Having played around today with 3.9 (iOS), I do miss the Flight Details tab for 1-click access.

I use it quite a lot not just for W&B but also to set aircraft, set takeoff time, view flight time (on iPhone, though this is now on main map like on iPad so not an issue), and set fuel. I guess this is more important when planning than in flight.

Thank you for your insight into what pilots will do. However, we have some perspective on this ourselves. Please do not assume we make these changes lightly, or for no good reason.

‌‌How many times do you typically pick your aircraft for a route you're planning?

A bit of a dismissive tone there, if you don't mind me saying, Tim. Crying

‌In your last Newsletter you wrote:
"‌While planning your flight we generate warnings for penetration of controlled or dangerous airspace, planning below MSA, and a few other things. These warnings have always been displayed in the Flight Details tab but unfortunately many people do not know about that tab. We have therefore brought them out into their own Warnings tab, which serves as an excellent reference while planning a flight to quickly check that the hazards we’re telling you about are hazards you’re aware of"

I'd be interested in knowing how you assessed that 'many people' didn't know about the flight details tab? It was so intrinsic to the workflow in setting up the parameters for a route - like date and time - that I find it quite difficult to understand (or even believe) that a great number of people weren't aware of its existence and would thus miss potential warnings. 

‌I would suggest that the same people who couldn't find where to put the date and time of their flight previously will have even greater difficulty finding it two levels down in the Route menu.
