9.2 FAI Task
In this scenario, the pilot intends to fly a triangle FAI task with a
single start sector and automatic waypoint advance.
Prior to takeoff
1. Turn on the device.
2. Open the ‘Basic settings’ dialog and adjust the bugs and
ballast as required. Set the maximum forecast temperature.
Close the dialog.
3. Open the ‘Task edit’ dialog, and delete all waypoints in the
task. Do this by moving the cursor to the waypoint, press en-
ter, then move the cursor to the ‘Delete’ button, press enter;
repeat.
4. Once the task is cleared, move the cursor to the ‘add way-
point’ item and press enter. This will add the home waypoint
to the task as the start waypoint. Change the start waypoint
if required by pressing the ‘select’ button, then choose the
waypoint and pressing enter. Set the start and sector types,
and ensure AAT is OFF. In this example, we set alternate
start points to OFF and Auto Advance mode is set to ‘Auto’.
Once finished, press close.
