Vertical navigation

[preid]

A few years back I flew behind a portable GPS that showed Fpm needed at any point to reach the final destination elevation. An example, landing into KSEA at 20 miles out it would tell me -XXX needed to reach that airport altitude, from INFO altitude. The number would increase the Closer at that cruise altitude I got, unless of course I went to a lower altitude.
Is this something that can be put into a wish list. I already put request online last year, but bringing it up again to see if it is still in cue.
Would like it to be an option that could be added/hidden via button so it would not always be on screen on cruise.
Thx

Anywhere map does that. Begin Decent at VNAV= 500FPM. I love it. It will give you the required FPM decent rate to reach pattern altitude at the flight planed airport. Example: If your 8500' and you detestation airport is miles away as you get closer you're notice a number that starts rapping up at 500 FPM. If you start you decent at 500FPM then you will end up at the pattern altitude of the airport. I usually wait until 1000' then start my decent. The numbers will go up until you start down. A little long here, but you get..

Yep, it's still very much a feature that we have on our minds.

Hopefully the minds will start putting it into the firmware soon!
Thanks for the status!

When you put it in, let the Skyview draw a string line from the current location or at a point based on desired vertical speed and have the autopilot pitch servo follow the string like a glide slope
