Aircraft Telemetry Variometer Sensor SPMA9589
Key Features
Variometer data indicates the rate of ascent and descent for sailplanes
Compact size easily fits in most sailplane applications
The internal sensor automatically senses barometric pressure in order to determine rate of climb
and altitude with no calibration required
Built-in altimeter provides altimeter information giving the end user accurate readings of altitude
above ground level (AGL)
Fully compatible with the Spektrum™ DX6 (SPM6700), DX9, DX18 G2, DX18QQ, DX10T and DX18T;
DX8 only compatible with altimeter functionality
TM1000 DSMX® Full Range Aircraft Telemetry Module required for operation

Overview
The variometer is a telemetry sensor for sailplanes that indicates the rate of ascent and descent via an audible tone using select Spektrum™ transmitters*. This provides an indicator to the pilot when the sailplane is in a thermal of rising , or sinking air. By knowing when the sailplane is rising or sinking, the pilot can keep the sailplane in rising air and out of sinking air providing longer flight times.
Know when your sailplane is in a thermal and fly longer durations with the Spektrum variometer.
*Fully compatible with the Spektrum DX6 (SPM6700), DX9, DX18 G2, DX18QQ, DX10T and DX18T. DX8 only compatible with altimeter functionality.
