Using a "GLIDE footprint"
I would also want a user-definable reserve height of maybe 500ft when I
got there.=20 especially as this is different from a final glide to a known landing spot =20 ie consider wind, polar, mcready, balast, bugs and reserve height. =20 For those in the mountains, a computation that can cope with corners round ridges would be nice, but that is probably step 2. =20 ps: I would not plan to use my own "iron thermal" unless over landable terrain =20 =20 Rory =20 Subject: Using a "GLIDE footprint" Author: Andy mailto:Andy Date/Time: 14:40 12 March 2007 ________________________________ On Mar 12, 5:08 am, "Bill Daniels" wrote: It simply looks in 48 directions around the compass and computes the maximum glide in each direction considering wind, polar, McCready, balast and bugs.
