Lighter Than Air Hover

The Lighter Than Air Hover strategy is a 3D strategy that models a lighter than air vehicle in hovering flight.

Heading

The aircraft will attempt to achieve the specified heading The direction that the aircraft is pointing. option without exceeding the Max Heading Rate.

Altitude

Select a method for defining the altitude or change in altitude of the aircraft during the maneuver from the drop-down menu, and define any subordinate properties that are displayed for that method.

Table - Altitude Modes

Mode	Description
Hold Initial Altitude	The aircraft will attempt to hold the altitude at which it began the maneuver. Select whether to control the altitude rate or the flight path angle at which the aircraft will adjust its altitude with respect to the goal.
Specify Altitude	The aircraft will attempt to maintain a specified altitude above the current ground reference. The absolute altitude that you want the aircraft to achieve and then select whether to control the altitude rate or the flight path angle at which the aircraft will adjust its altitude with respect to the goal.
Specify Altitude Change	The aircraft will attempt to achieve a specified altitude relative to the aircraft's altitude at the beginning of the maneuver. The relative altitude change that you want the aircraft to achieve and then select whether to control the altitude rate or the flight path angle at which the aircraft will adjust its altitude with respect to the goal.
Specify Altitude Rate	The aircraft will attempt to maintain a specified rate of altitude change during the maneuver.
Hold Initial Altitude Rate	The aircraft will attempt to hold the altitude rate at which it began the maneuver.
Parachute Mode	The aircraft's altitude rate is controlled by the drag area and coefficient defined for the parachute, and decreases as the aircraft descends (and the atmosphere around it thickens.
