13.15 Navigation Settings
In this menu, several of the navigation settings can be adjusted (Figure. 67).
13.15.1 Safety Margin
The pilot can chose the safety margin they wish to use for any of the horizontal distances. Using
a setting of 8m, (as shown in Figure. 67) would mean that in the case of a waypoint cylinder, a
pilot would be 8 m deeper into the cylinder to ensure that it had been tagged and recorded. For
airspace, they would trigger the buffer zone being 8m further away. The size of the safety margin
can be changed by scrolling through the numbers using the UP and DOWN keys. Pressing ENTER
moves to the next digit.
13.15.2 Turnpoint Size
The default turnpoint cylinder size is set in this menu. The size of the cylinder can be changed by
scrolling through the numbers using the UP and DOWN keys. Pressing ENTER moves to the next
digit. This value is used as the default cylinder size during task creation (see Section
5.2 ).
13.15.3 Datum
Different datum models can be set on the NAV . Options available are WGS 84 and FAI sphere. At
the start of any competition, be sure to check what Datum is used by the scoring system to ensure
that the correct distances are being reported.
13.16 Airspace settings
This menu allows the user to define certain parameters related with airspace. Each of the parameters
can be changed using UP, and DOWN, keys. Pressing the ENTER key confirms the value and jumps
to next parameter. Changes can be undone by pressing the MENU key.
As shown in Figure 13.16 there are 5 parameters related to the airspace.
