During a flight the pilot can see on the Info-field display via count-down how many seconds /
minutes are left before opening of the Start line. At the same time he can read in the
display „Dist to WP" and "Dist.Cyl" if he is inside or outside of the start cylinder.
If the pilot has flown out of the WP-Cylinder and the instrument has shifted to the next
waypoint, it is possible by pressing the ▼ arrow key to switch back at discretion to the
previous waypoint, and by pressing the ▲ arrow key to shift again to the next waypoint.
This is useful when a pilot, after having left the start cylinder, has decided to fly back and
to restart at a later time.
Also during the flight in Competition-Route, it is possible by using the Goto-key (prolonged
pressing) to call-up additional waypoints (thermal sources), sorted according to their
distance from the pilot. The waypoints being part of the Competition-Route are marked with
an asterisk in the displayed list; this means it is mandatory that they need to be approached.
Even in case a waypoint not belonging to the Route has been called-up, the alarm remains
enabled when entering the cylinder of the waypoint belonging to the Route. With the
it is possible to toggle back and forth between the waypoint of the Competition-Route and the
other waypoint.
After completing a flight task, the waypoints belonging to the Competition-Route will be listed
in the data transfer to a PC under the header of the IGC file. A n appropriate PC program can
check therefore if the assigned task was completed correctly.
When setting up a Competition-Route without a start cylinder, i.e. without a start time, the
automatic switch over to the next waypoint is effected, as soon as the pilot is present inside
the 1. cylinder radius. So it makes no sense to choose the "Take off" place as the 1
waypoint, because immediately after receiving satellites the instrument switches over to the
next waypoint.
2.6.6.2 Competition-Route Set – Alter – Delete
Even so a called-up Competition Route is treated differently than
a usual Route during flight and also for data transfer after the
flight's completion, there is no difference when setting or
changing it. The route can be set up with the help of the keypad
of the instrument or can be transferred from the PC. This
feature is particularly useful for Competitions when in a short
time the flight tasks on the basis of turning points have to be
distributed error free to many pilots. The waypoints of the
Competition-Route can be altered, however the designation
„COMPETITION Route" can not be deleted. If the Competition-
Route does not contain any waypoints, it cannot be selected.
Each one of the other existing Routes can be copied to replace
the Competition Route. (In Main Setup Menu

with different radii (e.g. the arrival cylinder and the landing place)
2.6.6.3 Distance to Waypoint cylinder
In order to ease the decision if having to peel off, the user field "Dist.Cyl" displays the
distance to the radius of the actual waypoint cylinder. This is particularly helpful for start
cylinders, as one has not always memorised at which size the start cylinder was entered.
