Description (last modified by Turbo) (diff)
it would be a very nice thing to have a "emergency-goto-function" which sorts
landable fields by altitude required to reach, taking wind into account (like
nearest airport-funcion in lx-navigation-devices for example).
if a button could be assigned to this function it would add some extra safty
since it would be easier to find the nearest available landable-area/airfield in
case you get low than having to hop through the waypoint-menu and having to
search for landable areas/airfields in the waypoint list.
ge-glide and gps_log do have such an option.

hi....
the task-abort function is not really what i had in mind when opening the case.
what i thought of is a list of the nearest landable waypoints, sorted by
expected arrival-hight.
this is just the same as using waypoint lookup and define landable-fields and
a given range...maybe a shortcut to this waypoint-filter-settings would help.
lx-navigation uses such a filter to display nearest airports at a button-click.

We have this option already, it is the "Task Abort" function.
Please refer to the manual for how to use this.
