Flight Log

The Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) is compatible with the AR12110 PowerSafe.

The Flight Log displays overall RF link performance as well as the individual

internal and external receiver link data. Additionally it displays receiver voltage.

Using the Flight Log

After a flight and before turning off the receiver or transmitter, plug the Flight Log

into the Data port on the PowerSafe. The screen will automatically display voltage

e.g. 6v2= 6.2 volts.

When the voltage reaches 4.8 volts or less, the screen will flash indicating low

voltage.

Press the button to display the following information:

A - Antenna fades on antenna A

B - Antenna fades on antenna B

L - Antenna fades on the left antenna

R - Antenna fades on the right antenna

F - Frame loss

H - Holds

Antenna fades—represents the loss of a bit of information on that specific antenna.

Typically it’s normal to have as many as 50 to 100 antenna fades during a flight.

If any single antenna experiences over 500 fades in a single flight, the antenna

should be repositioned in the aircraft to optimize the RF link.

Frame loss—represents simultaneous antenna fades on all attached receivers. If

the RF link is performing optimally, frame losses per flight should be less than 20.

The antenna fades that caused the frame loss are recorded and will be added to the

total antenna fades.

A Hold occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one

second. If a hold occurs during a flight, it’s important to reevaluate the system,

moving the antennas to different locations and/or checking to be sure the

transmitter and receivers are all working correctly. The frame losses that led to the

hold are not added to the total frame losses.

A servo extension can be used to allow the Flight Log to more conveniently be

plugged in without having to remove the aircraft’s hatch or canopy. On some

models, the Flight Log can be plugged in, attached and left on the model using

double-sided tape. This is common with helicopters, mounting the Flight Log

conveniently to the side frame.
