5.7.7 Moving a Task Point

If at least one observation zone is defined as an assigned area, it is possible to move a point
within this area. Moving a point will increase or decrease the total task length. Select the
MOVE action within task mode. A dialogue with the current assigned area will be shown.
In the upper-right corner the remaining task distance, required task speed, remaining task
time, delta time and estimated time of arrival are shown.
Delta time is the difference between the remaining time and time of arrival.
If it is
negative you will arrive back home too soon and if it is positive you will arrive too late.
Keep in mind that the time of arrival can be calculated using different methods which are
found in the QNH and RES setup (see Chapter 5.1.1).
A point is moved using the lower two knobs.
Press the DIS/BRG or LON/LAT button to toggle between the two methods of moving the
point.
When the DIS/BRG button is shown the point is moved in the x, y directions. Use the
lower-right knob to move the point in the north/south direction or rotate the lower-left knob
to move point in east/west direction.
If the LON/LAT button is shown the point is moved in the radial and azimuth directions.
Rotate the lower-right knob (page selector) to move the point in the radial direction from the
area centre.
Use the lower-left knob (zoom) to move the point in the axial direction.
If more than one assigned area is set for a task the NEXT>> button is shown in the lower
line. Press this button if you wish to move the point into another assigned area.
