A sensible routing / altitude from a missed approach at destination could produce a realistic fuel requirement. In addition many of the items shown via the red Warnings tab are due to the direct routing assumed from destination to destination alternate going through CAS, restricted areas etc. This reduces the effectiveness of the pre-flight gross error check on the planned route by swamping it with unnecessary warnings.

From a safety perspective, alternate planning seems like an after thought. Without being to actually plan a route to the alternate: The NOTAM may be wrong The fuel planning and PLOG will be wrong The airspace warnings will be wrong
