Just double checking my understanding of the see you mobile, (Oudie) reserve altitude correction.

If I set my reserve at 1000' and my target field is at 700' and my "Arrival Altitude" says 2700' ... does that mean I will arrive at 3700' essentially 2000 above the ground?

If you set your Alt Res [ft] at 1000'. The Arrival will say 0' when you have final glide to the target selected. You will arrive at 1000' above the target point selected assuming nothing changes on the glide.

If arrival says 1000' you will arrive 2000' above the target point. The Alt Res + 1000'.

With all due respect,just maybe my ignorance, the Oudie 2 manual says quote; "All final glide calculations are subject to correction of the altitude reserve. If this value is greater than 0,
then your arrival altitude to the waypoint will be this much above the altitude of the waypoint elevation
from the waypoint database (this may not be its actual altitude, so use at own risk, needless to say)."
So.... soI'm confused ?


Then you should check every waypoint in the data base you use. It is contingent on the pilot to use a correct waypoint database. In my experience airports altitudes on the worldwide turnpoint exchange in the USA are correct.

If arrival is 0 and your Alt Res is 1000 then you will arrive 1000 above your target if the altitude of the target is correct.

I was relating how the program works not if the database you use is correct.
