Functions Overview

* Total integrated flight instrument with 16 channel GPS receiver and integrated patch antenna.
* Robust ABS housing, aerodynamic with soft edges.
* Integrated NiMh batteries, providing more than 25 hours of usage with GPS receiver clocked with a 1 second update rate. Longer update rates will increase usable operating time. Batteries are quick charge types without memory effect. They can be charged from a wide range AC power outlet or directly from the car or directly by different solar panels.
* The large display (60mm x 80mm) is a high contrast LCD graphic type with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixel = 1/4 VGA
* The display offers different analogue and digital readings. The pilot may adjust the displayed data to his own preferences. For each of the 6 user fields, the pilot may choose of a list of different items.
These include
- Wind speed
- Wind direction
- Time
- Flight time
- Speed over ground
- Diff. speed between TAS and groundspeed
- Height over destination
- Distance to destination
- Bearing
- Track
- Direction to best climbing
- Temperature
- A2 (QFE)
- A3 (cumulated altitude)
- HPa/inHg
- L/D Ratio (through air, over ground, to waypoint)
- Voltage (all time controlled, voltage and remaining battery time is displaid)

* The keypad helps navigating through an easy menu structure. 2 soft keys are event driven. During flight, the most important settings are performed directly, without navigating through different menus.
* The audio is adjustable over a wide range. If desired, volume can be automatically controlled by speed.
* Up to 200 waypoints can be defined.
* Up to 20 routes, each with 30 waypoints can be stored.
* Automatic pilot notification, when an FAI cylinder is passed.
* Automatic navigation to the last best lift
* Automatic logger start and stop
* Up to 96 hours of FAI/IGC logger memory
* 2 different speed sensors may be connected: pressure based speed sensor (pitot tube integrated) to satisfy the requirements of fast hanggliders or speed probe (wheel-type) for paragliders.
* TEC
* All user settings can be performed using the keypad.
* Increased McCready and glide path features
* Last but not least, the IQ COMPEO offers a perfect "simulation mode” where all features can be tested and simulated. This function allows to become very easy familare with the instrument.

The integrated flight calculator allows a guided flight to all memorised waypoints, showing the expected height over target.

Dimensions/weight 180 x 96 x 45 mm, 0,425 kg (without fixture)

Easy task copy from IQ COMPEO to IQ COMPEO cable free with IR (Option for a later version)

Input of official observer identification possible. This locks the FAI part of the logging until landing.

There is no need for taking photos (FAI/IGC released for gliders)

Automatic scan rate increasing near FAI-sector with acoustic and optic pilot notification. Additional, scan rates can be adjusted in the range 1 to 60s for off-sector flying. During in sector flying, a scan rate of 5s minimum is set automatically. Up to 96 hours of FAI/IGC–flights can be documented. As a minimum, for each scan the following items are stored: longitude, latitude, altitude (pressure + GPS based), true airspeed, speed over the ground, wind direction, event marker.  

Easy transfer to PC after landing. Data in the PC is stored in the approved IGC-file format as well as the standard NMEA protocoll. Private and public key allows secure decoding and authentication of data. The gliding market already offers standard software for flight data in IGC-format. These programs have many features, including an automatic validation of the flight task.
