📟 Buying guide: Choosing the right flight instrument

Depending on your level and your practice, different types of instruments are available to you.

1. Types of instruments

• Sound Vario: light, simple (Stodeus, SYS'One)
• Vario + alti (screen): progress (SYS'Alti)
• Alti + GPS: cross, thermal (Flymaster, Syride)
• Connected: competition, advanced navigation

2. Main brands

• Syride: simple, flexible cockpit
• Flymaster: configurable screen, full GPS
• Stodeus: ultra-light, solar

3. Selection criteria
   Weight, autonomy, mounting (cockpit/elevator), integrated GPS or not.

Tip: A simple vario that is used well is better than a poorly mastered GPS.
