If you want to fly a new task without landing, load new task and press RESTART button.
If the finish regulations prescribe entering a cylinder, usually 2 km radius with a
base of 200m, then program the finish zone to the cylinder parameters and set
the safety altitude in INIT to the height of the base of the cylinder. When on the
final glide, MOVE the finish point to the border of the cylinder and all it is then
necessary to do is to fly the glider to keep the final glide deviation on 0m.
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 off the unit OFF immediately
after landing, but to wait a few minutes. First message “Flight will finish in 10 seconds” will
appear and at the end message "Calculating security!".
Flight is finished, when message Calculating security disappears. At that moment the
statistics page will be changed back to logbook view. Now it is safe to switch off instrument.
If SD card or USB stick is inserted at this moment, flight will automatically be copied to it.
Please use regular methods to power down LX8000. See chapter 4.4 for more details.
It is important that LX8000 is switched off using software. Never power down
LX8000 using main power switch. LX8000 is running Linux operating system and
sudden power loss may corrupt file system
