Great! Thanks. Now it’s working for me too. I really, really like the two-column view.

Great, just installed.

But am I blind?

Where can I enter the extra fuel?

I was able to enter reserves or surcharges in the aircraft settings. As always: superbly sorted!

Ah, great. I didn’t look there, but in the flight planning, during the calculations.

Automated per aircraft is, of course, also a great solution.

A half-hour buffer + reserves for climb, taxi, etc (just input the worst case) and then it works.

Great solution. I like it.

Thanks Sven!! I found it there as well.

So you enter 30 minutes under ‘Reserve’ there and then it’s taken into account in every plan, is that right?

Thanks! :waving_hand:

If you could now inform the system whether you are merely overflying a waypoint on a polygon flight or actually landing there, the fuel calculation could also incorporate the surcharges here.
