Prior to using the much superior Sky Angel, then subscribing to Sky Demon, I used Jepp FlightStar for my VFR planning (I admit it !).

One of the features I found really useful in FlightStar was the ability to select a waypoint airfield to land and re-fuel (or clear customes etc whilst enroute to South of France). This allowed a trip kit to be printed with all legs included in the PLOG, and to automatically dowload the approach and landing plates etc for the intermediate stops. The PLOG also calculated the diffeences in the total leg times to include the landing and take off info.

In SkyDemon currently, if I want to fly to my ususal field in the south of France, I can't capture this landing en-route data on the PLOG or virtual radar etc.

Is this functionality already included in SD and I can't find it (if so please help look in the correct direction), if not can it be added as part of the planning procedures, perhaps as a right click on an en-route airfiled with an option to land and refuel? This is then reflected in the PLOG and virtual radar, and the plates downloaded automatically if available?

Great stuff and keep up the excellent work.

This thread is very intersting as it makes one wonder if navigational equipments used in commercial operations cater for a similar facilty i.e. planning several trips in a single lump-sum.

Well Jeppesen Flight Star planning software does, I don't know if that can be transferred to the on board GPS or Flight Management system or not.

I always used to plan return journeys as one flight, and print out strip maps for in cockpit use.

prep and plan for a trip with multiple sectors would be very useful ... yes please ..... gets my vote!
