The all new Ascent H1 vario has the same great features as our original vario but now with GPS functionality. New features include GPS calibrated altitude, ground speed, heading, glide ratio, and track logs that can be downloaded in both kml and igc formats using our own easy to use software interface. The logbook records start of flight time and date, flight duration, min and max altitudes, max and average climb rates, max sink rate, min and max temperatures, and distance and direction from launch after landing.

Flymaster Avionics presents the GPS SD Plus, a new intermediate instrument designed for Cross-Country flying with all of the functions of live tracking. The GPS SD Plus has all the XC flying features of the NAV SD and LIVE SD, except those specific of competition flying.

Features include:

• more robust ( new shock absorbing system which makes the display almost unbreakable),
• includes 6-degrees of freedom Tilt-compensated Compass
• SD Card which provides extended memory.
• Flymaster includes 3D AIR-SPACES on the GPS SD Plus, promoting significantly increased safety.

As with other products in the range, the GPS SD Plus allows pilots to design their own multiple screens, with the new FLYMASTER DESIGNER software. With the user friendly DESIGNER, every pilot can enjoy designing any screen he wants, each with the data he wants, placed where he wants, in the size he wants! No more complaints about small figures: everyone can set them the favorite size! And cross-country pilots can set up all the tricks they want for each circumstance and personal preferences! Brilliant!

The Flymaster GPS SD Plus is navigation made simple for leisure and cross-country flights, ensuring the best value for money on the market, and adding a significant increase in safety with the 3D restricted air-spaces features.
