Optimal task distance to conical end of speed section.

[philderbeast]

How is the optimal task distance to be measured when there is a conical end of speed section (CESS)?

It could be considered a point or it could be considered to be a cylinder of some default or nominal radius, perhaps implied implicitly via a height above ground.

If the radius of the CESS is zero at goal altitude then the tip of the cone is at ground otherwise for larger radii, the CESS is a buried cone.

Projection onto ground is discussed for turnpoint cylinders but not for conical ends of speed section.
