1.8.8 Alt ab.Goal
This Userfield shows the calculated altitude above goal ( = the last WP of a route) with
taking in account all the remaining sectors of a route in front of the pilot. For all sectors the
belonging wind component is taken into account. Particularly useful is this function when a
competition pilot gets the information when to leave a good thermal even he has to pass by
further waypoints. This calculation is based on the speed of best glide.
1.8.9 Distance to cylinder of a waypoint in a competition route
This user defined field shows the distance from the actual position to the radius of the actual
waypoint in a route or chosen. This is true from the inside in case of a start cylinder with
EXIT or from the outside in case of a waypoint in a route. This helps to decide how far the
next turnpoint is.
1.8.10 Userfield L/D req to goal
This Userfield shows the necessary lift/drag ratio above ground to the goal over several
Waypoint. This Userfield is indicated only if a route is active. Thus it can be decided whether
one can fly directly over several waypoints to the goal, or whether one must gain height
before heading to goal. The calculation does not take into account, if there is a waypoint
higher than the direct line of the current height into the goal. The distance is calculated as in
