The first stand-alone HAWK variometer is now available in 57mm and 80mm, featuring an IGC-certified flight recorder, Bluetooth connectivity, and a backup battery.

HAWK (HAWK winds, HAWK vario, and AHRS) all included as standard in the SxHAWK.

Features from S10/S100 that are NOT included in the SxHAWK varios:
Note: These features cannot be added to the SxHAWK. The SxHAWK is not upgradeable in regard to these software features. It is NOT possible to buy a software upgrade for these features. If you think you may want these features – consider an S10 or S100 instead.

No Waypoints – waypoint files are supported, waypoints not displayed, no moving map, no waypoint screen/mode, no navigation
No Tasks, no task screen/mode
- A task edit screen will be accessible through the Settings, Flight recorder screen. It can be used to create a task that will be used at the task declaration for badge and record flights.
- The NanoConfig program on an Android device, which is normally used with a Nano logger, can also be used to upload a task declaration to an S10, S100, S8, S80, or SxHAWK vario.
- Soaring software can be used to send a task declaration to the SxHAWK – the same as done with an S10 or S100 or S8 or S80. This can be done over Bluetooth or using a cable connected to the PDA port on the back of the vario.
A task edit screen will be accessible through the Settings, Flight recorder screen
No Airspace – airspace files not supported, airspace not displayed, no moving map, no navigation
No Navigation
No Final Glide Calculations
No Profiles (settings files – sometimes called pilot profiles)

The SxHAWK varios are very powerful speed-to-fly variometers with IGC Approved GPS flight recorder, built-in back-up battery, built-in Bluetooth, and built-in HAWK with AHRS. They have an extremely powerful processor and use a MEMS inertial platform and pressure sensors. The built-in 320 x 240 pixel color displays are used to display parameters such as vario average, thermal average, altitude, battery level, speed-to-fly push/pull indicator, MacCready setting, etc.

Get real-time wind with HAWK
Real-time wind indication – 3D wind. HAWK option enables instantaneous wind readings on all 3 axes.

Measurement
HAWK uses sensor fusion and advanced digital signal processing to estimate the air mass movement.

3-dimensional wind triangle
HAWK applies an “extended Kalman filter” (EKF) algorithm that jointly estimates all three dimensions of the air mass movement.

Instant results
EKF estimates the wind direction and velocity instantaneously (horizontal and vertical). No more waiting!

No compensation, no compromise
No compensation needed, since it uses no law of energy conservation. More accurate netto vario readings independent of glider speed.
No false thermals due to wind gusts = No more “stick” lift.

Wind indication
Wind screen enables you to view the instantaneous wind on the blue arrow and the wind average on the white arrow .

2 needle vario
A red and blue vario needles at the same time. Red shows the value of computations of the TEK while light blue shows the value of the EKF.

AHRS
The results of the attitude estimate of the EKF can also be displayed as an artificial horizon.
