the last circle to calculate below, average and above average climb and indicate
accordingly i.e. red bubbles for strongest lift and blue dots for weakest lift or sink.
• If MacCready is selected then the Thermal Assistant will use the current MacCready
setting to show rate of climb below, MacCready and above the MacCready setting

the flight to show the rate of climb below average vario, average vario and above
average vario.
