+**Verification and Flight Plan Summary**
+After all waypoints have been added, step through the legs on the flight plan page with the PREV and NEXT buttons. Check that there are no gaps in the flight plan and that the route is indeed the flight plan that was filed.
+At the end of the flight plan pressing the NEXT button will show the flight plan summary. Here you could enter an expected cruise speed (TAS), expected average fuel flow (FF), fuel reserves and the expected time of departure (ETD). (Some of this may not be simulated at this time).
+**Note** - Editing the flight plan like this is optional and always will be. You can always go back to the navigation menu and change the flight plan from there.
