By the way, with its 68g it is the lightest Vario with a display! SkyDrop is a middle-class instrument, dedicated to a wide range of pilots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFunctions aimed at:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnce the pilot is autonomous in basic skills (take off or landing), they are thirsty for air time. SkyDrop will gratefully help with this mission. It doesn't need to sit on the cockpit of a cocoon harness, or even worse - at old school leg mount. Instead of that, a riser mount puts the instrument right in front of the pilot's eyes, where they can easily read all that is needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe recommend a riser mount also for advanced pilots, due to safety reasons. When using a riser mount, the pilot can operate the device with a brake in their hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHowever small and lightweight SkyDrop is, we found some space for a complete set of motion sensors. Their fusion with the best available barometric sensor creates high sensitive compass or instant Vario reaction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe competition pilot at the front of the leading gaggle needs reliable backup. SkyDrop generates FAI1 class IGC tracklogs and has waypoint navigation with route length optimization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Tandem pilot has very limited space for instruments, but SkyDrop on passengers' shoulders or helmet easily solves this situation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo you like hike\u0026amp;XC? SkyDrop with its 68 grams in combination with your mobile phone is all you need for these exciting adventures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA riser mount is ideal for \"always looking up\" acro pilots, who also need some kind of instrument. SkyDrop can provide safety features like altitude alarms, or just G-force meter for fun.
