Improve elevation profile for approach #601

Closed albar965 closed 2 years ago

albar965 commented 3 years ago

[x] Add scale and/or horizontal distances for legs
[x] Horizontal course as in flight plan on map
[x] Altitude lables along line (or waypoints)
[x] Approach slope in degree independent of ILS and PAPI on final leg
[x] FPA for all decent legs?

Add options to enable or disable above.

Now: grafik

Example: grafik

Thank's Alex for your answer (on personal email).

ILS, RNAV or GPS approach requires representation of horizontal course leading to final slope interception (FF). Then, the angle of the final (3°, 3.5, 4 ...), heights and distances at intermediate points (such as markers) between FF and runway. Even on ILS approach, we need a way to be sure being of the slope. This is especially true in IMC...

@stephr64 Will consider this and updated the original issue text.

Would love to have a vertical profile like those we see on Jeppesen charts. Or similar to that, where we can easily interpret and understand our approach.

albar965 commented 2 years ago

Distance and course are no problem. Vertical angle is already implemented. MDA is not available in data and therefore not doable. Maybe also add altitude restriction as text. Have to see.
