COMPETITION PAGES
Pages 1-6 are designed for competition flying:
o
pages 1 and 2 provide information regarding navigation towards a standard waypoint;
o
pages 3 and 4 provide information regarding navigation towards the START;
o
pages 5 and 6 provide information regarding navigation to the final waypoint (GOAL);
N.B. Pages 1 to 6 are disabled by default, in order to activate them, you must set their 6 parameters ( MAIN
SETUP\ n. 26 PG01 to MAIN SETUP\ n. 31 PG06) to STD (to display the standard page your Digifly comes with)
or on USR (to display the custom pages called “USER” previously uploaded to the Digifly using our free software
AirPages).
3.3.1
PAGE 1 COMP FLIGHT (THERMAL) AND PAGE 2 COMP FLIGHT (GLIDE)
Pages 1 and 2 provide information regarding navigation toward a standard waypoint:
o
your current waypoint’s name
o
flight direction towards the optimized point of the current waypoint’s cylinder(FOLLOW ME)
o
required glide to reach the optimized point of your current waypoint’s cylinder
o
shortest distance to the current’s waypoint cylinder (D0)
o
distance to the optimized point of the current waypoint’s cylinder (D1)
o
expected height of arrival to the optimized point of the current waypoint’s cylinder (H1)
o
Cross Track error regarding the route connecting the centers of the waypoint cylinders (XT)
When the instrument recognizes a thermal and you make a turn to fly into it, the automatic page switching
feature will take you to PG01 COMP FLIGHT (THERMAL), which besides the navigation info will also display the
information regarding the thermal itself: Thermal Assist will help you center the thermal’s core better, (DT) will
show you the distance to the thermal’s core and the A3 Altimeter which will show you the altitude difference as
you thermal and will automatically reset (go to zero) when you enter the thermal.
When flying “on a straight line” for a period of time greater to the value set in the VARIOMETER SETUP\ n. 16
CRUT parameter (default 15sec) the instrument will automatically switch to PG02 COMP FLIGHT (GLIDE)
