Tim,

The product continues to evolve and remains in my opinion first class, well done.

I planned a route from Caernarfon (EGCK) to Bembridge (EGHJ) and back. During this and the return journey it became apparent that it might be useful if some form of vertical planning element.

What I mean is that if during a leg of the journey I am climbing for an extended period (e.g FL95 !) at a lower airspeed (e.g 120kts) than my cruising airspeed (e.g 145kts) then this has a bearing on the time estimate of a leg.

Also if I choose to descend at cruising speed, thereby saving fuel, I don't benefit and "catch up" later on that leg.

May be the easiest way to implement this is to place a section on the airplane settings for speed in the climb, speed in the descent ?

Do you get what I mean???

Thank you David for the suggestions. I will try them. Having said that, this information is requested regularly by ATC while flying in the North East of England, Around London and across the Channel to France, Isle of Man , Ireland and the Channel Isles. I feel if the information is within the programme already, why not use it without too many 'vulnerable clickings' of a touch screen in sometimes what can prove to be a very busy airspace. My philosophy is why do the calculations if the technology is already doing it? May be too laid back an approach.
