The lower number indicates at what altitude you will reach start altitude. A negative value
indicates you are going to be there below the required start altitude.
The arrival altitude to start is not based on MacCready, the glider nor the wind
settings. It is calculated based on energy difference during flying straight. This
gives a very precise estimate at what altitude you will arrive at the start.
Speeding up will result in greater energy loss and the arrival altitude will decrease;
slowing down to best glider ratio will decrease energy loss and the arrival altitude
will increase.
The upper yellow number shows the current ground speed and the chevrons indicate if you
have to slow down or you may speed up.
In the picture above we are 118 meters above the glide to start altitude. Our speed is
111 km/h and the chevrons show that we can speed up.
Start speed and start altitude mode is available only if the Navigate to nearest
point is checked.
