2.4 Time of day and Date

Remark: time of day and the date do not need to be adjusted. They are taken automatically from

the GPS-Receiver. However, any time zone difference from UTC (World Time) needs to be

entered with a positive value if the time zone is located East of Greenwich, or a with a negative

value, if it is at the West of it. Time zones with 0.5h UTC offset are also adjustable.

This setting is entered with Main Setup Menu

Timezone.

Important: all internal calculations of the instrument are made in UTC (Coordinated Universal

Time). The local time is just used as „Time“ display and calculates simply the UTC plus or minus

the UTC offset.

For the take-off time the local time is binding.

2.4.1 Flight duration (flight time)

The take-off time is automatically recorded. For this purpose the GPS needs to be activated.

Moreover, only flights which are lasting more than 2 minutes are log recorded.

The flight time and all min. / max. values are presented on the Info page  short pressure

on the key

i- Info. After 20sec. the previous display screen shall automatically reappear again.

The unit will also recognise autonomously the end of the flight. It is the basic condition for the end of

the flight that neither speed over ground has been measured with more than 10 km/h during min. 60s,

nor that the Vario has pointed to more than 0.1 m/s.

2.5 Temperature

The 6015-GPS is provided with a temperature sensor for the temperature compensation of

pressure sensors, as well as for the automatic display contrast control. Temperature reading is

possible in degree Centrigrade or Fahrenheit. Main Setup Menu

Units.

Remark: the temperature sensor measures the internal circuit board temperature, but in no way

the outside air temperature! The inside temperature of the casing may be higher or lower than the

ambient air temperature, especially when the instrument is exposed to direct sunlight.

The Temperature is displayed on Page 1.

3 Navigation

Navigation activities without operating GPS-Receivers is unthinkable these days. Indeed

a chain of satellites is orbiting the Globe. It provides the possibility to determine worldwide

one’s own position very precisely, if minimum 4 satellites are received simultaneously.

The Flytec 6015-GPS calculates several readouts by position determination made by GPS.
