altitude is also taken into account for nal glide calculation, which means the nal
glide will be calculated higher than needed, as an additional layer of reserve.
The nish point has an additional option of setting the 'Finish altitude'. When set, this alti-
tude will be used for calculating the nal glide altitude (effectively raising or lowering the point).
When setting the 'Finish altitude', keep in mind the reserve altitude is added to this
value, when calculating nal glide, meaning, if the reserve altitude is set to

perform a pull-up and slow down immediately before the nish line, thus
converting part of your kinetic energy into potential, or part of your speed into
altitude. If you do not pull up, you will go below the calculated nal glide. This
feature optimizes your Final Glide calculation, as it uses your energy as well, rather
than just your Final Glide information, thus giving you greater speed.
Please note, that performing strong pull-ups near the Finish line is prohibited on
some competitions and might be considered dangerous, so perform the pull-ups
