Quick Flight Log: Streamlining Efficiency for Pilots
RocketRoute now introduces the Quick Flight Log feature, which provides pilots with quick access to their route waypoint list on the map screen. This feature enables pilots to adapt their flight to real-time conditions by making necessary changes to their flight plan. The Quick Flight Log presents users with a DCT icon and a list of waypoints, including bearing, distance, and ETE/ETA information. Pilots can initiate a Direct-to-flight plan with the DCT icon, allowing them to navigate directly to a waypoint without following the pre-planned flight path. This flexibility empowers pilots to make real-time adjustments, optimizing their routes to avoid unfavorable weather or take advantage of favorable winds. By enhancing situational awareness and improving flight safety, the Quick Flight Log feature streamlines the flight planning process, providing pilots with a convenient and efficient solution.
