At any time during the race, the pilot can toggle back and forth manually between previous
and upcoming WPs by pressing the
▲
or
▼
keys. This is useful when a pilot wants to break
off from a task and restart at a later time. In this case he has to press “Prev.WP”; the active
WP again is the Start cylinder and the time counter shows the remaining time to the next
start gate.
Even during the flight along the Competition Route it is possible to select additional
waypoints (thermal sources) by pressing the
Goto
key (prolonged pressing). These WPs are
sorted according to their distance from the pilot. The WPs that are part of the Comp. route
are marked with an asterisk in the displayed list which means that their cylinders must be
entered. The alarm remains active when entering a called up waypoint cylinder along the
route, even if a waypoint not belonging to the route has been selected. With the
F2
button it
is possible to toggle back and forth between a WP of the Competition Route and another
WP.
After completing a flight task, the WP belonging to the Competition Route will be listed in the
data transferred to a PC under the header of the IGC file. A corresponding PC program can
also check if the assigned task was completed correctly.
When setting up a Competition Route without a Start Cylinder and without a Start Time, the
automatic switch over to the next WP occurs as soon as the pilot flies inside the first cylinder.
Due to this, it is advisable to choose the “Take off” place for the first WP because,
immediately after receiving satellites, the unit will switch over to the second WP.
