Methods
View SourceProjectedAltitude(Altitude, LinearDistance, LinearDistance, Nullable<Altitude>)
FAA : To determine the highest altitude within the turn, determine the projected altitude for a known distance.
Declaration
public Altitude ProjectedAltitude(Altitude segmentStartingMSLElevation, LinearDistance d500, LinearDistance d350, Altitude? publishedMaximumMSLAltitude)Parameters
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Altitude | segmentStartingMSLElevation | Segment starting MSL elevation |
