1) Allow fuel tank timer to start timing from wheels up (in-air).
At least for me, the timer on this should start from wheels up, not power up. It is the in-air time that you need, as that is when you burn fuel at a significant rate. I also have a very good idea of how much fuel I should have burned in the first 30 min, and that is a good checkpoint. If you introduce the variability of the time of the ground run, that eliminates that as a useful check.
2) Have a predefined timer block that shows:
Time out (power up)
Time in (ground, before shutdown, could just be the "current" time once landed)
Total time in air (*) - in fractional hours
Block time (Time out to Time in) - in fractional hours
Optionally you could also add Time off (wheels up) and Time on (landing time).
I need at least the first four for every flight.
(*) There is no way to configure the Total time in air currently, you can sort of get the Block Time, but it would be nice if all four were available in a discrete block.
* Orest
