes to display fields using Arrow Keys. Exiting Set-Mode returns to Run-Mode or enters Option-Mode with another three-second hold.

Option-Mode: Allows further customization of settings. Changes are made using Arrow Keys, and the instrument returns to Run-Mode after eight seconds of inactivity.

Switching the Instrument ON/OFF: Turn on by holding the TIME/CHRONO/MEMO key until a beep is heard. Turn off by holding the same key for seven seconds. The instrument auto-powers down after 60 minutes of inactivity, adjustable on the 6010 model.

The Altimeter: Functions by calculating altitude from atmospheric pressure, which decreases with elevation. The pressure change is exponential due to air compressibility.

Altitude Calculation: The document explains the CINA formula for deriving altitude from air pressure, assuming standard atmospheric conditions (1013.25 hPa at 15°C) and a temperature lapse rate of 0.65°C per 100m ascent. Deviations from these conditions can lead to inaccurate altitude readings, necessitating adjustments based on current QNH values.

Altimeter Functions: The Flytec 6005/6010 features three altimeters: ALT1 (absolute altitude), ALT2 (absolute or relative altitude), and ALT3 (differential altitude). ALT1 is used for absolute altitude above sea level, while ALT2 can be set for either absolute or relative altitude. ALT3 measures altitude differences from a set zero point.

Altimeter Settings: Users can adjust altitude units (meters or feet) and pressure units (hPa or inHg) for ALT1 and ALT2. ALT1 adjustments are limited to within 3,000 feet of the current displayed height. ALT2 can be set to display altitude in different units than ALT1, allowing simultaneous viewing in meters and feet.

Variometer Functions: The variometer provides acoustic and visual feedback on climb rates. It includes settings for audio volume, climb rate units, and damping levels. The digital vario displays average climb/sink rates, adjustable from 1 to 30 seconds. Acoustic settings allow customization of beep thresholds and pitch changes based on climb rates.

Additional Features: The instrument includes a sink alarm, airspeed display, and temperature display. The sink alarm alerts pilots to rapid descents, while the airspeed display requires an optional sensor. Temperature readings are affected by sensor placement and may lag during rapid changes.

Recommendations: Regularly update altimeter settings based on current QNH values and adjust variometer settings to match personal preferences and flying conditions. Ensure proper maintenance and calibration of sensors for accurate readings.

Specifications and Features:

The instrument includes a stall alarm that activates when airspeed falls below a preset threshold, adjustable in the Option-Mode.
Temperature and airspeed can be alternated on the display, with units adjustable between °C/°F and km/h, knots, or mph.
Airspeed correction can be set to compensate for sensor inaccuracies, with a range of +/- 50% of measured airspeed.

Time Functions:

The device features a real-time clock, stopwatch, and flight timer, with settings accessible via the TIME/CHRONO/MEMO Key.
The flight timer starts automatically upon activation and resets with each new set-mode access unless a flight is detected.

Logbook and Flight Recording:

The instrument logs up to 40 flights, with the oldest being overwritten as new ones are added.
Flight acceptance requires an altitude change of over 100 feet and a duration of more than two minutes.

Barograph Recording (Model 6010):

Records altitude profiles, temperature, or airspeed, with a memory capacity of approximately 130 hours at 15-second intervals.
Data is transferred to static memory every two minutes to prevent loss during power interruptions.

PC Connectivity (Model 6010):

Data can be downloaded to a PC using FlyChart software, which also allows for configuration of user settings not accessible directly on the device.

Battery Information:

The device operates on 2 AA batteries, with the compartment accessible via a screw on the rear housing.

Battery Management: The Flytec 6005/6010 displays battery condition on the analog vario scale. A half-scale reading indicates approximately half battery life remaining. During normal operation, battery status is shown on the LCD. To change batteries, ensure the device is off, replace one battery at a time to minimize power interruption, and preserve time/date settings if done within 30 seconds.

Malfunction and Reset: If the device malfunctions, remove batteries for 5 minutes, then hold the on/off key for 1 minute. After replacing batteries, the device will perform a self-check. Persistent issues should be addressed by contacting a Flytec distributor.

Maintenance and Care: Water damage voids the warranty. If the device gets wet, remove batteries, open the housing, and dry with a hair dryer. For saltwater exposure, rinse with warm water before drying. Do not use a microwave for drying.

Calibration: Altitude, temperature, and airspeed can be calibrated in Option-Modes. Alter these settings only if necessary. For calibration assistance, contact Flytec.

Warranty and Disclaimer: The device has a 24-month warranty excluding physical damage, battery leakage, and water damage. Flytec is not liable for misuse or incorrect data. Safe flight is the pilot's responsibility.

Technical Specifications: Dimensions: 138 x 74 x 23 mm; Weight: 178 grams with batteries. Power: 2 AA batteries, >250 hours life. Altimeter: max 37,700 feet, 3 ft steps. Variometer: analog ±2,000 ft/min, digital ±19,200 ft/min. Speed: 0-99 mph, calibration ±50%. Temperature: -72.4°F to 168.8°F, accuracy ±0.5°C. Time functions include a real-time clock and stopwatch. Barograph records up to 130 hours.

Function Overview: Various keys control functions such as starting/stopping the stopwatch, adjusting values, and setting parameters for altitude, speed, and temperature. The device offers options for audio alerts, unit preferences, and sensor corrections.

Operating Instructions Flytec 6005/6010 How does an altimeter function? A barometric altimeter calculates altitude (elevation) from the actual air pressure of the atmosphere at a given location. Air pressure decreases with increasing elevation, however, since air is compressible, the pressure change is exponential not linear. Altimeters designed for aviation use the CINA (Commision International de Navigation Aérienne) formula to derive altitude from air pressure. In this calculation the CINA– atmosphere is used where standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013.25 hPa (Hecto-pascal) at...
