9 QUICKSTART
• At all times the black track arrow will point at the next target. The target is the location within
the AAT sector at the range specified in Task calculator . The blue arrow will point at the
direction the glider should track when in cruise.
• When the pilot is within or approaching an AAT sector and is ready to advance to the next
waypoint, press Arm Advance . The current waypoint will then advance automatically
once, if the pilot is inside the observation zone. After this occurs, the advance trigger is
disarmed.
• If Auto Zoom is activated, the map will automatically zoom in as task waypoints are ap-
proached.
• At the appropriate times, set the MacCready automatically, manually in Setup MacCready
, or from the variometer.
• Change the bugs/ballast settings as required.
• Refer to Analysis as required.
• Refer to Status as required. This shows the start time, elapsed time on task, estimated
arrival time, average task speed etc.
• Optionally set MacCready to ‘AUTO’. If the MacCready mode was set to ‘Final Glide’ or
‘Both’, then the system will command the optimal speed to return home; and the MacCready
value will be set to the minimum climb rate at which it is beneficial to continue to climb.
