Knowledge base.
Guides, procedures and technical articles for LX navigation instruments.
What is in the box, how the Era is installed and wired, what to configure before the first flight, and the settings pilots most often get wrong.
Choosing the right iris, mounting it so the attitude is accurate, pitot and static, alignment, the calibrations that belong to the aircraft, and a troubleshooting table.
What carries over from the old system, what is new behind the panel, how to choose the vario indicator, what data to bring across, and the first-flight checks.
Termination, topology, where to feed the power, cable and connector practice — the five installation mistakes behind almost every intermittent panel fault.
Declaring a task before flight, the five ways a task reaches the recorder, what the declaration carries besides turnpoints, the logger settings that matter, and the three routes for getting the IGC file off the instrument.
Power, the two FLARM ports, antenna placement that decides your range, which licences unlock which functions, and how to verify your installation from recorded contacts rather than from the ground.
The LED ring colour by colour, the start-up sequence, the idle and warning screens, the fault indications and the audio warnings — plus which cable your FLARM needs.
Two instruments that share their software: the gestures and knobs that drive them, the pages they show, the databases they need, the settings worth doing once, and how to update them.
What the red warning square means for each of the ten switchable warnings, what triggers it, what to do about it — and the warnings that are really settings, including the silent vario and the airspace alert that never comes.
This document describes FLARM Eagle WiFi update procedure.
All Iris devices contain internal backup battery that enables the device to run uninterruptible in case of the main power supply malfunction.
What still exists for instruments out of production: repair while parts last, IGC recalibration and resealing, download-centre pages per device, getting your data off before retirement, and the natural upgrade for each family.
