Note!:
Use the DISMISS function to temporarily deactivate individual airspace warnings. All warnings can be reinstated
using the RESET WARNINGS command in the SETUP/Warnings screen.
ALTITUDE warnings can be setup in a similar way and inform the pilot that he is approaching pre-selected altitude
limits.
The warning altitude is always above MSL (Mean Sea Level). The warning will be activated at a specific time before
reaching the altitude limitation. While thermalling, the achieved climb rate is used to calculate when the warning
altitude is going to be reached and similarly, in straight flight, the descent rate is the controlling parameter. Operation
of the altitude warning is the same as for the airspace warning and use of the DISMISS and RESET DISMISS TIME
commands are identical.
2.1.2.5 SETUP GPS
UTC: A UTC offset can be entered at this option, thus ensuring that all time references are to local time rather than
UTC. However, it should be remembered that any offset will have no effect on the time recorded in the IGC flight log;
this will always be UTC
GPS EARTH DATUM: It is not possible to change the GPS earth datum. IGC regulations require that all flight
recorders use the WGS84 earth datum.
2.1.2.6 UNITS
All known units and combinations thereof can be programmed in the LX 7007 PRO IGC. The various units that can be
selected are outlined below:
