I've been using the iPad version for a little more than a month now and am generally very impressed. There is one thing I can't find though: is there a way to see the Actual Time of Departure after take-off? It's not in the live PLOG (only times over route waypoints). Obviously I can find it in the flight log after landing, but it would be nice to see it while still airborne.

Hi Tim, here are my thoughts.

First, I would think that there ought to be two PLOGs, a planning version when on the ground and a flying version when actually navigating.

The user ought to be able to customize which columns are displayed in each, simply because needs differ. The flying version ought to be "live" in the sense that all values are updated dynamically as the flight progresses.

In my personal flying version I would opt for the following columns:

Waypoint ID: ID or full name as per selection in the chart settings
leg length: that would actually be distance to next waypoint and updated live. For passed points: planned distance.
ground speed: easy, updated live. For passed points: average ground speed.
ETA: live and based on actual off block time. For passed points: ATA
cumulative fuel used: (based on aircraft profile climb/descent profile and elapsed time)
cumulative distance flown: live
cumulative time flown: live
comm frequency: suggested by SD but user editable.
All heading/course/wind correction stuff I get from following the magenta line on the map. The altitude, climb and descent I get from the vertical profile.

Greetings, -- Chris.
