What I am referring is under: SET DESTINATION (OPTIONAL); in an example: flight plan in a Lear 45 from KTPA to KMCO; I can set
the arrival time in hours and minutes, but the last box (ACTUAL TIME GMT) states "01h40". This would not be the time it takes to travel
from KTPA to KMCO. I also looked at the flight plan in a DC10 from KSEA to KSLE, and the boxed time is "01h40", same as before.
And that box (ACTUAL TIME GMT) does not allow an edit. Maybe it's not important, I don't know. But, if that boxed calculation is used,
in part, to determine when an aircraft may need maintenance, it can be a killer.
