2. Introduction
The LX160 is an electrical vario meter and final glide calculator with the ability to receive
NMEA sentences from an external GPS device (COLIBRI, LX20, LX400, GARMIN …). This way
the LX160 calculates a final glide to a point selected on the GPS device. The LX160 calculates
the wind component. Without the external GPS device, the LX160 functions like a normal
electrical vario meter with final glide calculation. The pilot just enters the parameters
(distance, wind component, altitude of target point, polar). This instrument is made on the
LX5000 principle, so all the mathematics about final glide calculations are the same as the
LX5000.
This manual will teach you about the device, its functions and all the advantages. Please read
it carefully before you install the device. The best way to learn basic and more advanced
functions about the LX160 is to turn it on at home and go step by step through this manual.
We have done our best to achieve, as little handling during the flight as possible, if the on-
ground preparation has been optimal.
The manufacturer doesn’t take the responsibility for possible mistakes or misprints in this text
and gives no guarantee for accuracy of this manual.
This manual has been written with the greatest care and we have done our best to avoid any
mistakes but with all respect please check any doubtful statement and let us know. We would
be very grateful and we thank you in advance for any comment.
