The flight mode indicator depicts whether the device is currently in straight flight, or circling
mode. The common way to transition between the two modes is by activating the SC (Speed
Command) button/switch, or by using one of the automatic ways, implemented into the device.
For additional information on how to setup different input switches, check the Inputs section.
For additional info on how to change between flight modes automatically, check the Vario/SC

speed units. For info on how to set units, check the Units setup menu.
