Tim,

The product continues to evolve and remains in my opinion first class, well done.

I planned a route from Caernarfon (EGCK) to Bembridge (EGHJ) and back. During this and the return journey it became apparent that it might be useful if some form of vertical planning element.

What I mean is that if during a leg of the journey I am climbing for an extended period (e.g FL95 !) at a lower airspeed (e.g 120kts) than my cruising airspeed (e.g 145kts) then this has a bearing on the time estimate of a leg.

Also if I choose to descend at cruising speed, thereby saving fuel, I don't benefit and "catch up" later on that leg.

May be the easiest way to implement this is to place a section on the airplane settings for speed in the climb, speed in the descent ?

Do you get what I mean???

Bump - any update on when this feature will become available? I think vertical nav would be the icing on the cake...
