change batteries or return to manufacturer for service. Memory backup is by Super Capacitor. This
is good for about 10 hours at least(usually much longer- some weeks), so after entering a task after
briefing you can turn off the instrument and when about to launch turn it on again with the planned
task preserved.
There is also no facility to store pre planned tasks. The reason is that turnpoint selection is so
simple that it isn't necessary to store pre planned tasks. This simplifies the instrument operation
greatly.
LOGGER
A logger function is included as we have plenty of spare memory. The logger will not be IGC
approved for several reasons including that we do not use pressure altitude only GPS altitude which
is better in our opinion. Logger setup is done in the B2000User.exe program (logging interval, fast
log timeout etc). The logger requires no other user intervention. MARK POSITION creates an extra
logged point and can be used to mark starts etc. and also begins fast logging for your preset
interval. Fast logging also automatically starts when within 1.5 times the observation zone radius of
a turnpoint. The last flights are automatically stored until the logger memory is full, then
automatically overwritten from the beginning of logger memory so the most recent flying is always
stored. WARNING. There is no battery, the memory uses a Super Capacitor for power so the flight
log won't be there after a few days or weeks.
FLYING WITH THE B2000
Normal operation only requires you to power up the B50/GPS/B2000 system, check that after 30
seconds or so that the GPS is navigating (GPS good will appear) and select a task to fly on the
PLAN page. (This can of course be changed while airborne)
Once airborne, the GRAPHICS or FLY TO pages will give navigation guidance.
If flying set FAI type tasks or POST type tasks we recommend you set the B2000 to AUTO
turnpoint rounding. (TASK TYPE page) This minimises pilot operations on the B2000. Just fly to
the start sector and follow the big arrow on the GRAPHICS page. In POST tasks just change the
next turnpoints as you like.
Restarts are handled by going to the PLAN page, putting the cursor on the start point(it will have a
# or & at the end of the name, showing you started), changing to another name and back again. The
# or & will disappear.
For AAT tasks you must use MANUAL mode for turnpoint rounding. You can use auto mode for
start and finish though and this is recommended, although you may prefer to use manual for
everything and this is OK.
If local soaring or when you just want to fly to a place without altering the entered task (it may be
more convenient to do this later) you can use the "DIRECT TO" mode accessible on the
INFORMATION page. You will not get valid flight statistics in this mode.
Alternatively use "manual" turnpoint rounding and simply have only the home field on the PLAN
page.
We envisage DIRECT TO mode to be used when you have a set FAI type task but wish to fly via
places which have known good landing areas(not necessarily airports) on any given leg. It is NOT
intended to use this mode instead of the PLAN page but it lets you keep your set task and get valid
statistics but temporarily go "off task" using the DIRECT TO mode.
If you want valid statistics you will need to enter a task on the PLAN page and fly it. Even AAT
tasks will give you good statistics if you do this.
