Wondering if there are any plans to develop the "cross XX at and
maintain" feature. It would be a nice feature to be able to descend
aircraft to cross a fix at a certain altitude and have them maintain
it. I'm thinking it would come in handy on the approach, maybe to the
FAF. Again, just thinking out loud here. Thoughts?

Not to say it couldn't be done (after all, look what Jay has already
done), but I think that might be a little tricky, as speed would need
to be regulated. Would you propose that to be done auto. by the
programming? or would the command simply be translated as a
combination of altitude and heading, and then the controller would
have to regulate the speed?
