I second this. In particular, I would like an additional PLOG column for fuel followup. That could be useful also for VFR.

I'm posting this on behalf of members of PPL/IR Europe
https://pplir.org/

We have been promoting the use of SD as a useful tool for our members and many of us are loyal users.
We have had a good discussion on the PPL/IR Forum about SD. On the back of this we have collated some feature requests we'd like to raise for consideration
I've raised each one in it's own thread to aid Tim Dawson and the SD team to aid/triage them, but include a link below to the key ones we have raised

Ok so so far we have, in order of priority raised:

* Feature Request: Clearer means of user knowing if VFR or IFR flight rules have been used for purposes of MSA and NOTAMs.
(http://forums.skydemon.aero/Topic32054.aspx?Update=1)
* Possible Defect: correct calculation of MSA for legs to account for fly/over/fly by and starting and end points
(http://forums.skydemon.aero/Topic32055.aspx)
* Feature Request: Allow for built-in Jepp subscription
(http://forums.skydemon.aero/Topic32056.aspx?)
* Feature Request: Make PLOG better / more Customisable for IFR
(This Thread)



This thread covers

Feature Request: Make PLOG better / more Customisable for IFR 
eg space for notes,clearances 
alignment of Nav aids/frequencies to legs
option to add page breaks so route is on one page and navaids are on another to allow for better double sided printing

A user configurable PLOG (or a couple of alternative layouts which we could influence) . Frankly even for VFR the SD PLOG is not useable in printed form (no room for notes, clearance etc), frequencies should be along side the leg info not on a separate page.
