2.6.8 Relocating Thermals
With weak or widely dispersed thermals this function
helps to relocate any lost thermals. A small arrow
pointing up in the compass rose shows the direction
to the last thermal with at least a 1 m/s climb. If this
arrow is positioned at the top of the display, then you
are flying towards the thermal, however, if it is
positioned in the lower part of the display, you are
flying away from the thermal.
In case one wants to use this function, then the
indicator "Dist Therm" should additionally be
activated in the user defined fields. This value
indicates the distance from the pilot to the last
Thermal.
The threshold level to which the arrow should be pointed can be set under
Main Setup Menu
⇒
User Settings
⇒
Variometer
⇒
Thermal threshold from 0.5 up to 3m/s.
Therefore the arrow is not pointed directly to the centre of the thermal, but to its periphery,
as one obviously should relocate the entry area.
2.6.9 XT Error, Crosstrack Error
This field indicates the shortest distance (perpendicular to the Track and related to a map
view) to the active leg of a Route.
Pos 3
Start Goal
Waypoint
Positive
value
Negative
value
The accuracy of the indicated value depends on the length of the active leg. The largest
Inaccuracy arises in the centre between start and the next waypoint, if one is very close to
the track (the angles become very flat). With 50 km distance between start and waypoint, the
inaccuracy in the centre can reach up to 400m. Positive values are displayed if one is
on the right of the track, negative values on the left of the track. Even if one has cross flown
over the next waypoint, the distance to the straight line is shown. (see position 3).
2.6.10 Air Space - CTR (Restricted areas)
On the 6020-GPS up to 150 CTR’s can be entered. The CTR’s may comprise straight lines
and arc segments, or also be circles. These sectors appear in the Map Mode.
Each CTR may be composed of max. 110 waypoints.
