Ability to set default Flight Mode in settings

Group: Forum Members Posts: 594, Visits: 29K	I fly IFR OCAS quite regularly so want the VFR chart displayed by default, and I find it irritating that I have to remember to change flight mode from ‘ VFR’ two ‘Mixed’ each time I create a new route. Forgetting to do so means I may miss some relevant NOTAM. Any chance that a preferred mode could be created in Setup > Planning options?

How about a mandatory pop-up instead, asking will you stay your last selection? The problem with mandatory pop-ups is that they invariably annoy most people and then there is then a general clamour to remove them. I think a default option does cover most options. Most of my SkyDemon-using acquaintances are pure VFR flyers, the rest being mostly VFR with the occasional non-airways IFR.
