General Altitude Warning

The most common pilot deviation is altitude busting.

My wish: A button that allows a pilot to input any altitude such as an ATC assigned altitude.

When the aircraft climbs or descends within 300' of this altitude a red warning appears on screen. A tap anywhere on screen removes the screen warning and the altitude from the warning selection.

Re: General Altitude Warning

This could be tied in with the target altitude instrument.

Re: General Altitude Warning

What I would like to see is a button completely independent of the flight plan that could be used at a moments notice to enter any assigned altitude.

Further usability enhancement:

1 altitude button.

Opens a field to contain the altitude.

Below the field opens an oversize numeral pad for easily entering the altitude with an Accept and a Cancel button. This pad has numerals 1-9 plus 0, 00 and 000.

The altitude is entered accept or cancel are pressed and the screen returns to normal.

Re: General Altitude Warning

and feed this altitude to the target altitude instrument and the VST instrument would then tell you to start a climb or descent to this new altitude at X fpm, and your flight plan would be amended accordingly.
