10 INFOBOX REFERENCE
10 InfoBox Reference
InfoBox data types are grouped into logical categories.
All InfoBoxes display their data in user-specified units. Where data is invalid, the displayed value
will be ’–’ and the contents are greyed out. This happens, for example, when no terrain data is
found or it is not in range for the Terrain Elevation InfoBox type.
In the following description of the InfoBox data types, the first title is as it appears in the InfoBox
configuration dialog box, the second title is the label used in the InfoBox title.
10.1 Altitude
Height GPS
This is the height above mean sea level reported by the GPS. Touchscreen/PC
only: in simulation mode, this value is adjustable with the up/down arrow keys,
and the right/left arrow keys also cause the glider to turn.
Height AGL
This is the navigation altitude minus the terrain height obtained from the terrain
file. The value is coloured red when the glider is below the terrain safety
clearance height.
Terrain Elevation
This is the elevation of the terrain above mean sea level obtained from the
terrain file, at the current GPS location.
Pressure Altitude
This is the barometric altitude obtained from a GPS equipped with pressure
sensor, or a supported external intelligent vario.
10.2 Aircraft state
Bearing
True bearing of the next waypoint. For AAT tasks, this is the true bearing to
the target within the AAT sector.
Speed ground
Ground speed measured by the GPS. If this InfoBox is active in simulation
mode, pressing the up and down arrows adjusts the speed.
