Final glide
I do agree about the desire to have a "reserve" for graphical purposes. I believe clear nav can show the landing amobia both with and without reserve.. I wish the Lx would do this as well. I could cheat this in XCSoar with a terrain clearance. So the marginally reachable did not appear to be reachable with a 1000ft terrain clearance. But the best solution is a reserve that is only applied to the map view. This becomes a quick visual filter, only show me landing spots where I have the altitude for a decent approach. For me, the advantage of having an accurate arrival height is better than the inconvenience of checking if a candidate field has the margin I want. You only really get that after you have pick to go there anyway.
