Operating Instruction Flytec 6005/6010 3 Operating Instruction Flytec 6005/6010 3 Operating Philosophy Flytec’s philosophy is to produce user-friendly instruments. When you turn on the instrument the instrument will go through a self test and proceed to the Run-Mode. A quick press of each key in the Run-Mode lets you access the main functions of the instrument. Hold a key down for about three seconds to call up Set-Mode for that function. From there, a further three-second press will call up Option-Mode for that key. In Set-Mode and Option-Mode, the keys labeled START/STOP/RESET and...

Operating Instructions Flytec 6005/6010 Run-Mode During normal use the instrument is in Run-Mode. In this mode the instrument shows analog and digital sink/climb rate, airspeed (if the optional sensor is plugged in), temperature, altitude, altitude difference, time, battery condition and the activated acoustic signals. In Run-Mode you can call up the following direct functions by briefly pressing the keys: • volume of the vario acoustic sink alarm on/off alternate between two barometric altitude displays (ALT1/ALT2) reset altitude difference (ALT3) stop watch start/stop/reset change between...

Operating Instruction Flytec 6005/6010 Switching the Instrument ON / OFF Switching the Instrument On The date and time are displayed when the instrument is off. Date Time To turn on the instrument, press and hold the On / Off “TIME/CHRONO/MEMO” Key until you hear a beep, and then release it. After a short display test you will see the Startup Screen. Startup Screen Battery condition: 10= full... 0= empty The Startup Screen shows the serial number, the battery condition and the date. The analog scale on the left shows the battery charge. Power Up indicator Serial number Day, month and year...

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)...

Operating Instruction Flytec 6005/6010 7 * Only if no flight acceptance is Altimeter 1 (ALT1) Altimeter 1 indicates the absolute altitude above sea level. Press the Altitude Key to alternate between displaying ALT1 (current barometric altitude) and ALT2 (reference barometric altitude). Set-Mode ALT1 Press the ALT1/ALT2 Key for three seconds while ALT1 is shown in the display, to bring the instrument into ALT1 SetMode. The altitude and the QNH display fields will flash, modeindicating that they can be set; use the arrow keys to adjust your current altitude/QNH. Note that the QNH changes as...

Operating Instructions Flytec 6005/6010 From ALT1 Set-Mode, press the Altitude Key for three seconds to bring the instrument into Option-Mode. After making each change, use a quick press on this key to confirm and go to the next option, or wait three seconds to keep your changes and return to Run-Mode. Option 1: Unit [set altitude units] Use the Arrow Keys to set the units of altitude to feet or meters. Option 2: Unit QNH [set pressure units] Use the Arrow Keys to set the pressure units for ALT1 to hPa or inHg. Option 3: Corr [correct air pressure] Use the Arrow Keys to correct the pressure...

Operating Instruction Flytec 6005/6010 Altimeter 2 (ALT2) Absolute / Relative Altimeter 2 can be used as an absolute or as a relative altimeter. When used as an absolute altimeter, ALT2 is coupled with ALT1 and it functions in precisely the same way as altimeter ALT1. Altimeter 2 can then be set to display the altitude in meters and altimeter 1 in feet, allowing you to view your current MSL altitude in feet and in meters. When used as a relative altimeter, ALT2 displays your current altitude with respect to a reference point (e.g. launch, landing field, goal, etc.). This reference point can...

10 Operating Instructions Flytec 6005/6010 10 Operating Instructions Flytec 6005/6010 Option-Mode ALT2 From ALT2 Set-Mode, again press the Altitude Key for three seconds to bring the instrument into ALT2 Option-Mode. Option 1: Unit [Set altitude units] Use the Arrow Keys to set the units of altitude to feet or meters. Option 2: Rel/Abs For the ALT2 value only, you can choose to use relative or absolute values. TIP: To view your current altitude in both meters and feet, change this option to ABS and set the units for ALT2 to m. In Run-Mode you can now toggle between ALT1 and ALT2. IMPORTANT:...

Operating Instruction Flytec 6005/6010 11 Variometer For the soaring pilot the variometer is the most important element of the instrument, since it tells the pilot if he is climbing or descending. The 6005/10 will tell you, both acoustically and visually, if you are climbing, how fast you are climbing, as well as the rate of change in your ascent. With the Option- and Set- modes you can customize the vario functions to you personal preferences. Variometer Overview Operating Instruction Flytec 6005/6010 11 Analog Vario Display Each graduation on the analog bar scale equals forty feet per...

12 Operating Instructions Flytec 6005/6010 The 6005/6010 will beep when you are climbing at a rate greater than a predetermined threshold. As your climb rate increases, as shown in the analog vario display, the frequency and pitch of the beep increase linearly. The rate at which the pitch and frequency increase can be set in the Vario Option-Mode (option 4). The threshold at which the beeping starts can be set in the Vario Option-Mode (option 3). By adjusting these two values you can optimize the vario acoustic to suit your soaring conditions. In option 5 of the Vario Option-Mode, Automatic...
