Hi!

I'm still working on my PPL, and as part of flight preparation, I always draw a line on the chart where to start the descent (from circuit-altitude, at a 5deg descent, my TOD is just before flying over that road). This may be especially important in Switzerland, because the standard circuit is absent here.

Since skydemon can draw the circuits now, are there any plans to also let it compute the TOD along the circuit? Or maybe it's already possible and I missed it?

Thanks!

I think this could be a cool feature, when linked with the “make approach” button which will already show you lots of helpful information when you select which runway, the circuit direction and joining type.

I know we’re not flying airliners, but anything to help with situational awareness and increase the changes of a stable approach is a good thing in my eyes!
