I fly the FAI P sequence on Saturday and the FAI F on Sunday. It could be
3 or 4 flights on Saturday and 1 or 2 on Sunday, but usually 2. I don’t
weigh one more than the other, they count equally. Hope that helps some.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

of this update drastically changes the way Schedules are defined and used. The
change will result in the system being able to support schedules for multiple

Import from an external sequential file, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
