8 AVIONICS AND AIRFRAME
• Airbrake
• Flap position (positive, neutral, negative)
• Landing gear
Other logical inputs from Vega include computed quantities relating to specific airframe alerts and
aircraft operating envelope warnings, for example “airbrake extended and gear retracted”.
Refer to the Vega documentation for more details on switch inputs and how they may be used.
8.3 Switch Status
When a Vega is connected, the switch status is shown on the last page of Status , which is
available from the menu:
CONF Status Show
This page is updated in real-time, allowing the pilot to check the correct functioning of switches
during daily inspection tests or before takeoff.
8.4 Aircraft radio transceiver
Monitoring and setting the active and standby frequencies of aircraft transceivers with serial con-
nections are currently in development. The goal is to provide the functionality whereby the radio
frequency can be set with one button press (requiring confirmation by the pilot) when the aircraft
flies into controlled airspace or enters an airfield’s advisory/mandatory broadcast traffic zone.
8.5 Supported variometers
XCSoar supports inputs from triadis Engineering’s Vega variometer and TR-DVS digital voice
system, Cambridge Aero Instruments 302 DDV and GPSNav, Borgelt B50/B500, LX Navigation
LX1600 variometers, Zander variometers, and Tasman Instruments variometer.
