Just got off the phone with a fellow pilot who post here now and then. He told me of a flight planning site that is based on the runway finder site but is reall enhanced. Gives weather and notams also.

Looks good to me

That is my light home. You can add intermediate apt and it aslo shows winds aloft. WOW

Anybody else use this. Any better.

I do like the plain english and will probably take Weed California off as the destination.

Nice, fast flight planner qmdv! I added it to my favorites list for use! Thanks!

It is a great site, easy to use, have been using it for a year or so.

You haven't shared it of I missed your post. I have been strugling for the last year on account of you

Just kidding, but anybody out there that has somtning neet, share it (girlfriends and guns excluded)

Tim

Tim,

I saw your ride over at Spanish Fark yesterday morning. I got up early to enjoy the sunrise ans calm winds.

Thanks for the flight planner!

I've used Navmonster for some time now as well. Also, AOPA has a pretty good flight planner, which has similar capabilities. The first couple versions weren't all that great, but the latest version is pretty nice.

The only down side to these things is my students find out about them pretty fast, and all ACTUAL flight planning practice goes right out the window henceforth.

Those dang students! Always looking for a better, easier way! Computer flight planning, GPS, led lights, Pilot-my-cast, etc.!

Yep, unfortunately, however, the FAA has not yet seen fit to permit the use of such flight planners during the knowledge exams....

I've been using fltplan.com for a long time now, really great tool, the vfr sectional will even overlay radar and show TFRs.


I used it a few times on check rides, if memory serves I brought in the standard jep nav log as well asI a navlog/route wx/NOTAMS/winds aloft print up from fltplan.
