each waypoint separately within the range of 20 m up to
max. 200 km. In Default- or factory settings a cylinder
circumference of 400 m is pre-set.
Setting of the differing cylinder radii, of start time, the flight
task (=Entering or Exiting the start cylinder) is effected
upon data entry of the Competition-Route.
Beside the automatic shift to the next WP, the pilot can
also shift manually by use of arrow keys ▲ or ▼ to the
next or to the previous WP.
2.6.6.1 Flying Competition-Routes
Because the GPS-Receiver of the 6020-GPS identifies its new position every second,
it takes only this one second to inform the pilot about his crossing of the turning point
cylinder circumference or that the time has come to leave the start cylinder.
In this case a long, unmistakable tone sounds during 2 seconds (CMP-Sound) and the
instrument switches automatically to the next waypoint of the Route. Independent of what
recording interval for storage is used during a standard flight, it is anyway guaranteed that
several Tracklog points are saved in the memory of the 6020-GPS at one second intervals
when crossing the cylinder circumference.
Usually the start cylinder is in first position of the Competition-Route. (However this is not
mandatory). If during setting or changing the Competition-Route after marking a waypoint
the key
McC
is pressed, the letter “S” for Start-Cylinder appears behind the WAYPOINT
name. The “S” disappears if the same key is pressed again. Only if a waypoint is marked
with “S”, it is necessary to set also a Start time and as task ENTER or EXIT.
If no WAYPOINT has been designated as Start-Cylinder, the pilots are not bound
to observe a start time and the automatic shifting to the next WAYPOINT is effected,
as soon as the pilot is present inside the cylinder.
If however in a competition a start cylinder is predetermined, the valuation starts as soon as
the start time is reached under these conditions:
Startmode EXIT: if the pilot leaves the cylinder from inside to outside.
Startmode ENTER: if the pilot crosses the Start cylinder from outside to inside.
It is possible to choose several start gates.
