At planning time, SD uses the meteorologic forecast to calculate GS and its derivates as well as remaining FoB. Is this being updated w/ real life flight times? E.g. assume a flight plan w/ 10 legs. After 5 legs, assume you're ahead/behind of time and you have more/less FoB than initially estimated. Will this be taken into consideration for the coming remaining 5 legs, or not?

SkyDemon doesn't know your actual fuel consumption, so that column is just the initial calculation and does not get updated.

The ETAs at your waypoints still to come are calculated on the fly based on whether you're going faster or slower than you planned to go.
