Westbender - Thanks for the comments.
Power testing - You don't have to power up/down to test? Hmmm, that was not my experience - just deploying the airbrakes with gear up didn't do it, I had to power cycle. Different vintages of 302s? Documented Tones - I mis-spoke. After a careful review of the 302 manual all the tones are documented in various scattered parts of the manual - sometimes within the various screen settings and more clearly in Section 7 "Flying with the Cambridge DDV". This shows that re- reading the manual following the euphoria of new-avionics-itis is important. I would have preferred a concise review of the tones...something like; Climb Tone - In Climb mode, lift is indicated by a broken audio tone. The tone's pitch and beep rate are proportional to the climb rate. Sink Tone - Sink is indicated by a continuous tone. The tone's pitch is proportional to the sink rate. Speed to Fly Tones - In Cruise mode, short beeps and the UP arrow mean you should slow down (pull up). A continuous tone and the DOWN arrow mean you should speed up (push over). No tone indicates correct speed to fly. Minimum Speed Warning Tone - A di-di-dah “Slow Alarm” tone will be heard if the glider's airspeed is below the threshold. Gear/Airbrake Warning Tone (optional) - A “European Police Car” sound will be heard when; 1) Unlocking the airbrakes when airspeed rises above 25 knots. 2) During flight with the landing gear retracted and the airbrakes are unlocked. The above should include references to the relevant sections of the manual. Thanks again, John |
