When flying for a badge or record, one will be flying a closed course that involves a 1km long start/finish line. To complete the task, one must cross the finish line no lower than 1,000m below the start altitude.

As the pilot crosses the start line, the computer should calculate a finish altitude based on the actual start altitude.

The computer should also represent the start finish line as *precisely* 1km so the pilot is able to navigate to an end if there is an urgent need to turn immediately after crossing the line.

Since it's advantageous to approach the start line at maximum speed, then pull up immediately after crossing, an audio alert will help keep the pilot's head out of the cockpit. We already have FLARM and airspace voice alerts, so how about "Two seconds...Start"?

ClearNav only provides a start time, not altitude.

How about other computers?

I just posted my comments on ClearNav forum.
For last 15 years I'm hooked with WinPilot.
Works close to perfect, depends on hardware and user.
Jerry Plaszowiecki is very supportive when not on vacation.
I fly only according FAI rules.
In December I bought CN II and I'm returning, just for the reason
given by Tom and great ignorance from ClearNav team.
WP gives you everything what you need.
Thanks I did not sell CAI302 and PNA.
