I use the slow alarm in my '26E. For an alarm at around 46 knots
indicated, I had to set the trigger pojnt to 40 or so - though it tends to vary by a couple knots from day to day. It does seem to be connected to the G meter, as the tone comes on at a higher speed if I'm pulling more G. The tone is kind of modulated as you describe, but it's still easy to to 'read' the vario strength. I've played with the display in screen 10 of the 302 to compare what it thinks my IAS is vs the mechanical airspeed. It's within a couple knots at 65-90, but below 65 it reads slower than the mechanical. They're tee-d to the same pitot, so without adding a 3rd ASI, I really don't know which is correct. I find that the ship thermals best just a bit under 50 KIAS, and much below 46 is nearly impossible to maintain control. This is why the slow alarm is set there. -Tom (Andy Durbin) wrote in message . com... When thermalling at 60-65kts the vario tone was modulated by what I can only describe as a cavalry charge bugle call. Yes, this is probably the slow alarm but it should not have been sounding as the slow alarm speed was set to 40kts. |
