The height over the current Waypoint (H1) is based on the following information:
Altimeter A1, Distance to Waypoint, Waypoint Altitude and Average Glide Ratio (ground
related).
The Waypoint Altitude has to be included in the Waypoint name in the format:
aaaNNN or edited when a mark position is stored.
aaa = 3 alphanumeric characters with the name of the Waypoint.
NNN = altitude above sea level in tens of meters.
e.g. MIL157 indicates that the Waypoint MIL has the altitude of 1570 m
above sea level.
The Average Glide Ratio is continuously calculated during a glide and stored as soon as
a lift is reached. It is displayed in place of real time glide ratio when you are in a lift.
To change the time (in seconds) over which the Glide Ratio is averaged, go (ADVANCED
SETUP \ n. 5 EFFA).

REQUIRED EFFICIENCY TO THE CURRENT/NEXT WAYPOINT AND TO ARRIVAL AT GOAL
This is the estimated efficiency (glide ratio or L/D) required to arrive to the Waypoint
and is calculated only if navigation to a Waypoint or Route has been activated.
This information is shown by the “efr1”, “efr2”, “efrA” data values on the 3 main display
screens (Thermal Display, Glider Compass and Glide Plotter).

DIRECTION TO CURRENT AND NEXT WAYPOINT
There are two different direction indications from your current position:
-
The “Direction to Current Waypoint”.
-
The “Direction to Next Waypoint”.
7.17
SAFE LANDING GLIDE CONE INDICATION
This function is activated when the Waypoint
has the Landing Icon selected.
If you are positioned within the circle, with your current glide, you
should be able to reach the landing area as shown in the figure.
