All LX navigation devices come with a built-in backup battery in case of electrical failure with at least 3 hours of operation.
Numerous competition and badge flights have been saved with backup battery power.
We designed the smart and intuitive button layout for the best user-experience in the cockpit.
User experience is superb, as you move through pages with rotary knob and select your options with push function. Each page is designed to be readable and clear to understand.
Transflective display technology is the best to use in cockpit. And we did it. The Era has the biggest display in an 80mm device on the market.
We strive to make our instruments easy to install and use. That is why we use CAN BUS to connect our devices.
It is always smart to have a backup. That’s why the Era has a backup battery and an IGC approved flight recorder built inside.
Choose between multiple LX accessories, all designed to be simply connected via CAN BUS and ready to use.
Pilot can choose which information will be displayed and 2 or 4 information layout. Always visible are clock, outside air temperature (OAT), wind, battery and status icons. “VAR” marks the current vario mode which can be Vario (VAR) or Speed command (SC).
Era comes with full navigation to Turnpoint (TP), Airport (APT), Task (TSK) and Nearest landable (NRST) which will navigate you at any given moment to the nearest landable point with airspace support on all navigation pages.
Once pilot enters the thermal and starts to circle, Thermal assistant page will appear on the main screen. In the centre, is the relative direction of the wind with its direction and speed.
On the left side of the screen is the Indicated airspeed tape and on the right side is the Altitude tape. Follow the bigger red circles to hit the centre of the thermal.
