You create a separate flight plan for each respective leg of the flight.
Then you open and close the plans as they come up so that SAR can find

your
butt if you bite the Big One between stops.


Jim, I fully understand the need of a flight plan that you file with the FSS
:-). That isn't the issue. Beleive me, I fully appreciate the need for an
accurate FLIGHT PLAN.

What I am trying to do is build a FLIGHT LOG that reflects accurate
altitudes without having to create a seperate flight log for each of the
individual legs. Within the flight planner, the flight path is refered to as
a ROUTE. When you enter your departure and destination airports that
information becomes the ROUTE name. And if you enter 5500 as your flight
altitude that is what is assigned to the ENTIRE ROUTE regardless of what
direction your going or what other altitudes you want to fly at.

Either that or simply make airports "B" and "C" waypoints between airport
"A" and airport "A".


I tried doing that but it still didn't work. When I enter the altitude for
the waypoint, the information is being ignored. I suspect either I am doing
something wrong, or there is a problem with the software that runs the
flight planner program.


Thanks.

Harry
