LX5000 March 2002
Please note: these settings are so called local settings. That means: If one enters again the menu SETUP /
OBS.ZONE (under password, which are the “global” sectors for all tasks) after having set individual task sectors,
all the local (individual) settings will be deleted and set back to the global values!
At the turnpoint sector setting one will find an additional setup item: AUTO NEXT. While flying “normal” tasks, the
LX5000 will switch over to next turn point at once when a sector is reached. In an Area Task this is not very useful,
because one might fly very far into the sector and will therefore still need navigation data for the sector´s reference point
or a modified virtual point (MOVE-function, see below).
Set the AUTO NEXT to N (no), and the LX5000 will not switch to the next turn point when reaching the sector. The
Pilot must switch over “by hand” using the START-button. In the example below an individual sector with 50 0 has been
set at the first turnpoint. The automatic switch over is still active
This procedure should now ben repeated for all turnpoints of the task (max. 8)
At the end the finish line has to be programmed
Editing a task and the corresponding sectors, can also be done during flight, but declaration is then possible. How
to fly the task see paragraph Fly LX5000.
MOVE
In an AAT-Task the sectors are generally quite large, therefore it is reasonable to have the possibility of modifying the
task during flight. All AAT-tasks (max. 5, see above) offer this possibility, by graphically moving the turnpoint in the
sector (virtual turnpoint).
New turnpoint: #Roth
sector reference (turn)point
Having used the MOVE-function, the sector reference point has a # as first character. The sector and the reference point
stay unchanged, but all navigation data is modified based on the new (virtual) point. E.g. the final glide is now
calculated around that point, this applies accordingly for the statistics.
The point is moved using the rotary knobs UP/DOWN and ZOOM. As long as the moved point is inside the sector
during the move procedure the message „INSIDE“ is displayed.
The modified arrival page has the following values:
Change over after INSIDE
new task distance
remaining flight time (task)
needed avareged speed (task)
related to the remaining time
