The feature of the civilian
CYPRES properties were
adapted to the various military
models. The activation altitude
and speed criteria are based
on the military model. see
reference data in the user's
guide). While on the ground it
takes care of all meteorologic
pressure changes during the
next 14 hours.
Useful if you are doing training
jumps, when Take OFF and
landing Target DZ) will be at
the sa e location / elevation.
Flight counter available on
Training Mode flights only.
The unit can be set to every
DZ on this globe, whether it is
the Dead Sea or the Himalaya
or even to a higher virtual DZ
e.g. HAHO jump.
It is possible to do the
programming prior to Take-
OFF, during flight and even
inside an active pressurized
cabin.
Just enter the absolute air
pressure value hPa) of your
Target DZ into the control unit
display.
