EFB is saving the last position of the aircraft when you exit EFB. If the aircraft is airborne, the Company Routes tab as well as the Internet tab is greyed out per design. The term PPOS means 'Present position' which is always preset when the aircraft is airborne.
Best practice is to always land your aircraft before you exit EFB. If you land your aircraft, the flight plan will be automatically removed upon touch down plus some seconds.
Hi. First of all - I wanted to say I am really enjoying EFB v2 after recently upgrading from v1. It's a wonderful product.
On the above point - I completely understand that it is best practice to land your aircraft before exiting EFB, but that's not always practical. I tend to fly on Vatsim and choose the airports based on available ATC. Very often, the destination airport is unstaffed by the time I'm en route. In addition, I often don't have a lot of time for flights, so often have to save them after takeoff to resume some time later. This means I save a lot of flights; and resume a lot of saved flights (in a different order based on ATC etc). Whereas the process for resuming flights in EFB v1 was relatively easy - you just import the flight plan file; this option is not available in v2. As you say, you have to copy and paste the flight plan and add the departure and arrival airports. I appreciate it's not hugely demanding, but it is more fiddly and time consuming than v1. If there was an option to use the Company Routes at any stage of flight, this would be hugely helpful. Maybe something that could be considered for the future?
Thank you.
