On the subject of flight plan legs:Just what is the real world convention for heading, speed and distance position in a plan? Should this information appear on the line with the the waypoint at the beginning of the leg, or on the line with the waypoint at the end of the leg? It could get pretty confuseing if we don't follow some standard, prefferably that used in the real world.
Is speed normally listed as ground speed or indicated airspeed. Allowance for winds and altitude could really complicate time enroute calculations based on indicated airspeed.
Do plans normally have seperate sections for departure and destination airport information?
Does the US FAA have a standard form for fileing a flight plan, and are the forms in other nations arrainged the same way?
