I agree that if the clearance is "Fly heading 270º to join the ILS 30R final approach course", that is not a clearance for an approach nor is it a clearance to start descending. It is also not a clearance to fly a heading of 255º from about two miles away, which the Dynon wants to do. I...

Since this is a wish thread, I'll add my wishes: 1) Display advisory enroute VNAV information from the Avidyne IFD series, as has been mentioned. 2) Add a TAS mode to the flight directory/autopilot for climbs as descents. This would work like IAS mode does currently, but adds the ability...
