    HAWK Update Webinar

    Title: “The blue needle shows a larger value than the red TEK needle: It’s not a bug”

    Presenter: Heinrich Meyr
    Hosts: Paul Remde of Cumulus Soaring, Inc. and Toni Šibanc of LXNAV

    Abstract:
    By far the most frequently asked questions by users has been why the potential climb rate is often substantially larger than the climb rate of the TEK vario. We will explain that the algorithm is working perfectly well. The aerodynamical reason for the
    difference between the two needles is caused by the so-called plateau effect of modern profiles. The plateau effect produces a much larger sink rate in turbulent thermals than is predicted by the theoretical circular polar. We show experimental results
    of the effect based on analyzing the data of a large number of flighty by different pilots flying different gliders.

    To optimally exploit the structure of thermals we propose the dual instrument approach : in circling the TEK - and the HAWK vario are complementary.
