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 set AAT to ON, and set the assigned minimum task
time. In this example, we assume there are not alternate
start points and Auto Advance mode is set to ‘Arm’. Once
finished, press close.
5. Move the cursor to the ‘add waypoint’ item again and press
enter. This will add the second waypoint to the task (in this
case, as the finish waypoint since it is the last in the list).
Press the ‘select’ button to select the second waypoint, then
press close.
6. Move the cursor to the ‘add waypoint’ item again and press
enter. This will add the third waypoint to the task (in this
case, as the finish waypoint since it is the last in the list).
Press the ‘select’ button to select the third waypoint, then
press close.
7. Move the cursor to the ‘add waypoint’ item again and press
enter. This will add the fourth waypoint to the task, again
as the finish waypoint since it is the last in the list. Press
the ‘select’ button to select the finish waypoint. Now set the
finish sector type and press close.
8. Now the AAT sector parameters need to be entered for the
second and third waypoints in the list. For each, select the
waypoint in the list and press enter. Then set the AAT sector
parameters and press close.
9. The AAT task is now entered. Open the analysis dialog and
select the ‘Task’ page to prereview the task on a map.
10. The estimated elapsed time to complete the task with differ-
ent MacCready settings can be explored from the ‘task calc’
dialog. Adjusting the ’range’ setting shifts the targets within
the AAT sectors to increase or decrease the task distance.
In-flight
1. When the pilot is ready to start the task, press the ‘Arm Ad-
vance’ button. The current waypoint will then advance au-
tomatically once, as the pilot flies through the start sector.
After this occurs, the advance trigger is disarmed.
