6.13 Competition – Route: Set - Alter - Delete

When a Competition Route (which is treated differently than a usual route) is called up for a
flight, there are only a few differences when setting or changing it.  The route can be set up
with the help of the keypad similar to a normal route or can be transferred from the PC.
The Competition Route can be altered, WPs in it can be erased, but its name, however,
cannot be deleted or changed.
Each  one  of  the  other  routes  can  be  copied  to  replace  a

Competition Route by pressing the

key. For each of

the  WPs  in  the  Competition  Route,  a  different  cylinder-
radius  can  be  assigned  (20m  …200km).To  do  so,  select
the WP and press briefly the Enter key.  Usually the Start
cylinder  belongs  to  the  first  WP  of  the  Comp.  route  (not
mandatory).  If,  during  inserting  or  changing  the  WPs,  the

key is pressed, an “S” for Start Cylinder appears

behind  the  waypoint’s  name  and  cylinder  radius  (the  “S”
disappears if the same key is pressed again).  For the Start
Cylinder, the user chooses if the race begins by “Entering
or  Exiting”  the  cylinder  circumference.  Only  if  a  WP  is
marked with an “S” is it necessary to also set a Start time
and  a  Start  mode  (Enter  or  Exit).  By  confirming  Enter  or
Exit, the pilot defines if the race begins by flying in or out of
the  circumference.  If  no  Start  Cylinder  is  determined,  the
pilot can launch whenever he/she wants and the automatic
switch over to the next WP occurs as soon as he/she is inside the cylinder. Sometimes the
pilots  can  choose  to  start  at  multiple  start  times.  The  number  of  start  gates  and  their  time
interval  must  be  entered  when  setting  up  the  Comp.  Route.  The  example  above  shows  3
possible start gates at  14:30   at 14:45   and at  15:00 .If only one fix start time is given, the
number of gates has to be set to 1 ; the interval then does not care.
There  is  also  a

count down timer

linked with the Start Cylinder. This lets the pilot know

exactly how many minutes and seconds are left until the window is open.

6.14 Flying a competition route

Because

COMPETINO

’s GPS receiver confirms its new position every second, it only takes

one second for the pilot to know that he/she is crossing the cylinder circumference. In this
case, a 2 second long, unmistakable tone sounds (

Waypoint reached

) and the unit

automatically switches to the next route waypoint. It is guaranteed that several track log
points within the cylinder are stored at one second intervals in the memory of the

COMPETINO

, totally independent of what recording interval is used during a standard flight.

During  a  flight  with  a  defined  start  time,  the  pilot  can  see  on  the  Info  display  how  many
seconds/minutes  are  left  before  the  opening  of  the  Start  gate.  The  time  counter  shows
decreasing,  negative  numbers.  Only  when  the  time  counter  has  reached  0  and  starts  to
count forward (showing positive numbers) the pilot can decide to cross the circumference of
the start cylinder from outside to inside (if the start mode was set to ENTER) and the other
way round (if the mode was set to EXIT.) The “Waypoint reached” signal is heard and the

COMPETINO

automatically switches to the next WP.

The

Dist.to WP

always calculates the distance from the pilot’s present position to the center

of the active WP cylinder. The user field

Dist.Cyl

however, calculates the distance from the

pilots position to the circumference of the active cylinder.
