Hi Tim,

I am using SkyDemon for some time now and I am happy with it.

I have a suggestion regarding the Flight Plans - everytime I plan a trip (which I do always well in advance of the actual flying) I try to get everything ready and save the trip to be able to recall it later. I would appreciate if SD had a funcionality which would allow it to prepare a Flight Plan (fill in all the details about the aircraft, route, times etc) and save it togehter with all other trip data (as a part of the package).

At the moment, once I fill in the Flight Plan I can either file it or cancel it.

I'd like to be able to recall the prepared Flight Plan to update some details before the flight or once all the remaining details are known and file it (now I have to fill in everything from scratch).

What do you think about it?

Thanks,

Milan

Tim,

I am coming back after sime time and see this feature attracted some interest from the others... Smile

My points were the following:

1) I usually do not change the route - just the times. And as I always re-write the times calculated by SD (round up to 5 min and add some margin to allow for little deviations) I am basically re-writing a big part of the flight plan.

2) I also have to fill in every time some of the aircraft supplementary specifications like emergency equipment and my phone number in the remarks...

What might be the solution?

ad 1) Let the flight plan to be saved within SkyDemon flightplanning package (and/or to customer area accessible from the web page) - I can imagine three buttons there: Submit, Cancel, Save (the Save button would not save it on the disk but would close the flight plan dialog which would then be saved together with other data within the flightplanning package) - for later editing and filing.

ad 2) In the aircraft section, add a tab with the supplementary information. This info would then be inserted directly into the flight plan like the other data (immatriculation, type...).

How about that?

Milan
