Assigned Area Tasks (AAT)

In fact an assigned area task is a speed task where the task distance is not exactly defined.

The pilot has limited influence on the task geometry due to larger observation zones

(assigned areas). The pilot decides how far he will fly into each individual area to reach

best average task speed and not finishing the task earlier than the designated task time.

An assigned area task has the same structure as other tasks and all known methods to enter

are the same as described. The only differences are larger observation zones having a

specific geometry. Use the

ZONE

button (see chapter

Error! Reference source not

found.

) to modify the individual observation zone.

It is also recommended to use the AAT assistant tools, such as optimal track and AAT

isolines. Optimization is only shown for currently selected assigned area.

When

Show optimal track

is enabled, small blue arrow is drawn next to aircraft. This

arrow indicates most optimal direction to fly.
