Please read the feature request. Some people want geometric L/D for good reason
(e.g. very altitude dependent wind) I for myself would prefer L/D relative to
airmass. Wich one is our "curent L/D" btw?
So i would propose making this an option. E.g. a combo box with a few useful
choices, like:
- Arrival altitude
- altitude + L/D
- altitude + L/D air
- L/D
- L/D air

L/D relative to airmass is more useful, I really can't see how knowing
geometric gradient helps.
