Task Mode
Task navigation mode is used for task manipulation. Navigation in this page is exclusively to
the selected turn point of the declared task.
A task can be created only from way points stored in the active way point file. A
task can be loaded from tasks stored in the active way point file. A task can also
be saved to an active way point file (see Chapter 5.1.5.4 for details how to set an
active way point file). A task used for navigation will also be declared in the IGC
file.
Task mode has four pages. Use the lower-right knob to switch between pages. These
pages are designed to suit needs for racing tasks as well as for assigned area tasks with
minimum task time.
The first page is identical to first pages of the airport and way point modes. It shows
navigational data to the current turn point. However the final glide indicator always shows
the required altitude to complete the task.
On the second page additional data is shown:
•
current netto vertical speed
•
current track
and
groundspeed
•
tDis
shows the remaining total task distance.
•
tskE
shows the required glide ratio to task finish.
The third page is designed for tasks with time limits which are in most cases going to be
assigned area tasks. Three new symbols are added:
•
Tsk.Sp:
which is task speed achieved up to this moment.
•
tReq.Sp
: this is the required speed to task completion and is calculated as the
remaining task distance divided by the remaining time.
•
TRemain:
indicates the remaining task time.
The fourth page has no map and shows time values for the task being flown and the
elevation of the finish point. In addition outside temperature, potential temperature and
battery voltage are shown.
