5) Bluetooth connection and use with flight applications

The Solar transmits and can receive variometer data in real time via Bluetooth to your smartphone. It can be used with compatible flight applications such as XCTrack, FlySkyHy or Syride Link, allowing you to benefit from a complete system combining variometer, GPS and navigation. The Solar provides variometer data, while your smartphone provides GPS data for flight recording.

Connection to a flight application

Once the Solar is turned on, it automatically becomes visible to compatible applications for 5 minutes.

To connect it:

• Turn on the Solar.

• Enable Bluetooth on your phone.

• Open your flight application (XCTrack, FlySkyHy or Syride Link).

• Add the Solar as a Bluetooth sensor in the application settings.

Once connected, variometer data is automatically transmitted to the application. The connection is saved by the application and will reconnect automatically during future uses.

⚠️ Important note: If after 5 minutes the Solar has not been connected to an application, it will automatically disable Bluetooth until the next startup.

Use with Syride Link

The Syride Link application allows you to take full advantage of the Solar.

It allows in particular:

• instrument configuration,

• automatic flight recording,

• transfer of flights to your Syride flight book,

• access to connected features of the Syride ecosystem.

When the Solar is connected to Syride Link, variometer data is combined with the phone’s GPS data to record a complete flight.

Use with XCTrack, FlySkyHy and compatible applications

When the Solar is connected, the application uses the Solar’s variometer data to provide accurate and responsive vertical information.

This notably allows:

• improved variometer responsiveness,

• more precise lift measurement,

• improved flight comfort.

The Solar operates in combination with your phone’s GPS, which provides position, speed and navigation data.
