The concept of flight phase programming
General information on ight phase programming
During a flight, you will often want to apply different
settings – e. g. flap or trim settings for a fixed-wing air-
craft or collective pitch and throttle servo settings for a
helicopter – at particular times in the flight (e. g. take-off,
approach, hover, auto-rotate, etc.). With transmitters
mc-16 HoTT and mc-20 HoTT, you can access
such presets automatically using switches or control
switches.
Flight phases are also of great utility during flight test-
ing. You can configure various set-ups and then switch
between them during the flight: this enables you to
identify the most appropriate program set-up for your
model quickly and easily.
The basic programming procedure is a three-
stage process
1. First, you have to set up the different flight phases,
i. e. you assign names to phases 1 … max. 7. Each
name is then shown in all phase-specific menus
and also on the basic display. To avoid abrupt tran-
sitions when switching between the various phases,
you can also program a period of time during which
a “soft” transition to the next phase takes place.
For fixed-wing aircraft programs, these settings
are made in the »Phase settings« menu. The pro-
gramming of helicopters begins with either the »Ba-
sic settings, model« menu, if you wish to set up
autorotation or, otherwise, with the »Phase set-
tings« menu.
2. In the second stage, you use the »Phase assign-
ment« menu to set up the required “phase switch-
es”.
3. Once these are set, you can then move to the flight
phase-dependent menus (see the tables below) to
start programming the settings for the individual
flight phases.
