iFly GPS Forum

This request is the epitome of laziness, I know.

I'm planning a flight from AZ to FL. I can't make it non-stop. Will need at least one stop for fuel, perhaps two for overnight.

So I go to Flight Plan page and enter my home airport and Pensacola as my Destination.

Then I look at the big (presumably) Great Circle route on the chart to get a feel for the route and to start looking for cheap fuel for a stop.

I tap an airport and "insert" to add the fuel stop to the flight plan.

I know I can designate that stop as "Landing" in the flight plan. But what I really would like is for iFly to break up the plan into Legs.

So how about a "Leg" button, where it automagically makes Leg #1 out of this flight plan? (Eg. "Name of Flight Plan" [Leg 1])

Then, it automagically sets my fuel stop Landing as the new Departure point for Leg #2 and keeps my original Destination (Pensacola) as my Final, unless I enter a new Landing point for Leg #2.

It knows I'm done breaking Legs when my Destination remains as Pensacola. Then the "Leg" button would gray out.

How about adding a pilot defined range per lag to the aircraft profile. Then when you plan a flight that is longer than your range, the flight planner suggests legs based on your range. You could then look at fuel prices in that area and plan a landing/leg.

Clever trick. But maybe I'm missing something. When you're on an intermediate leg, doesn't your FINAL instrument always show Miami? I have my instruments set up to show waypoint info on the left, info to FINAL on right.
