Glider

Here you can select the glider to be used for your flight.

Glider selection list
In this list you can select one of the gliders defined before in Settings/Gliders. The glider is listed with its type, registration and competition sign. The list is empty, if no glider definitions do exist.

Deselect button
Pressing the button will deselect the current selected glider in the list.

Co-Pilot
Name of the Co-pilot, if the gilder is a double seater. The name is recorded in the IGC log file.

Load coor
Here you can adapt the reference weight of your airplain, used during polar measurement, to the actual situation. An adaption is necessary, if the weight of the pilot and his luggage (not the water ballast) do substantially differ from the reference weight. The entered correction factor is included in the final glide calculation.

Water ballast
Here you can define the water ballast, filled in in your glider before take off. The entered value is included in the final glide calculation.

Wing load
If you have defined a wing area for your glider, the wing load is displayed here in Kg/m².
