Dear,
Would be very usefull is you add a calculation point to begin descend.
Clould be somenthing like this:

Set the target altitude (by default nav target airport or WPT)
Set target altitud over groud (ex. 700 ft)
Set descend rate (ex. 500 ft/min)

System has Ground Speedy and current altitude, so is easy to calculare the distance to target where descend begins.
When target NAV DME is on carculateed distance, show an alrm indicating begin descend and rate.

Great APP!
Thanks

I will think about it.

This is not what you mean, but...

You can:
- Open Nav item list and long tap any RWY.
- Select ILS approach
- Fill THR crossing height and GS angle
- Press OK

Customize screen and select CAL - Correct Altitude. You will see the right GS altitude (it is changeing depending of distance from touch down point)
If your device has baro sensor you will see desired descent rate to touch down.
