LX8040

The legend remastered

The successor to the original hero of the LX80/90xx series is here. 2021 sees the birth of the next generation of small compact high end navigational instruments and 8040 is spearheading it. It comes packed with a V8 variometer (optionally with V80). A 4.0″ anti-glare display that fits everywhere and an automatic light sensor that adjusts that brightness and optimizes the power consumption.

IT’S TIME FOR AN UPGRADE!

FLIGHT RECORDER. Integrated.

High-level IGC approved flight recorder with advanced engine noise level sensor. With MOP and MOP2 devices also JET, Electro and FES approved

Statistics.

Many statistics are available during and after the flight. Real time OLC scoring is available during the whole flight.

The Map. Details. Whole world.

Preloaded worldwide terrain, map, airspace and airport databases  – FREE of charge!

ICAO. IFOS. Rogersdata.

Buy and load your own ICAO maps.

LX Philosophy.

We’ve kept the same logic, that has already been well-proven on LX4/5/70xx devices.

APT mode. RWY info. NEAR mode.

Airport mode navigates to a selected airport with all necessary information, such as RWY direction, length, frequency and type (grass/asphalt). Each page layout can be completely customized using LX Styler.

Waypoint and Task Mode.

Very easy selection of Waypoints with an intuitive user interface. Create a task on the device or in SeeYou and simply load it via the SD, USB or Wi-Fi.

CUP files supported!

Assigned Area Task AAT.

The AAT assistant shows the most optimized direction for maximum speed on the task. A very accurate time calculation helps you to arrive home precisely on time.

 

FLARM Mode.

This feature displays all types of FLARM objects. ADS-B and PCAS objects can also be displayed if compatible, external devices are connected.

FLARM Visual Radar With Audible Warnings.

The Radar shows all necessary data. The target’s present position, altitude and vertical speed are displayed on the map. For each new alert a pop-up appears automatically when a potential collision occurs. The system will also trigger a sound and/or voice warning.

Internal/External.

Flarm/PowerFlarm can be either an internal or an external module.

ADS-B In.

Optionally can be built in.

Live traffic data via ADS-B on your LX8040

GPS module. USB.

56 channel GPS module built in and USB port for data exchange.

SD card socket optional.

Wi-Fi. Now integrated.

No more bulky antena at the back. Integrated Wi-Fi frees up you USB port and allows for more compact instrument installation.

Optimized Terrain Schemes.

14 Terrain presets available.

CUPx files: Landable Fields With Pictures.

Create your own Waypoint file with terrain photos.

Wind.

An inertial variometer provides a very accurate wind indication during straight flight.

4 different methods are used to precisely calculate wind speed and direction.

4 METHODS

Precise calculation composing 4 calculation methods.

Wind Side Profile. Wind Arrow.

The wind altitude profile displays the wind indication at different altitudes. The wind arrow shows the current wind direction. The arrow can be customized in size, position and colour.

HAWK wind calculation

Real time wind

The HAWK platform applies an “extended Kalman filter” (EKF) algorithm which jointly estimates all three dimensions of the air mass movement – INSTANTANEOUSLY

No compensation, no problem

No compensation needed, since it uses no law of energy conservation. More accurate netto vario readings independent of glider speed.

V8 / V80 variometers

This next generation line of inertial variometers is unequalled in the market.
