FLIGHT PLANNER
==============

- This plugin is written for recreational VFR flight planning.  
- Use the weather picker to plot a flight plan.   
- You can also upload a plan. (Upload formats: .gpx, .ep1, .efp.  or Download as:  .gpx.)
- Airports (found in the Windy Airports layer) can be used to add a waypoint.  Clicking on an airport or dragging the picker close to an airport will show the airport ICAO code above the picker.  Clicking on this will open the airport information pane.   
- Sliding the aircraft icon along the route will set the Windy map to the appropriate time and altitude. 
- Altitude, speed, time and date can be set for selected legs.  You can select "agl" or above "msl".
- Long press-or double-click on a row in the flight plan to select single leg. 
- Click the "Read Wx" to load the weather data for your route. Ground speed and corrected ETE are then calculated.  
- If you change the position, altitude, speed or time of waypoints, click the "Read Wx" button again to update Wx data. 
- "Allow Drag"  button allows dragging the waypoints.  "Lock Drag"  again to prevent dragging accidentally.
- In the Settings menu:  Alert values for different overlays can be set.  The alert sections will then be marked with red along the route after "Read Wx" has run.
- Airspace data from openAIP.net has been translated to geojson and can be loaded in the Airspace menu.  Do not load too many countries.
- The "R Planner" button opens the Windy Route Planner. Altitude will be displayed in the Route Planner. The flight plan cannot be modified while the Route Planner is open.
- I am experimenting with Route Planner for touch devices.
- Selecting local time in settings will show local time in the flight plan with the timezone offset.  This is corrected for DST.    
- Selecting Timezone will show the Timezone name in the information marker and will highlight the timezone boundaries as the aircraft icon is moved.
