4.9 Task status dialog
The task status dialog gives a summary of important task informa-
tion. It can be useful to give a good overview of the task status
while freeing up InfoBoxes for other purposes.
This is accessed via the menu:
INFO . Status task
The task status dialog shows the text “INVALID” in the task start
time if no valid start was detected. The task start time is shown
normally if a valid start was detected.
4.10 Assigned Area Tasks
A target is a point within an AAT area that the pilot intends to fly
to. These targets can be moved within the AAT areas so the pilot
can adjust the effective distance of the task. Targets may be set on
the ground, during task planning, and modified during flight.
In order to make the specification of targets more straightforward,
their location is defined by a range parameter that determines how
far from the minimum to maximum possible distance the target
is. This is expressed as a percentage. For example, with range set
to 100%, the target is located to give the maximum overall task
distance. With range set to -100%, the target is located to give the
minimum overall task distance.
