Just double checking my understanding of the see you mobile, (Oudie) reserve altitude correction.

If I set my reserve at 1000' and my target field is at 700' and my "Arrival Altitude" says 2700' ... does that mean I will arrive at 3700' essentially 2000 above the ground?

If you set your Alt Res [ft] at 1000'. The Arrival will say 0' when you have final glide to the target selected. You will arrive at 1000' above the target point selected assuming nothing changes on the glide.

If arrival says 1000' you will arrive 2000' above the target point. The Alt Res + 1000'.
