Final glide
Here's a suggestion. Flying final glides is the most comfortable when you use the Required L/D and
Current L/D
navboxes
. What they do is they show the required L/D to the finish line and current L/D
82
you are doing at the moment. You are on glide slope when Current L/D is higher than Required L/D. The
calculation already includes reserve altitude. The nice part is that it is insensible of the MC setting, glider
polar, wind calculation etc. All of them can be wrong when you try to math through the glider polar.
Current L/D however is pragmatic - it tells you what you are doing. Required L/D is pragmatic as well. It
tells you what you should be doing. If Current L/D is higher than the Required one you are doing good. If
it looks like you can keep going like that, you are doing great.
Have fun making those final glides!
Go fly the task and enjoy!!!
SAVING TASK FOR LATER USE
It is always wise to make sure you have all the data securely stored in case of an unintended outage of
the device. Start from the main screen and select Menu > Next > Save Settings > tick the "Save profile"
and "Save waypoints and tasks" checkboxes (if they are both enabled), then tap "Yes".
