I started do add my own waypoints around unknown airports I fly to (VFR). These are the points in the circuit where I start my glide to the runway (called Top of Glide or Approaching Glide).

As SkyDemon already knows the pattern, it would be a nice feature to have a marker on this layer, showing the ToG. In the settings, we could decide if we like a 3° or a 5° slope to the runway

This helps on every non-standard pattern-circuit as there are almost all in Switzerland...

And yes, the ToG is for every airplane the same as it is defined by angle. You then have to now what powersettings you need for this angle.

Vote for it - thanks!
