Note!
Tasks that you want to upload to Zeus
should be a part of a .cup file and should
be selected in SETUP/TRANSFER as
TP/TSK file.
It is very important that you
name the task, otherwise the Zeus
won’t recognize it.
4.4.2.1
Selection from Near
LX Zeus Near function offers Turn point selection based
on distance. Respected that there is also Country filter
active, use

if you want to get all turn points listed.

Navigation to a Turn Point
Navigation towards a
turn point doesn’t differ to navigation to an airport, so refer 3.3 for details.

Task Mode
Task is a complex process that guides the pilot around the turn points of the task. Each task consists of
turn points, start point and the finish point. Additionally take-off and landing can put in, but those points
don’t have any influence on task execution.
4.5.1
Task organization
Zeus has storing capacity for 101 tasks. 50 tasks can be
imported in one
.cup
file and such tasks are called
imported
(IMP), next 50 can be created by
user
in LX
Zeus (by hand) and those tasks are called User (USR).
After creating or selecting TSK, the TSK is automatically
declared.
4.5.1.1
Task declaration
Declaring the task is an automatic process. After a task is constructed and exit is pressed (Volume knob) a
very clear message on the LX ZEUS screen appears: TASK DECLARED! This means that LX ZEUS will
start sending the declaration data to loggers. The declaration is sent to Colibri II automatically
– with all
TPs, edited zones, limitations etc... Colibri II has the priority and will receive the data first. After this,
declaration data will be sent to FLARM. The process will take about 30 seconds. After the process is finished
all LED lights will switch off on the FLARM display and the red POWER light will start blinking. This means
that the process of sending task declaration to FLARM is finished.
4.5.2
Task selection
To select task from LX Zeus active task store use
Select
button and select screen button
TSK
. Use Zoom knob to
select task of interest. During the selection process all task
relevant data will be present. Confirm selected task by
pressing Zoom knob and you will get another window with
task details. Exit by pressing on Volume twice, or wait until
the window will escape automatically (if you have auto
close inactivity timeout set).
