Well... not exactly. You should always put MC=0 (setting it higher
would give you safety margin as you can slow down)


Sorry, I don't acept that.

As I said in an earlier post - with a head wind present, increasing
the MC from zero will show reducing altitude required until it reaches
a minimum and then increases again.

Try it in simulator mode on any PDA based glide computer. If it
doesn't do that there something wrong with the implementation.
Computers as old as the MNAV did this right.
