The TAS value for a route leg given in the Route Plan takes into account any climbs and descents made in that leg.

On the other hand, the TAS value for a route leg in the Pilot Log is the cruise TAS regardless of any climbs and descents.

I suggest that SkyDemon should be consistent here and that the values given in the Route Plan are the most useful -- the same values should be used in the Pilot Log.

I am using SkyDemon Plan (PC) version 3.0.3.0.

Is the PLOG not equally easy to get to, with the same information? (On Android especially)

In the PC version, I don't have to "go to" the Route Plan at all. I can have it displayed at the bottom of the screen together with the map display.

I agree that it is easier to get to the PLOG in the Android version, compared to the PC version.
