Description

Smart, digital variometer

Next generation

Packed with features

Era variometer features IGC+ENL flight recorder with backup battery, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, TP, APT, TSK and NEAREST navigation with airspace support, G-meter, FLARM radar and more.

Equip your club gliders

Era is perfect for club gliders. The installation and use is simple and intuitive without compromising any features.

Super smart yet simple

From ground up, we reinvented the graphic user interface and made the user experience simple yet sophisticated.

Replace old vario system

The Era was designed as upgrade of older vario-navigation units and will fit into the standard instrument panel cutouts.

Intallation and configuration

The back is as important as the front

LX navigation strives to develop easy to use as well as easy to install gliding instruments. To provide clear functions and actions, we mark every button or rotary knob.

The same applies to the back of the device, where we mark each port. The installation and wiring should not take more than 30 minutes of your time.

Backup & memory

Backup battery is our standard

All our devices come with backup battery in case of electrical failure with at least 3 hours of battery juice inside.

We have been able to save numerous competition flights with backup battery power and made it a standard, because we understand how important it is, to have a backup.

3 hours

2 push buttons, 2 rotary push buttons

We designed the smart and intuitive button layout for the best user-experience in the cockpit.

Simple control over the complex device

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.

The biggest transflective display on the market

Transflective display technology is the best to use in cockpit. And we did it. The Era has the biggest display in 80 mm device on the market.

Connectivity is the key

We strive to make our instruments easy to install and use. That is why we use CAN bus to connect our devices.

Just in case, you have backup

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.

Plug & play accessories

Choose between multiple LX accessories, all designed to be simply connected via CAN and ready to use.

Configuration of the main page

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).

Full navigation with Nearest landable page

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.

Thermal assistant

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.
