Example 5:
We want to adjust the currently valid sector 90
0
photo-sector for the German de-centralised gliding
competition rules(DMSt). This is the 90
°
-photo sector combined with a 500m-cylinder:
Note:
1.
The combined photo sectors have to be programmed with the smaller radius for A2 and R2
(R1>R2!!). It’s therefore impossible to program the example above in the reverse order.
2.
For record flights, FAI badges, 1000/2000km-diploma and for the Barron-Hilton-Cup only the 90
°
-
photo sector is valid, not the 500m-cylinder!!
FINISH ZONE
The finish zone is simpler and has fewer variables
.
Select the item FINISH ZONE from the OBS.ZONE
menu confirm with ‘ENTER’. You get principally the same screen as for the previous items. But there are
only two options for HDG here:
•
FINISH Hdg=LAST axis of symmetry 90° to the last leg
•
FINISH Hdg=FIX fix value defined by the pilot andset to any direction (see example below).
A suggested setting for the finish would be:
Hdg LAST, A1 45°, R1 500m
Example 6:
In a competition the finish line has to be orientated rectangular to the runway’s direction, independent
from the bearing to the last turnpoint. The airfield’s runway has the direction 06/24.
We select HDG: “FIXED VALUE” and can enter either 060
°
or 240
°
for A21, depending on the direction
of the final glide. E.g. for a final glide in the direction 270
°
we have to enter A21: 060
°
. Now the “flat side”
of the sector is directed back to the last leg (see picture), the glider will enter the sector crossing the line.
Note: please be aware that all the examples above are intended to explain the programming procedures
and therefore cannot claim absolute accuracy and completeness. For every kind of competition there are
different types of sectors and rules for the correct documentation of these sectors. In case of doubt, the
