One of the items I miss from FltPlan Go it the navigation log.  In fact, I still log in and do my planning on the FltPlan go web site so that I have this log, which I print out and carry with me.  The one feature that I really like about it, is that in planning, it gives you four options, each at a different altitude.  Which gives you a choice of "fly time"  and "fuel burn" .  I can then make a decision on altitude to fly at and weigh, time vs fuel, and also if I am flying IFR, rather I am in the clouds, below or above them.  I also gives you waypoints, with time and fuel usage at each point, which is important if you are on an IFR flight plan, to monitor, incase you get ahead or behind your projected time. It would be nice to have something like this incorporated in your program.  It is something I miss therefore I still have to go back to FltPlan Go to get this infromation.

Great program

Thanks for you help

Kent, I'd like to be able to print a flight plan from iFly, too. Of course, it's possible to make a screenshot (or for the hardware iFly devices, take a photo) and print that out. It's better than nothing, but not what we'd both like. Maybe there could be something like "Share with Local Devices" that would send a flight plan's data to a phone or computer by wifi or bluetooth in a form that could be read into and printed by one of that device's native apps--Notes in iOS, for example.

iFly does give us something like FltPlan Go's altitude choice: the "Altitudes..." button in Flight Plan displays the route on a vertical scale with the winds plotted at 2000 foot intervals. That makes it easy to see how the wind will affect your flight.
