Navigation in APT, TP or TSK
There are five navigation pages; the first one is described below.
Note!:
The glide ratio indicator consists of two numbers separated with an E (43E77). The left figures show the average glide
ratio achieved during the last two minutes, while the right figures show the minimum glide ratio required to reach the
APT, TP or finish the task. The over-range indication is '99', which means that the glide ratio is in excess of 99:1.
When
flying a task,
the minimum glide ratio is calculated on the total distance to the finish line, including all
uncompleted TPs, and any preset safety altitude. This function is very useful when the final glide is being set up around
one or more TPs
The Airport and TP names are normally displayed using 8 characters, but by pressing the
START
button, 12 characters
will momentarily be displayed. The course correction arrow (Direction Indicator) shows which way to turn (left or
right) to reach the desired APT or TP.
Rotating the
UP/DOWN
selector will bring up the graphic page. The airports will be shown with both symbols and
short names or ICAO-code. (see para 3.1.2)
The glider symbol remains in the centre of the screen and the map moves under it. To change the displayed range,
simply rotate the
ZOOM
knob anti-clockwise to increase the range or clockwise to decrease it.
The third navigation page which includes a course deviation indicator (CDI) can be disabled in setup under the PAGE 3
option.
