UI suggestion. Flightplan Form: enter data directly in field instead of add/subtract 1 buttons

Flightplan Form requires you to enter a number for 'Cruising Speed', 'Time Enroute', 'Endurance'. I assume that Cruising Speed is derived from the airplane profile, and Time Enroute from the Pilot Log, and Endurance from W&B. Numbers may vary considerably from these preset values for a variety of reasons, though.

‌To get to your desired number, you need to use + and - buttons (that luckily accelerate when pressed down). I find this cumbersome and time-consuming (and wonder if others agree).
‌An open field with a suggested ghost number (grey) would be more versatile.

‌Thanks you for consideration.

Can you describe the situation where the numbers SkyDemon generates for those fields would be inaccurate, please? Thanks!
