Usually the Start cylinder is the first position of the
competition route. (not mandatory) If during setting or
changing the route, the key is pressed prolonged,
an “S” for Start-Cylinder appears behind the waypoint’s
name and the cylinder radius. (The “S” disappears if the
same key is pressed again) Only if a WP is marked with
“S” it is necessary to set also a Start time and a
Startmode : Enter or Exit. By confirming Enter or Exit
he/she defines if the race begins by flying in or out of the
circumference. If no Start-Cylinder is determined the
pilots can launch whenever they want; the automatic
switch over to the next WP occurs as soon the pilot is
inside the cylinder.
If in a competition a start cylinderand start time is defined, the start is valid if the start time is
reached and the following conditions are valid:
Startmode EXIT:
If the pilot crosses the radius from inside to outside
Startmode ENTER: If th epilot crosses the radius from outside to inside.
In Version 1.16, multiple start gates can be chosen:
It is now possible to set multiple start times in the Competition Route. Multiple start gates are
only possible if they are evenly spaced. The number of gates and the interval must be
specified (along with the first start and the start cylinder size) when the start point is defined
in Competition Route. In the example below there are 3 starts gates with the first start at
12:30 followed by 12:45 and 13:00 start gates.
EXIT cylinder:
WP1
Exit
WP2
WP3
When the Competition Route is set as an exit start the “waypoint reached“ signal will be
given as soon as the start time is positive (countdown timer) and your position is in the start
cylinder. It will also sound if the start time is positive and the pilot crosses the start cylinder
from outside to inside. In both cases the sound is given to alert you that it is time to go to the
next turnpoint and the next turnpoint will become active (in this case WP2). All calculations
and the direction arrows are now with respect to WP2.
If the pilot wishes to take the next start gate, he must press the Prev WP key. If this soft key
is not visible, it can be brought up by pressing F1 until the bottom line shows Prev/Next WP.
By pressing the Prev WP key the instrument will set the start (WP1) as the active waypoint
and increments the start time by the interval set in the Competition Route. If the last start
