I'm stuck back in 1986 (87, actually).Â* I set my CNII to arrive at
1,000' AGL over mid field and it never works out for me.Â* I get lower
and lower and, as I get nervous, I arrive well above where I want to be.

I can set the XCSoar unit to Automatic McCready and it directs scary
fast speeds with MC 9.0 or more.

So, Evan, precisely how do you read your expected arrival height after
setting your safety factor to zero?Â* I'd like to give it a try.

It was dumb in 1986 too :-).

No one arrival height covers all situations.

Of course not but it is still personal a personal preference, no need to be opiniated, there is always more than one way to skin a cat.
Try it the other way, you'll see.

Happy landings,
