Task Finish
On entering the finish zone the task stops automatically and a message will be displayed.
If you want to fly a new task without landing, load the new task and press the
RESTART
button.
The
Navigate to nearest point
option is very useful and actually a must if a
finish cylinder is used with significantly large radius. Enabling this option will
calculate the final glide to the edge of the cylinder rather than to the centre of
the cylinder.
7.3
Procedure After Landing
IGC Regulations require a straight line (base line) in the barogram at the beginning and end
of the flight. For this reason that it is essential
not to switch the unit OFF
immediately
after landing, but to wait a few minutes. First the message
“Flight will finish in 10 seconds”
will appear and then the message
“Calculating security!”
.
The flight is finished when the message Calculating security disappears. At that moment the
statistics page will be changed back to logbook view. Now it is safe to switch off the
instrument.
If a SD card or USB stick is currently inserted into the LX9000 the flight will automatically be
copied to it.
