Hello there,
When I plan a flight from A to C, with an intermediate landing at B (in my case for customs), this is how I proceed:
-Draw the whole trip in SD on my Android Tablet, by selecting the waypoints and airfields
-Select B and C and choose"Land here" in the airfield options
-Then I have two legs on the chart (active one is darker than the other), 2 pilots logs, and 2 flights in the Flight details tab.
- I evaluate how much fuel I have to take onboard, and punch it in, with the first leg active.
- With the first leg still active, I open the pilot log, and check what fuel there is left at the end of this leg
- Close the pilot log, activate the second leg, open the Flight details tab, and punch in the remaining fuel in the relevant fields.
Does SD offer a short way to do this that I haven't figured out, or does anyone have another way ?
Cheers,
Alexis

I fly a simpler Piper than you have so treat each sector as a separate flight. So I have a separate SD log for each flight.
I also do fuel checks manually as I know my engine uses 17.5 litres/hr.
Sometimes one can overcomplicate things with technology!
