4.6 Task navigation page

This page should be used for navigation when flying tasks.
There are two ways of entering a task. Either by selecting a. CUP file, which contains a task inside, or by
creating it by hand.
For more information on how to import TPs please refer to section Setup/SD Card/Load TP. Navigated task
TP is displayed as observation zone and a white line from zone to the glider shows the direction in which the
pilot should fly. A white line from centre of observation zone will show next leg of task. Navigation is always
"track up".
On the top of this page pilot can find the name of navigated TSK turnpoint. On
the bottom part of the page, navboxes show final glide (FG), bearing (BRG),
track (TRK) and distance (DIST) to the navigated point.
Under the TSK name, steering symbol information will inform the pilot how
many degrees (°) he needs to correct his track by in order to fly directly to the
selected turnpoint.
In the left part of the screen, standard wind information is displayed.
The Arrow shows the wind direction relative to the glider, its direction relative
to North, with the wind speed being shown below.
Pressing enter, "TSK SETUP" will be activated allowing a task to be created or
edited. Additional TP's can be added, removed, zones changed etc.
Additional options are offered to the pilot only in standalone configuration or
in backup mode. In LX Zeus configuration, TSK TP options can be set on LX
Zeus, and LX Era will receive task information from the Zeus.
