10.5.1 STARTING TIME (TSTART)
TSTART : Shows start time since gate is been opened
10.5.2 REMAINING TIME TO START (CSTART)
CSTART (CS) : shows time missing (countdown) to start opening
10.5.3 EXPECTED ARRIVAL TIME TO START LINE (ESTART)
ESTART (ES) : Shows estimated arrival time to the border of start pylon based on average
speed relatively to coutdown. If the instrument indicates “00:10", written in black on white
background, means that the pilot will get to start line with a delay of 10 seconds, if its written“ 00:15 " in
reverse mode (white on black background) means that the pilot will get to start line 15 seconds ahead time
(penalty).
10.5.4 REQUIRED SPEED NEEDED TO START LINE (STS)
STS (SS) : shows required speed to get to start line on opening gate time.
10.5.5 START PILON INSTRUMENTS AUTOMATIC SWITCH (PLOTTER PAGE)
In the plotter page when current waypoint is the start pylon, the instrument automatically replaces waypoint
name, graphical HSI (or graphical altimeter) with a set of instruments to manage it:
- the “name waypoint” value if viewed in current layout is automatically replaced with ESTART (ES) that shows
estimated arrival time to the border of start pylon .
- Graphical HSI or graphical altimeter if viewed in current layout is automatically replaced with a group of three
instruments : CSTART (CS) time missing (countdown) to start opening, STS (SS) required speed necessary to get
to start line on opening time, and direction icon "follow me"
