Is there a way to view that? I've searched the UI but can't find it anywhere. To see 'time in the air so far' I suggest that you: 1. Use your device's built-in stopwatch running in the background; 2. Use the aircraft's stopwatch, if it has one, or; 3. Use your wristwatch, if you have one (there are many aviation friendly wristwatches available at a reasonable price); 4. Use the Ruler Function (see below). For 'distance travelled so far' I suggest that you: 1. Use the Ruler Function, which will provide Track, Time, Groundspeed and Fuel Consumption, or; 2. Divide Groundspeed by Time Elapsed. Hope that helps.

I guess this is a space/formatting decision, as on a tablet these items are shown in a bar at the top of the plog once under way.

Why do you want travelled distance instead of flight time?

ETE Next/End and Distance Next/End are available in the top bar, but NOT elapsed time so far or distance flown so far.

Once the flight has commenced, Flight Time and Distance flown ARE shown at the top of the PLOG. Try it, but if you are not actually moving, you will need to press the 'Log Off Blocks'
