Flight Planning for Long Trips
One of the things I do when planning a long trip is to plug in the start
and end points into the flight planning software. In the route portion I place an intermediate airport if the route has to take a jog left or right for weather or obstacles. This then gives me the leg distances and times accounting for winds aloft along the route. From this information I can set my fuel stops based along with fuel price information from various sources.
