4.4 Changing settings
4.4.1 Dropzone Offset
You must set the dropzone offset whenever the
aireld and the dropzone where you intend to land
are at different elevations.
CYPRES allows for adjustments of up to plus/
minus 3000 feet, or plus/minus 1000 meters. If an
adjustment has been made, either „meter“ or „ft“
is shown on the display. If „meter“ is shown, the
displayed value is in meters. If „ft“ is shown, the
value is in feet.
Switch on CYPRES only at the takeoff site on
the ground. In order to make the dropzone offset
adjustment, simply leave your nger pressed rmly
on the button when you press it for the fourth time
during switch-on. CYPRES will continue with its
self-test, and once it has nished, it will display 30
