exM20K Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share 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.

aggiepilot04 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exM20K Posted September 24, 2018 Author Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good timing anyways because my Garmin Pilot subscription is expiring soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
