It would be great if the aircraft profiles had separate entries for Air Speed, Fuel Burn, and Vertical Speed for each of the three flight phases: Climb / Cruise / Descent. Then, update the flight planner to use this information (along with altitude and forecast winds aloft) to calculate (more) accurate values for time to climb, top of climb point, top of descent point, total flight time, and total fuel burn.

In the 9.4 release and moving forward, we will be taking Winds Aloft into the Flight Planning process. Currently there are no plans to incorporate those Climb, Cruise and Descent values into each flight phase. However, I'll add them to the Wishlist for future consideration. Good feedback.
