Latest Air BT and Air BT pitot firmware update details

Digifly AIR-BT & AIR-BT-Pitot New 506a firmware
Our latest firmware, version 506a-019, is now available; the most important new features are:

Distance Calculator (in compliance with FAI-CIVL 2019 Cat. 1 regulations)
- Earth model: the Main Setup n.42 DCAL parameter is now active and the "Distance Calculation Mode" is operative:
FAI = FAI Sphere , WGS = WGS84 Ellipsoid (default WGS84)
Important: set this parameter according to the local rules of each competition you fly.
- Distance tolerance: the Main Setup n. 43 DTOL pameter is now active and the "Distance Tolerance" is operative:
ranges from 0.0 to 0.5% (default 0.0 %)
Important: set this parameter according to the local rules of each competition you fly.

Waypoint Altitude
The naming protocol where the altitude of a given waypoint is included in its name (last 3 characters) is no longer active and the altitude is added in its own separate field. Please make sure the waypoints you are provided by an event organizer include this information.
Previous firmware version had both options: information on separate field and the instrument would also read it if contained in the name.

MicroSD memory card
Improved microSD card functionality: AIR-to-AIR data transfer enhanced with the use of the microSD card (for example: transferring waypoints, routes, pages and sound profiles).
