I would love to see this feature as it would make flight planning for charters a lot easier where theres a requirement to save weather, notams, blogs etc for AOC flights. ‌ ‌To reiterate, the basic idea is, if you had a route with multiple 'Land Here' sectors, you would have the option to create one Briefing Pack for the entire route, not just the selected sector. This one Briefing Pack would include individual plogs, fuel planning and weight & balance calculations for each sector (as this will tend to change based on fuel and payload), but could easily combine weather and notams for the entire route, ‌ ‌Please make it happen. ‌ ‌Thanks Pete

No, all same day. ‌ Sounds interesting. Indeed a typical Weekend trip VFR has 2,3 or 4 legs with landings - may be for Training. At the Moment I do use the "land here ‌" Feature, but get only one PLOG. Indeed it would be nice to have a Checkbox like "create separate PLOGs for every leg". ‌But I see some pitfalls: We Need complete separate PLOGs with included safety margins for fuel/time. but if SD Counts down fuel amount from ‌each leg, calculation will be more and more unprecise. For example: Build PLOGs for 3 legs with landings Of course, SD has to take into account 3 times Approach/departure fuel and taxi. But it also would add 45' extra fuel for each leg - even if you don't Need it. The calculated fuel needed then will be much higher than your aircraft can carry. Is that what you mean ?‌‌‌‌ ‌‌

Its just a case of transferring this information into each plog(s).
