 Track, Bearing Minimize

An arrow on the map shows the direction of your destination. A second bar shows how far off track you are.

 If you prefer a classical Track and Bearing display, you can switch to it at any time.

The system displays your distance to the destination and to the next route point. It will also give an ETA to both waypoints and destination.

 Charting Minimize

CAA Chart.jpgThe FlyAngel comes as standard with the three UK CAA 1:500,000 scale charts, but can incorporate almost any map within reason so that you can always fly with a map that is familiar to you. The FlyAngel can also be expanded with Jeppesen European charts.

On the system, the charts can be scrolled and zoomed for optimum view.

 Terrain Height Display Minimize


The FlyAngel has built-in terrain awareness. With the Terrain Warning switched on, the FlyAngel will automatically colour the display according to the relative height of the terrain. Red represents terrain within 100 vertical feet and yellow represents terrain within 500 vertical feet of current altitude. The user can also select to display a box on screen with the aircraft's approximate height above the ground.
