Hi guys,

I just returned from a rather scary flight home. I made a mistake and mixed MSL for AGL when it came to the cloud base. Consequently, when flying through higher terrain, I could have gotten in serious trouble.
I couldn't uncover my mistake this moment because when turning on the flyable tab, everything looks fine. By the same time, the vertical tab shows the necessary information. 

Is there a way how to show flight limitations and set limits for "cloud base over ground"? If not, I would humbly ask for it's implementation.

How would that work in an area of rapidly undulating terrain? 

I rarely use the 'Flyable' tab, but if I do it's only to grab a general view if I can't get access to much better weather tools.





It would basically be similar to terrain warnings when you are on a specific height. Except that it now compares the cloud base to the underground and warns if the delta is smaller than a specific value.
