It looks like the "Target" altitude comes for the Altitude planning screen in the flight plan. Easiest way to see it is to add the Target Alt instrument, go in to flight plan, altitude planning then select show on map so you can see the way point and move it up or down with the +/- dialog box...

I like the 75% setting.

That's a great suggestion Bruce. Walter, another topic that might be worth considering is how to configure the glide ring settings and which numbers in the aircraft profile affect it the most and what adjustment might be suggested if the pilot felt the glide ring was a bit too optimistic. Tony

Walter, See this thread here which goes over how to remove an old flight plan in order to get a new briefing: https://adventurepilot.community.forum/threads/brief-wont-update.324/ Might be worth covering as it's not very intuitive how its currently set up. Tony

Yes, I felt the same way on this the first time I saw it. It's not obvious that there is one more step after "File new plan" to "File VFR Plan" or maybe "File IFR Plan". Maybe the first button should be "Preview new flight plan" then the "File VFR Plan".

I'm getting the same error message on my Samsung Note 9: "Estimated Time of Departs (ICAO): "10/07/2023T1730" is more than 2 hours in the past. I found that briefing by selecting, Briefing/Filing, View Last Briefing and the time on it matches up with the error message. There is no button to...

I like the last mock-up the best. Fill in either Departure or Arrival time and the other box would be calculated.

This is a neat idea. I like your markup solution for setting the time and date.

Nice idea. Upvoted.

I learned something new today! Thanks for sharing Gatormyk! It even looks good on my android phone. Tony

The winds aloft table from the briefing is also difficult (impossible) to read in Windows and my phone. Looks like a display size and parsing issue. Here's a work around that might help: Leave the flight plan and get back to the map click Map Mode button select Hi-Res Winds - a dragable...

Skypilot, here are a few settings that might help get you a very minimal looking screen and minimize some of the alerts that are bothering you: map out of date warnings - nothing you can do there except to update your charts. This alert is a good thing to help make sure you have most curret...

In Windows version the Google button shows up as soon as you type something that isn't in the database. I did a search for Hood River, OR. It isn't until you enter the "d" in Hood that the Lat/Lng button switches over to the Google button. Similar action on other searches like Stevenson, WA...

bkfly1, If you're using iFly while connected to the internet it does just what you're asking. In the flight planning screen add a city then click on the "Google" button on the right side. It brings up a list of airports sorted by distance from the location you entered. Typing in Coralville, IA...

John, I don't see a spot to change your time zone inside of iFly. I poked around and I think the time zone setting comes from your device. I'm using the Windows version this morning so there is a setting on the laptop for set time automatically and set time zone automatically. I can turn off...
