7.1.5 Preparing a Task
While it is advisable to prepare the task properly before taking off and thus avoid mistakes
made in a haste, all the following actions, preparing, editing, loading and saving, can be
done while in the air. But then, the task cannot be declared in the air.
Compared to the LX7007 there is no option to declare a task. There is only one
task. This task will be automatically declared in the IGC file on take-off. The task
can also be modified during flight but any changes will not be written to the IGC
file.
There are currently three methods to create a task. Further methods will be available in
future releases.
• Read way point and task file from SD card and load a saved task.
• Load a similar task and modify it.
• Enter task manually.
It is very important to check the task prior to take-off. Check the turning points
sequence, distance between points, bearings and total task distance. Visually
check the task and observation zone geometry in the map view.
7.1.5.1 Assigned Area Tasks (AAT)
In fact an assigned area task is a speed task where the task distance is not exactly defined.
The pilot has limited influence on the task geometry due to larger observation zones
(assigned areas). The pilot decides how far he will fly into each individual area to reach best
average task speed and not finishing the task earlier than the designated task time.
An assigned area task has the same structure as other tasks and all known methods to enter
are the same as described. The only differences are larger observation zones having a
specific geometry. Use the ZONE button (see Chapter 5.7.3) to modify the individual
observation zone.
