Preparing a Task

While it is advisable to prepare the task properly before taking off and thus avoid mistakes
made in a haste, all the following actions, preparing, editing, loading and saving, can be
done while in the air. But then, the task cannot be declared in the air.
There is only one task which can be declared. This task will be automatically
declared in the IGC file on take-off. The task can also be modified during flight
but any changes will not be written to the IGC file.
There are currently three methods to create a task.
 Read waypoint and task file from SD card and load a saved task.
 Load a similar task and modify it.
 Enter task manually.
It is very important to check the task prior to take-off. Check the turning points
sequence, distance between points, bearings and total task distance.
check the task and observation zone geometry in the map view.
