A label consists of two selectable values: upper label and lower label. If you prefer to have
labels in single line, the
single label
checkbox should be checked. A label can also be
coloured. Check the
Colorize label
item. Coloured labels are drawn with a green
background when the waypoint is within range with the current MacCready settings and
with a yellow background when waypoint is within reach with MacCready setting zero. No
background is shown if the waypoint is not reachable.
The label is selected from following options:
Name
: waypoint name is shown. The name length item controls how the name is
displayed.
Code:
will display the ICAO code or short name.
Elevation:
shows waypoint elevation.
Arrival altitude
shows arrival altitude taking into account current MacCready setting,
safety altitude and current wind. Due to complexity of the calculation it will not take the
wind profile into account.
Required altitude
shows how much height is needed to reach the point. Required
altitude takes into account current MacCready setting, safety altitude and current wind.
Due to complexity of the calculation it will not take the wind profile into account.
Required Mc
gives an estimate of the maximum MacCready value which we can use to
reach the point.
Required L/D
shows the required glide ratio to the point taking into account the safety
altitude.
Team code:
shows the team code for that waypoint.
Frequency
will display the point frequency, if available.
Define
minimum runway length
and
minimum runway width
to filter our too short
and too narrow runways. Such landing places will be shown in nearest list anyway, but they
will be marked with red cross to indicate, they are not usable.
Press the
DEFAULT
button to reset these settings back to default.
