When flying in an assigned area it is NOT important when you will advance to next
tu
rn point. The system
is always taking into account the most optimal fix inside
the assigned area for the total distance calculation.
7.2.6
Moving Point Inside Assigned Area
I
f at least one observation zone is defined as an assigned area, it is possible to move
the
point within this area. Moving the point will increase or decrease the total task length.
Select the
MOVE
action within task mode. A dialogue with the current as
s
igned area will be
shown.
In the upper
-
right corner the remaining task distance is shown as well as the required task
speed, remaining
task time, delta time and estimated time of arrival.
Delta time
is the difference between the remaining time and ti
m
e of arrival. If it is
negative you will arrive back too soon and if it is positive you will arrive too late.
Keep in mind that the time o
f arrival can be calculated using different methods which
are
found in the QNH and RES setup (see Chapter 5.1.1).
A point is moved using the lower two knobs.
Press the
DIS/BRG
or
LON/LAT
button to toggle between
the two methods of moving the
point.
When the
DIS/BRG
button is shown the point is moved in the x, y direction. Us
e the PAGE
selector knob
to move the point in north/south direction or rotate the ZOOM selector knob
to move the point in east/west directio
n.
If the
LON/LAT
button is shown the point is moved in radial and azimuth direction.
Radial
direction is indicated
with red line
drawn
through
the
whole sector. Rotate the
PAGE
selector knob
(page selector) to move the point in the radial direction from
the area centre.
Use the ZOOM selector knob
(zoom) to move point in the axial direction.
If more than one assigned
a
rea is set for a task the
NEXT>>
button is shown in the lower
line. Press this button
if you would like to move
the point into another assigned area.
When moving a
task point to which you are navigating and AAT optimization is enabled (
see
C
5.1.6.8) additional lines will be shown in zone.
A line represents equal task speed,
therefore
the p
ilot should fly always perpendicular to th
ese
lines in order to maximize
performance.
Lines are calculated based on
E
TA calculation.
