Landing at surface base

When we drop out of the re-entry phase about 200km away from the base, the last phase of the trip is on its way - landing the spaceship at Habana.

During the final stage of landing you will have to lower the landing gear manually (press the G key for that). If you don't you will have a bit of a hard landing ;-)

mode="Glide" tells the landing processor to glide to a runway from landing like a plane.

Base is the surface base we will land at.

Final is the distance from base where the runway alignment is started.

Runway defines the runway paramters: x,y alt, hdg. 'x' and 'y' specify the offset of the touchdown point in base corrdinates. 'alt' is the height of the runway above ground (usually zero) and 'hdg' is the heading of the runway as seen from the touchdown point.
