Digital variometer XC Vario

electricembeddedfor aircraft

The ClearNav Instruments vario system has been designed to provide glider pilots with the best possible climb and speed-to-fly guidance, as well as valuable secondary information, including wind speed and direction, air and ground speeds, and altitudes. The vario can use either probe or purely electronic Total Energy compensation. It fits into a single 57 MM hole and the “black box” (Air Data Computer or “ADC”) can mount either directly to the display module or separately for maximum flexibility. The vario has been designed to be fully compatible with the “ClearNav” display and, through the use of a serial data port, can also integrate with other moving map/glideslope devices. Go to CNv Vario Features for details. We are now hard at work on completing and testing many new features. Models The ClearNav Vario is available in two models: “Club” and “Cross Country”. Both models offer state-of-the-art total energy variometry for climb and cruise. High performance pressure transducers and advanced digital filtering yield rapid, but well damped response. Feedback from our customers confirms that the vario has an uncanny ability to respond to lift without the frequent false alarms which plague other fast varios. A highly visible mechanical pointer responds rapidly and smoothly to glider vertical motions, and a high resolution digital display shows both a short-period average rate of climb, and the average since the climb began.
