Flight plans (created with this release or later) can be edited (if not yet assigned to a flight log) or "cloned" to create a new flight plan of similar characteristics. Once a flight plan has been assigned to a flight log, you can no longer edit, but you can add notes which will be appended to the flight plan document.
