Flight planning

[Guest]

I just saw that Nav Monster is back up and running again.  It's been down for years.

Oh? I never used it. Is it good?

Love NavMonster! So glad to have it back. I hear they have an app now, I used to just keep the website flagged on my phone.

Depends for what, NavMonster's focus has always been presentation of weather information, much less about navigation. From first look, still is. So, it does not have all the routing bells and whistles we've come to expect like rubberbanding and preferred/common IFR routing. But if you know what your course will be and put it in, you will get a good briefing, well formatted.

Whether that's enough given all the other things that have become available since they were forced out of business, I guess we'll see.

 Gallons carried divided by fuel burn, plus a reserve. That's simple planning, add a WX check too.
