Operating Modes
 Prev: orients the zone in direction of the incoming leg and is usually used for the finish.
 Start: orients the sector always towards the start.
If the Line box is checked the sector will become a line type of observation zone. The
Radius1 parameter defines half the width of the line length. Use the PAGE selector knob to
increase the radius by 0.1 of the selected distance units and the ZOOM selector knob to
increase the radius by 5 units.
If Line is not checked the Angle1 parameter will define the basic shape of the observation
zone. A value of 180° means that the zone is a cylinder and 45° is the classic FAI sector.
Rotate the PAGE selector knob to increase the angle by 0.5° or use the ZOOM selector knob
to choose values 22.5°, 45°, 90° or 180°.
Angle2 and Radius2 are used for more complex observation zone setups.
When changing observation zone parameters the screen is automatically updated to display
the new zone.
Check the AAT checkbox, if you want to make the selected zone an assigned area. The
AAT checkbox will be automatically checked when Radius1 is greater than 10 km.
By default navigation to task points will be automatically advanced; uncheck Auto next if
you do not want to change over to next point when reaching selected point. This option will
be automatically unchecked when Radius1 is greater than 10 km.
Press the NEXT>> button when you are happy with the changes and to continue with the
next observation zone setup.
If the zone is for an assigned area turn point it will be marked with symbol '#' in
front of the point name.
