      Could you add the average wind along a leg drawn in the distance and measurement section? Say for a flight plan and you can select a height and get the average wind for each leg of the journey

        The average wind (speed? direction?) would be tricky
        if the leg is toooo long.

          @Jamie68 the flight planner plugin calculates the ground speed based on the wind and altitude, and then the time (ETE) for each leg.

            @Gkikas-LGPZ yeah I get that but I would say to just take an average or the mode along the leg, would be more accurate than using the 214 spot chart that has winds for 6 hours over a very large area. Very vague for flying I think
