        Airspace page<\/h2>\n

        Special page with all relevant information next to an airspace. The screen also includes a cross section view which is very helpful for a better understanding of the airspace structure.<\/p>\n

          Final Glide<\/h2>\n

          Usually I don\u00b4t use this page. For some pilots it might be useful to compare the current glide ratio with the required glide ratio.<\/p>\n

            Start line crossing<\/h2>\n

            Very important for the start of a task in competitions. Especially for SGP tasks you need to manage your speed, time and height at the same time.<\/p>\n
