So before I make this a "wish list" item, perhaps it's doable and I just don't know it. Is there a way to call up my last flight brief after I close the Flight Briefing box? ("Browse Filing History" doesn't do what I expected it to do.)

In the old days I used to write down as much as I could from the briefer. Nowadays I figure it's already written down for me so I don't make paper notes while reading my iFly Briefing. (E.g., arcane NOTAMS, like some diameter circle from rho/theta from a VOR for parachute jumping.) But after I've closed the Flight Briefing box, it seems the only way to view the data again is to get another briefing. Which, without wi-fi in flight, is not possible.

I suppose I could take screen shots of every expandable element to review them in flight. But it seems that, when off-line, the app should allow me to pull up my last briefing. (Perhaps in blue text if we need to show it's old data? Or reverse video. Or blue background?)

Mike,

So, when you get a briefing, then file the plan. You can come back to the plan later and view the last briefing. You don't have to activate the plan, just file it. It can also be easily cancelled.

If the plan is not filed then we are trying to pull a current briefing. You can even get the briefing, file plan, and comeback and either view that briefing or refresh to get an updated briefing. Seems to do what you are asking. We'd just want to be careful bringing you back to an old briefing for a non-filed plan. Hope this helps.
