XCSoar User Manual
If the task waypoint that was active, prior to aborting the task, is
landable and estimated to be reachable, then it remains the active
waypoint in abort mode. Otherwise, the most reachable landable
waypoint is selected as the active waypoint, even if there are no
reachable waypoints.
The active waypoint, and in fact the list of nearby landable points
in the task, is changed dynamically when in abort mode, so that
at any time the pilot is presented with several landing options and
any of these may be selected as the active waypoint.
If conditions improve, the task can be resumed (by selecting the
same menu button that aborted the task). The active waypoint,
prior to aborting the task, is then restored along with all the other
task details.
When the task is aborted, the flight mode changes to final glide
mode.

A flight logger conforming to the IGC file specification can be
used to record flights.
Several flight loggers are accessible via XCSoar:
• A software-based logger. All versions of XCSoar have this
functionality. The logger conforms to the IGC standard but
is not certified.
