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. 

I have some other significant (safety of life) issues I’m going to raise as separate threads. But this issue is in the same class I’d say.

I think two things are needed.
Option to set default flight mode
Reminder in NOTAMS and PLOG what mode was used
