Selecting the default cruise setting

In SD (on the iPad), whenever I create a new route and go to the Flight Details tab, I have to change the cruise setting. In my aircraft profile I have defined different power settings for cruise (100%, 75%, 65% and 55%). Usually I fly with 65% power, but the 100% profile will always be selected by default.


Regarding power settings I have two questions:

(1) How do I delete a power setting?
(2) How do I specify a power setting as the default setting?

Thanks, -- Chris.

There really isn't a better way to handle this, if the user has made a change to their aircraft profile since saving a route (which includes the profile). Should we use the one that's part of the stored route, or the latest profile as defined on the device? All we can reasonably do is alert the user that there's a difference and let them sort it out. For us to attempt to sort it out ourselves would introduce an unacceptable unknown into the equation. The cloud is a red herring; it's just a way of transferring/storing aircraft profiles.
