Everything in blue is editable. Everything that is red indicates an out-of-spec condition. Yellow indicates that the expected idler loading is greater than the idler rating.

o paired flights will force carry and return points to be listed under the same vertical curve.

oany flight point that exists within the arc length of a vertical curve will have its flight point listed and have calculations performed according to that flight’s tensions.
