routes as well. Once a waypoint has been used along a route, it can not be deleted from
list.

2.9 The Competition Route -
For Record Flights, Perform
In contrast to the routes described above, the Comp. Route has waypoints which are man-
datory and have to be reached; for example turning points in competition or on Comp.
performance flights. The regulation, which only recently came into effect in documenting
distances flown, replaces the detailed and often difficult to interpret photographic
documentation with photo sectors; it is now totally dependent on the recording of GPS
receiver position data (Tracklog points).
When flying Comp.-routes the pilot will be
circumference of a turnpoint cylinder or when entering /
leaving the start cylinder and the unit switches automatically
to the next WP. The Competition route can be called up by
prolonged pressing of the
by pressing Enter. (Please refer to 3.5 to set and change
routes.) Here any of the WPs can be defined to be the Start
WP.
In place of the previous photo sectors, the pilot must enter
the radius of the cylinder. This cylinder radius can be set
separately for every WP , between 20m and 200km,. The
customary factory setting is a radius of 400m. Please note
that different radii for start/landing cylinders can be changed
setting up the FAI-Route.
In the same field he/she ch
and if the race begins by exiting or entering the Start-
cylinder.
Because F lytec 5030 GPS's GPS receiver confirms its new
position every second, it only takes one second for the pilot
to know that he/she is crossing the cylinder circumference.
