I thought this had been discussed elsewhere but can't find it.

Also can't find how to print nav logs, etc from iFly. I kind of remember this isn't available. If I'm correct, why not, and will it become available?

Yes, it's been discussed many times before, and no it's not available.  As for why, I can think of a couple of reasons:

- iFly tries to maintain a consistent set of capabilities and a consistent user interface across all platforms.
- Print capability is not universally available across all supported platforms.  
- If print capability is available, the method to do that is not consistent across platforms

I am pretty sure AP has said they're trying to figure out a reasonable solution.  As for when it will be available, Adventure Pilot generally doesn't announce features in advance of their availability.  "The software's ready when it's ready."

That sounds like a very reasonable assessment. When I'm asked about iFly limitations like that (my biggie is lack of copy and paste), I explain that iFly's cross-platform consistency is based in sitting on top of the OS rather than being integrated into the OS.

If were talking about a short, one screen flight plan, I guess one option for iOS and Android devices is a screen capture and print.
