With its precise pitot tube airspeed indicator and total energy compensation calculator, the 6030 is purpose-built instrument for the keen Hang Glider pilot. Only superseeded in it s functionality by the Blade. It has worldwide familiarity with tried and true performance, providing comprehensive navigation features and virtually unlimited flight recording with an SD card. The battery supply is two banks of AA rechargeable batteries. The smart battery technology allows the 6030 to auto-switch to the secondary battery bank when the primary bank is exhausted and since the batteries are now user replaceable you can always substitute alkaline if you discover at launch that you forgot to charge the batteries. The 6030 has an improved menu structure and terminology and can be set for several different languages. It has an optional Bluetooth connection to a cell phone for real-time tracking, and there is also an SD card slot for future expansion and a USB port for connection to a PC. The pitot tube is easy to remove; the hole is then plugged with a rubber stopper (with a small opening to equalize pressure) to keep dirt from getting in the sensor. For production reasons, actual colours may vary from those shown. Key Features Built-in pitot airspeed indicator with total energy compensation Signature highly responsive Flytec Vario with intelligent filtering Integrated high sensitivity, 20 channel GPS 200 waypoints and 20 Routes (unlimited with SD card) New: WGS84 distance calculation (as required by CIVL from 2018) Bluetooth data to 3rd party device Airspace Flarm (optional) Function Overview Competition route with turnpoint archived notification Advanced real-time flight-path route optimization McCready speed-to-fly and final glide Automatic indication to the last best lift Wind speed and direction User customizable audio and flight functions User-friendly keypad and menu Moving map Simulation mode Automatic flight recording WP lists Simulation mode Restricted airspace warning and map FLARM anti-collision available Bluetooth link to external device available Sleek, compact and rugged housing Primary and back-up rechargeable batteries Superb RF shielding General Robust, shockproof ABS housing, special red finish Operating temperature: 5º to 122ºF (-15 to 50ºC) Altimeter Units: m / ft Resolution: 1 m or 1 ft Range: up to 36,000 ft or 11,000 m Vario Features High precision pressure sensor for a very sensitive variometer Analog display Digital display Sink alarm Units: m/s or fpm Graphic indication: ±1600 ft/min. or ±8 m/s Graphic resolution: 40 ft/min. or 0.2 m/s Numeric indication: ±20,000 ft/min or ±100 m/s Numeric resolution: 10 ft/min or 0.1 m/s Averager: selectable from 1 s to 30 s Thermal averager for McCready next expected climb: selectable from 1 to 10 min Acoustics Volume: 4 levels + Off Climb tone: selectable lower threshold, base frequency, cadence, modulation, dampening Near-thermal tone: selectable lower threshold Sink tone: selectable upper threshold and base frequency Stall alarm: selectable threshold (can be disabled) Turnpoint reached alert tone Airspace approach and entered alert Altimeters & Features Altimeter 1 Altimeter 2 (relative) Altimeter 3 (cumulated) Barometric pressure GPS Features High performance GPS receiver with 48 channels Position determination at 1 Hz Compass Distance and direction to last thermal pointer One button current position display Speed over ground Wind: direction graphic, and numeric direction and speed Last thermal: graphic and numeric direction and distance Up to 200 waypoints can be defined. Up to 20 routes, each with 30 waypoints can be stored. Automatic pilot notification, when an FAI/competition cylinder is passed (enter or exit). Automatic or manual start and stop of data logging. Up to 291 hours of FAI/IGC data logging memory at 60 sec record interval, 9 hours at 2 sec and 48 hours at 10 sec (recommended). Automatically records a point upon entry/exit of FAI sector/turn point with acoustic and visual notification. Each track log point records: longitude, latitude, altitude (pressure + GPS based), true airspeed, ground speed. Competition routes; if you have a competition route active at launch, the IGC file will contain the corresponding C-records. Final glide computer displays the expected height over target and height above best glide as well as to the five closest waypoints in memory Screen & Display Large, high contrast, graphic LCD display 2-3/8" x 3-1/8" Resolution: 320 x 240 pixels Simulation Mode Flights may be simulated and features can be tested. User Defined Pages & Data Fields Analog and digital displays can be set to the pilot's preferences. Three user-pages with 7 user-selectable data fields per page can be chosen from: Time (Time of Day) Flt Time (Flight time since take-off) Vario (Digital Vario) Alt 1 (Absolute altitude) Alt 1 (ft) (Absolute altitude in feet) Alt 2 (Reference altitude, user-defined) Alt 3 (Cumulated altitude gain during the flight) FL (ft) (Flight level in feet.
