Having used MOVE-function, the “new” point has a '#' as the first character (very significant). The sector and the
reference point stay unchanged, but all navigation data is modified corresponding to the new (virtual) point. For
example, the final glide is now calculated around the new point, and the statistics are modified in the same way.
The point is moved using the rotary knobs UP/DOWN (vertical) and ZOOM (horizontal). It is not possible to MOVE
outside the sector. Unless a specified task time (task edit) has been entered, the required speed and remaining time to
complete the task will not be displayed.
The extended arrival page offers the following information:
The remaining distance is the distance from actual position to the finish line. (If the task has not yet been started, then
this distance includes the distance from the present position to reach the start)
The remaining time is the time left to finish the task,
simple count down after task start (active only after input TIME
in TSK edit).
The required average speed is calculated from remaining distance and the remaining time.
The required average speed is calculated from remaining distance and the remaining time.
Note!:
ETA and ETE are calculated using the parameters defined in INIT under ETA. This is important for competition pilots.
By pressing ESC, the ETA and ETE calculated up to actual TP are displayed for 3 seconds
2.2.5.3 TSK - NEW
Pressing ENTER with the cursor on NEW will select a sub menu asking whether an existing task should be copied. If
N is selected, then the next available task with all points un-programmed will be selected. Sometimes it is easier to copy
an existing task and then amend it; pressing 'Y' allows this to be done.

2.2.5.4 TSK - DECLARE

procedure replaces the requirement to make a written or photographic declaration.
Pressing ENTER with the cursor on DECLARE will display the following sub menu:

Note!:
The declaration will not change the instrument functions. The declaration is only the procedure to show that the flight
was planned and declared before take off. All manipulation and functions of the LX 7007 PRO IGC will be the same
whether the task is declared or not. The only difference is in flight validation is that the declaration is recorded in the
.IGC file. Redeclaration during the flight is not possible. Editing the task during the flight, or fly another task will
not change the declaration.
