Equipment Overview
Most of our gliders have LXNav S100 or S80 electronic variometers/flight computers. Radios, transponders, oxygen equipment varies much more as PIC you are REQUIRED to understand the equipment in the glider your are flying. This page (and the individual glider pages) will be updated as time allows to cover all the equipment. This is a work in progress. If you’d like to help with this project please contact the webmaster.
