AOPA Real-Time FLIGHT PLANNER QUESTION
I want to create a flight plan that goes from airport A to B then to C and
back to A. The headings will change during that flight which means I have to fly at both even+500 and odd+500 feet altitudes (VFR flight). How do I make the flight planner reflect those altitudes in the flight log without having to create a separate flight plan for each of the respective legs of the flight? Thanks for your help.

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. Either that or simply make airports "B" and "C" waypoints between airport "A" and airport "A". -- Jim Fisher |

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 |

Harry,
You just enter the first cruising altitude that you plan on using on the first leg of the flight. Good Luck, David Smith "Harry Gordon" wrote in message ...
