exM20K Posted September 24, 2018 Report Posted September 24, 2018 Stumbled on this today on the Web version of foreflight: https://blog.foreflight.com/2018/09/12/foreflight-trip-assistant-door-to-door-flight-and-fuel-stop-planner/ Plan trip legs based on available fuel load, time, or $. This is very useful to those of us that fly useful load constrained planes like FIKI Acclaim. Fltplan has had a fuel stop finder for a while, but it is not really well implemented. Bravo foreflight 1
aggiepilot04 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Posted September 24, 2018 Anyone know if FF has Acclaim performance data pre-populated? I may have to switch back if I don’t have to do all of that data entry again.
exM20K Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Posted September 24, 2018 it is. I sent them the POH and worked with them to get it right. For my TKS bird, I reduce book speed by 5% and generally wind up spot on for trip fuel. LL10 ->KCRG and back KCRG -> LL10 last week was spot on at 68 gallons. Amazing. -dan

Good timing anyways because my Garmin Pilot subscription is expiring soon.

Personally, the lack of a performance option when I transitioned from the J to the TN was a big reason I left FF in the first place. The other was the OnePak bundle/price break. I’ve given Garmin Pilot a fair shake (3ish years) and wanted to love it, but my list of frustrations is just getting longer.
