available items ordered alphabetically. Select the item that you want to be shown in the display and
press “ok”. The selected item will appear in the middle of the display, ready to be positioned and/or
resized.
There are 36 items that you can choose from. Here is the list ordered by function.
Flight data
Acceleration: total acceleration determined by the optional external sensor C-Probe, in units
of “g”.
Altitude: it is the altitude with respect to the sea level determined by the pressure sensor
reading.
Altitude GPS: it is the altitude with respect to the sea level determined by the internal GPS.
Height over terrain: shows your height with respect to the ground. To operate correctly, this
field requires that the terrain map of your flight area is correctly loaded in the device, even if
not shown in the map. Warning: Compass s.r.l. does not guarantee in any way the
correctness of the terrain file and therefore does not guarantee also the correctness of the
height above ground.
Altitude limit: indicates the maximum allowed altitude at your current position depending on
the currently-loaded airspaces and on the limits entered in the active task.
Round compass: this item has a double function. It shows the direction that you are flying to
with respect to the ground. The cardinal points rotate showing where the North is. If a task or
a go-to is active, a big arrow in the middle will indicate the bearing to your next waypoint. A
small green circle indicated the direction to the centre of the next waypoint. A small blue
triangle on the round compass circle indicates the direction of wind. Two small blue triangles
indicates the direction of the wind and that the speed of wind is more than 1/3 of the pilot’s
speed. A red triangle indicates that the speed of wind is more than of pilot’s speed.
Heading: shows the direction of motion in degrees with respect to the North.
Magnetic heading: magnetic heading determined by the optional external sensor C-Probe.
Distance from take-off: distance between your current position and the take off point.
Flight duration: duration of the current flight, starting from the moment when C-Pilot PRO
has detected the take off.
Glide ratio: shows the glide ratio with respect to ground. It averages the horizontal and
vertical speeds over the time interval set in the configuration page (see page 16). The
symbols beside the numeric value indicate whether you have to accelerate or decelerate to
fly at maximum glide ratio, taking into account also the wind. Two upward-pointing triangles
mean that you have to increase your speed more than 6 km/h (3 km/h each) to fly at
maximum glide ratio. One triangle suggests a speed increase of 3-to-6 km/h. A diamond
means that your speed is correct. Downward-pointing triangles analogously suggest slowing
down.
