Two ideas in one...

1. Would it be possible to move all of the "low level" NOTAMs to the end of the brief so that, for example, all the balloons, cranes and UAS flights below 400ft are easier to skip over without missing a significant NOTAM in their midst?

2. When flying at (say) 2000ft, could alerts like "may ahead, climb above 1,200'" be disabled because I'm already significantly (500ft+) above the obstruction so I don't need to climb?

BTW love the new engine start/stop and on/off blocks buttons, although the presentation of the data in the post flight log is a little confusing.

Keep up the good work,

Regarding the obstacle warning, SkyDemon shouldn't be warning about an obstacle you're already well above UNLESS you're in a descent taking you right towards it. Was that the case?

I've noticed it several times whilst in basically straight-and-level flight, but obviously when hand-flown, there may be momentary descents followed by momentary ascents (or vice versa). Looking at the extended track in the vertical profile display, it can sometimes appear to be quite "twitchy", which could account for the alerts I guess. Even if so, the message "climb above Xft" is confusing - it would be clearer as "remain above Xft".
