5.5.5.4 Wind
LX8000 constantly calculates winds using four different methods. Speed difference method is
used during circling and is taking into account ground speed difference in single circle.
Position drift is calculating wind based on position drift during circling. Minimum three circles
must be done to get first wind measurements. Third method is combination, which takes into
account also airspeed received from vario unit.
If compass module is available, wind is also estimated using wind triangle. Calculated wind is
stored in layers. Layer height is 300m or 1000ft and can not be modified by user.
