If you create your MSFS flight plans via Navigraph Charts what do you do for the Fuel and Weight and Balance calculations?

Hi…,

Welcome.

You could copy the flight plan text, paste it into SimBrief, and get SimBrief to do the calculations.

Please see [Create flight plan in charts and move flight plan to SimBrief - #6 by Ian](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/create-flight-plan-in-charts-and-move-flight-plan-to-simbrief/13856/6) and [Cut , copy and paste route - #2 by Ian](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/cut-copy-and-paste-route/9976/2) .

Cheers  
Ian

Thanks Ian,  
Then from the Longitude G5000 I would pull the plan from SimBrief , correct?  
If so, do I lose the SID, Star, and Approach I built in Navigraph Charts or do they come into the G5000 automatically?
