I am interested by the point about the reserve being added to your
finish height where your finish height is different from your arrival
height at an airfield. How does this work? I don't have 'Finish is
1,000m below start set' as it doesn't normally affect me - if I start
above 1,000 m on a flight for which the scoring will be affected that is
another adjustment which I make mentally. In the UK the rule does not
affect competition scoring but does affect our BGA Ladder. I have never
flown with a finish other than at an airfield - is there a way to set
the minimum height at a finish ring?

I use LK8000 as my main navigation tool. It displays arrival heights as a
signed value, which is difference from your configured arrival height. So
with 1000 configured as your target arrival height, if it displays +200
its predicting you'll arrive 200 ft above target and if it shows -400 its
predicting arrival 400 ft below target.

That works for me.
