Hi everyone.
I have been thinking very often that in case of serious PAN or MAYDAY (ie Engine trouble or shutdown) it would be incredibly useful that the program would show the most suitable airports/aerodromes to land based on instant calculus of Glide range, wind, meteo, etc.
So by incorporating a PANIC BUTTON in the software a pilot would have at a glance the best suitable options based on all the parameters involved so he/she can take sound choices based on true quick analysis. I think it would be an invaluable feature in SD

Is there a possibility to have this feature incorporated in the future?

We've thought about this potential "panic button" a number of times over the years, but we are not convinced that in the event of an emergency, the pilot will really want to reach for a button in SkyDemon and pin their hopes on what it tells them. Could you list all the information you'd like to see in this potential screen?
