Gilt Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 FltPlan.com Works well for me, any one else use this site? Quote
flhelo Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 I do and it does pretty well. Sometimes the Winds aloft are not accurate. But then again, when are they. Quote
Wistarmo Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 I use it for nearly everything and have been extremely pleased. It does far more than just allow you to file flight plans. The more you look into it, the more it will do for you. You can set it up to send text messages to your cell phone to 1) confirm your flight plan is in the system, 2) tell you what route you should expect for a clearance, and 3) if there are any FTC traffic delays. It will store all of your aircraft parameters for future flight planning purposes. It provides flight tracking. You can set it up to send a fax to your arrival FBO to let them know of your needs, such as fueling, hangar, or rental cars. You can check FBO fuel prices and get a full weather analysis. If you want to impress your passengers, it will allow you to print a flight briefing for them showing the route, arrival FBO telephone numbers and weather forecasts. All of this is free. If you are an AOPA member, you can get their Airport Directory for free. If you combine this with SkyCharts, which costs around $20.00 per year, you have pretty much everything you could possibly need for IFR flight planning. You can pay around $200.00 a year to have them do all of your EAPIS work, but I do that myself. Quote
