..some people will want to _change_ e.g. approach routing, 
into say a gliding spiral at night in the summer so people
can sleep with their windows open, or some such political 
scenario.  That means overriding whatever defaults FG got
from Robin's airport feature listing, and probably close 
to run-time ideas like "How much noise do we make at 5.5
and 6 degree glides if we go 500 feet left and then weave 
back right the last mile?".  We have all bits in place?

  Scenarios always come in sets of three: 
  best case, worst case, and just in case.
