Entire vertical profile

In the app, you can zoom out, but you only ever see about 100NM of the vertical profile. Is there a way to see and/or print out the entire trip's vertical profile? In the old AOPA flight planner (haven't checked the new one) you could see the entire route and I found it useful.

While on the print out topic. where is the print nav log option (or is there one)? Again, the AOPA planner does this very well. Yes, I Know an EFB is supposed to reduce paper, but I always like a paper nav log on my kneeboard.

Try the Altitudes button in the Flight Plan screen (or the same thing: More Options button, followed by choosing Altitude Planning). That shows the whole flight plan. Or are you wanting it on the vertical profile instrument?

If it's about having an unlimited view on the instrument -- my opinion is that's overkill. I don't need to know I'm going to run into something more than 10-20 minutes ahead of me.

Regarding printing the flight plan: there have been multiple requests for that, and some discussion on workarounds.

Everything he said is correct.

Printing FPs is in the works!
