represents the first point from the above example and the third one is the final one from which you fly
home.
Finishing the task
An FAI Triangle is not finished unless you fly back to your start point. One finish fix within 1 km radius
from another fix that occured before turning the 1st waypoint of the optimized triangle is required to
finish the task. It may be a single fix if you started your triangle in one of its corners. It is a whole series
of fixes between soaring begin and the first waypoint if you started the triangle on one of its legs.
FAI Triangle Assistant also helps you identify the exact course to fly by always highlighting a 1km
diameter circle around the closest available finish fix.
Rotating the area
Sometimes the flight requires much more thinking than the above examples. You may wish to know if
your current leg is long enough already to cover Town X with the FAI Area of your current flight. For this
reason you will want to rotate the FAI area from its current position. It can hardly be easier to do -
simply tap on the FAI Area on the moving map and it will rotate. If you are on your first leg (or not far
enough on the second), it will rotate left/right around the first leg. Once you are far enough on the
second leg to make it obvious which way you are going to fly the triangle, it will rotate around the legs.
All this provided that "Rotate on click" is enabled in the settings, which - by default - it is.
The FAI Area icons may also be placed on the Command bar if you wish to have quick and constant
access to them in flight. There are options for toggling the FAI Area and Rotating the FAI Area under
Menu > Settings > Commands .
FAI Triangle Assistant preferences
If you would like to influence the look and feel of the FAI Triangle Assistant you may do so through Menu
> Settings > OLC & FAI Area dialog.
Example shows kilometer lines for Triangles between 80 - 120 km. If you fly into the violet area, the
triangle will be an FAI triangle.
