Hi,

Just a question...if i fly on pro-pilot and want to make a long haul flight in a B757 is it possible to make a stop
For example i want to go from amsterdam to vancouver can i make a stop in iceland,and then to vancouver
Yes..i know i can take the B777 but i like the fly the B757 it's a great plane
:)

Best regards,

From my experience I don't think this is possible, unless there are two seperate flights in the system Ie a Flight To Iceland from your departure airport and then a flight from Iceland to your destination airport. Otherwise propilot will see you landing in Iceland and will continue to monitor but "on the ground" as far as I am aware. I may be wrong and quite often am though! ;)

Well Phil I think you are right about this. The flight logger can't handel a touch and go. So it would surprise me very much if it could handel a refuel stop. To refuel you would need to turn off the engines and doing that would end the log. When you start-up again the logger would see that as a new flight. So at the moment I think it means you have to be sure aircraft can do the flight in one stop.

Another "problem" you can fly a class 7 flight, only with a class 7 airplane, regardless you take stops or not. Of course, with ProPilot you even cannot make stops, as it was mentioned correctly.
