8.2.1.4
Task Start
Task start is a quite complex procedure, especially by high density of gliders who intend to start at nearly
the same time.
As pilot intends to perform task start in a close proximity
A very simple operation should be carried out;
-press on TSK button and after to ARM
A very significant message
ARM
will appear on the display.
This message will remain until first line crossing, after first
line crossing the task will start automatically without pilot
assistance. Task start is accompanied with a very significant
message:
In case that the pilot forgot to ARM start and has crossed the line, execution of
NEXT TP
will solve the
problem.
8.2.1.5
Task Restart
After a bad start and intention to provide a new start, the pilot
is obliged to execute so called Restart function. After press on
TSK button you will find
RESTART
option. After restart the task
will be reset (doesn’t matter on which leg) and a new start
could happen.
8.2.1.6
Task Finish
Task finish will be detected after the glider will finish the finish line. The situation will be accompanied with
a very clear message.
8.2.1.7
Flying AAT
AAT (Assigned Area Task) is a modern manner of task flying on competitions. The basic idea is to set
relative big sectors over turn points and this makes possible that the pilot decides how deep into the
sector will be entered. Usually a time limit is set which prevents to short tasks.
•
set time limit
: use Task/Edit
•
set sector geometry
: use Task/Edit/Zone
•
over turn point:
change to next turn point is exclusively executable after using of NEXT TP
command.
•
move function:
makes possible to adapt AAT distance
and also get informed about important task parameters
as for instance: remaining distance, required speed….
Move function is available after long press on TSK/MOVE
button. Use zoom and volume rotary switches.
Note!
ARM command can be
executed at any time,
even on ground.
Note!
After RESTART, the unit will
change immediately into ARM
status.
Note!
If sector radius is bigger than
10km
,
the unit will recognise this as an AAT
and will set manual change over to
next turn point. Using smaller sectors
by AAT requests manual setting of
No
Auto next.
Note!
If task time will not be set,
many statistics data will lack,
for instance: task delta time,
task remaining time….
