The fuel timer callout, when does that start timing, on takeoff? If you are referring to the switch tanks alert, that timer starts at power on.

Can you consider having it start timing on takeoff, or at least have an option both ways? I would think it would be much less common practice to include taxi time in your fuel switch interval, as the fuel burned on the ground it pretty minimal.

It is too bad that you can't have BOTH block and air times/total times, on the timers, or can you? ... just added it to our system for candidate feature adds.

Thanks!

Release 1 freight train long ago left the station but both features are now candidates for future releases.

Well, of course I was not thinking it would be in the initial release now. I think I see some smoke just past the junction, must be the Avidyne train coming in now!

Thanks for adding it for future consideration.
