2.6.6.4 Dist to Goal (Total distance to the Goal of a Route)
In this field there is displayed during flight of a Route the sum of the legs lying in front of the
pilot. The distance is calculated from the current position. Thus he knows at any moment,
how much km are still in front of him until completion of the task

2.6.6.5 Distance to starting point
The instrument memorises the coordinates of the point, where the start recognition
(flight acceptance) has begun. This is a GND Speed of 10km/h for more than 60 seconds.
With user field “Dist.Start” the distance to this point can be illustrated. Usually this is the
point from where one has started.
2.6.7 Diff. BGGoal
Furthermore it is possible to pre-calculate the expected arrival altitude above goal over
several waypoints for display in the user defined field „Diff.BGGoal“. This computing
incorporates wind strength and direction, which one has determined by flying a full circle.
Hereby it is assumed that one is flying from the actual position in direct flight to the next
waypoint, and continues from there on the Route. The calculation is assuming that one
is covering the leg with the speed of best glide. On this note it is simply an estimation,
allowing the pilot to determine his strategy under consideration of local topography and
of wind components. The display shows the pilot if he has sufficient height to fly over
the last waypoint directly to the goal. See also chapter 2.7.4 (= L/D ratio) page 32.
