Each one of the existing Routes may be copied into the memory of FAI-Routes. For this
purpose the required Route is to be marked and completed by pressing the McCr;/Mrk key.
Please note that after this entry the start cylinder, radii and start time need to be set
separately, because all cylinder radii are reset to the default value of 400 m.
2.6.6 The
Competition-Route
for record- performance- and competition pilots
In contrast to the routes described above, the FAI-Route has waypoints which are mandatory
to be reached; for example turning points in competition or record flights. The regulation,
which only recently came into effect in documenting distances flown, waives the complicated
and often difficult to interpret photographic documentation with photo sectors; but it rests fully
on the recording of GPS-Receiver position data (Tracklog points).
It is only when flying Competition Routes that the pilot will be warned by an acoustic alarm
when crossing the circumference of a turn point cylinder or when entering / leaving the start
cylinder and the unit switches automatically to the next WP. Call-up of the Competition Route
is effected by prolonged pressing of the ;▼/Route key and confirmation by “OK” key.
For setting and altering of FAI-Routes please read under: 3.5. Competition-Route Set –

Instead of the previous photographic sectors the pilot only needs to reach a predetermined
distance to the turning point. It is also called the entering flight into the cylinder. This distance,
or cylinder circumference may be set in the Setup-Menu/ Routes/ Competition-Route separately
for each waypoint in the range of 20 m up to max. 200 km. Within the
default or factory settings a cylinder circumference of 400 m is preset.
Setting of the differing cylinder radii, of start time, the flight task (= Entering or Exiting the
start cylinder) is effected upon data entry of the Competition-Route.

Because the GPS-Receiver of the FLYTEC 6030 GPS
identifies its new position every second, it takes only
this one second to inform the pilot about his crossing
of the turning point cylinder circumference or that it is
time to leave the start cylinder. In this case a long,
unmistakable tone sounds during 2 seconds and the
instrument switches automatically to the next WP of
the Route. Independent of what recording interval
for storage is used during a standard flight, it is
anyway guaranteed that several track log points when
crossing the cylinder circumference are saved at one
second intervals in the memory of the FLYTEC 6030
GPS.
Usually the start cylinder is in first position of the
Competition-Route. (However this is not mandatory).
If during setting or changing the Competition-Route
after marking a waypoint the key McC ; /WP is
pressed, the letter “S” for Start-Cylinder appears behind the WP name. The “S” disappears
if the same key is pressed again.
Only if a WP is marked with “S” it is necessary to set also a Start time and as task:
ENTER or EXIT and the number of Startgates, as well as their chronological interval.
The example illustration on the right shows the possible start time to be set for 12:30,
12:45 and 13:00 h. If no WP is designated as Start-Cylinder, the pilots are not bound to
