NIELSEN-KELLERMAN ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF THE CLEAR NAV, AN INTEGRATED FLIGHT NAVIGATION SYSTEM FOR SOARING

The newest product in soaring navigation takes the potential of cockpit navigation to new heights

BOOTHWYN, PA... Nielsen Kellerman, manufacturer and distributor of performance electronics for rowing and Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters, announces the latest in glider cockpit navigation, the Clear Nav.

The Clear Nav system is an integrated cockpit navigational instrument and display providing full situational awareness for glider pilots. The ultra bright display makes the screen easily visible, even in full sunlight. The Turn Area Task Management feature allows you to focus on flying rather than making constant adjustments in the air. The glide amoeba technology accounts for current conditions and makes viewing alternate landing spots simple and straightforward. The Clear Nav’s visual representation of features including; special use airspace, terrain, water bodies, culture, control points and airports, and task information, are displayed in an intuitive format designed to minimize the pilot’s distractions and maximize information accessibility and safety.

The Clear Nav features:

  • State-of-the art display
  • Sophisticated software functions
  • A full-function remote keypad
  • Multiple installation options
  • A simple user interface
  • Integral GPS & secure flight recorder
  • Airspeed/wind input compatibility
  • Near unlimited memory and easy data transfer
  • Vibrant, bright display eliminates squinting- easily readable in full sunlight.
  • Single screen and Glide-Amoeba makes viewing alternate landing spots simple and straightforward

"The ClearNav really has to be flown with to fully appreciate how it changes the way you use a flight computer. I'll bet a pilot looks inside the cockpit a full 50% less with a ClearNav than with any typical setup. The information is all there in one instant intuitive glimpse," glider pilot Terry Stroud says of the Clear Nav’s ability to visually display a range of information in a simple format.

The development of the Clear Nav is more than a divisional expansion for NK. The Clear Nav is the realization of NK’s President and avid glider pilot Richard Kellerman’s ultimate vision for soaring navigation. It was designed to emphasize brightness, visibility, simplicity, usability in flight and on the ground, durability and reliability as well as compatibility with all popular instruments and software available. Multiple installation options are available.

For thirty years, Nielsen-Kellerman has been known worldwide for its waterproof speed measurement, timing and audio systems for competitive rowers. Nielsen-Kellerman’s Kestrel Weather division has been researching, developing and manufacturing technically advanced portable weather instruments for more than 10 years and owns multiple patents on their unique features.
