MSL
Altitude
Glide
Ring
The
MSL
Altitude
Glide
Ring
can
be
displayed
on
the
map
to
show
how
far
you
can
glide
descending
down
to
the
user
selected
MSL
Altitude.
This
option
is
a
neat
idea,
but
we
aren’t
sure
yet
how
useful
it
will
be.
If
you
don’t
use
it
we
recommend
turning
it
off
to
limit
the
amount
of
information
on
the
map.
In
still
air
you
can
glide
from
your
current
location
all
the
way
to
the
MSL
Altitude
Glide
Ring
.
You
will
arrive
at
the
ring
at
the
user
selected
MSL
Altitude.
The
ring
will
only
display
when
the
glider
is
at
an
altitude
that
is
higher
than
the
user
selected
MSL
Altitude
entered
for
the
MSL
Altitude
Glide
Ring.
As
you
increase
the
number
entered
in
the
MSL
Altitude
the
ring
will
get
closer
to
the
glider
because
the
difference
in
altitude
will
get
smaller.
The
MSL
Altitude
Glide
Ring
may
be
useful
is
when
trying
to
overfly
an
airspace
region.
For
example,
if
there
is
airspace
nearby
that
has
a
ceiling
of
3000
feet
MSL,
you
could
set
the
MSL
Altitude
Glide
Ring
to
3000
feet
(or
3200
feet
to
be
conservative).
If
the
airspace
you
want
to
fly
over
is
completely
inside
the
MSL
Altitude
Glide
Ring
then
you
know
that
you
can
glide
over
it.
If
the
airspace
region
extends
beyond
the
MSL
Altitude
Glide
Ring
then
you
know
that
you
can’t
make
it
all
the
way
across
the
airspace
region
without
descending
down
into
it.
