The “WP reached” signal will be given, as soon as the start time is positive and the pilot
crosses the start cylinder circumference from outside to inside. In this case the next active
waypoint will be enabled, in this case WP2. All calculations and the direction arrows are now
related to WP2
If the pilot decides to take the next start gate, he may press the Prev WP ▼ key. (Select
this Menu with prolonged pressing on McC ; /WP). He may carry out this operation
regardless if he is inside or outside of the start cylinder. The instrument then enables WP1
again and will increment the start time by the preset difference. When the last start gate is
reached, the start time will no longer be increased upon pressing of „Prev. WP ▼“.
Caution: for ENTER cylinder it is required that the first waypoint after the start cylinder is
inside and usually in the center of the start cylinder!
During a flight the pilot can see at the Info display via Count-Down how many seconds /
minutes are left before the opening of the Start line. At the same time he can read in the
display „Dist to WP“ if he is inside or outside of the start cylinder.
It is also possible during Competition-Route by pressing the
keys to toggle back and
forth between previous and next WP. This is useful when a pilot, after having left the start
cylinder, has decided to fly back and to restart at a later time.
It is also possible by use of the Goto-key (prolonged pressing) to call-up additional waypoints
(thermal sources), sorted according to their distance from the pilot. The WPs being part of
the Comp.-Route are marked with an asterisk in the displayed list; this means it is mandatory
that they must be approached. Even in case a WP not belonging to the Route has been
called-up, the alarm remains enabled when entering the cylinder of the WP belonging to the
Route. With the F2 key it is possible to toggle back and forth between the WP of the
Competition-Route and the other WP.
After completing a flight task, the WPs belonging to the Comp.-Route will be listed in the data
transfer to a PC under the header of the IGC file. A corresponding PC program can also
check if the assigned task was completed correctly.
In order to comply to IGC Regulations, there are newly entered into the IGC-file in addition to
the turning points also the „Take off“ and the „Landing point“.
When setting up a Competition-Route without a start cylinder, i.e. without a start time, the
automatic switch over to the next WP is effected, as soon as the pilot is inside the 1. cylinder
radius. So it makes no sense to choose the “Take off” place for the 1
st WP because
immediately after receiving satellites the instrument switches over to the next WP.
The following shortcuts are certainly helpful in this context:
McC ; /WP :
Next Prev. ▲▼ WP = next or previous waypoint
Info/Htwind: HT man. ▲▼ = Manual or automatic entry of Wind component
(Head-Tail-Wind)
F2/Alt2: Mod Alt2 Modify altitude Alt2; or set to 0 with F2
