Hello SERV'ers.

  

 Would you mind participating in a simple little  survey? 

  

 What Flight Planning program do you use? Or, which  is your favorite?

  

 How much do you pay for it?

I don't fly as much as most of you, but when I rent, I use AOPA... free except for membership which I'd pay anyway.

Dale,

  

 I use GTE Duats, works great, and registers your  session with the FAA by N-Number.

Frankly, I use a mish-mash….  

   

Most of the time I check…  

-  The FAA TFR site  

- http://adds.aviationweather.gov to get the weather  

- intellicast to track the T’storms or to get a long range forecast  

   

If I am filing or headed a long distance…  

- DUATS (the free version) to get an official brief, get NOTAMs and file IFR plans  

- AOPA site if I am headed north IFR to get the preferred routes  

- FSS when filing into the ADIZ

Two opions here. If you want the best pure flight  planning program out there, I like Flightsoft from RMS Technologies. (www.rmstek.com) It it a subscription  service that you can jump into at about three or four different levels of  service, so pick your price range. As far as freebies go, www.fltplan.com has everybody else beat hands  down. Look at both sites and see which fits your needs best.

www.FltPlan.com   files  automatically, great weather, holds several aircraft, gives nav plan, charts,  approaches, fuel consumption, etc.   All the charter guys around here  use it and it's free.

SERVers

  

 Thank you to all the people who responded to my  little survey on Flight Planning. It was enlightening as I was made aware of a  couple of programs that I did not know about. 

 I have been using the AOPA program for the last  couple of years and DUATS before that.

  

 User Results: AOPA  8  reponses;  EAA  2;    fltplan.com   4;    DUATS  2;    Golden Eagle  1;   Flightsoft  1.

  

 Weathermeister and weather.aero were each indicated  by one person each as a weather source for info in addtion to the flight  planning.

  

 Regards,

 Dale Ensing
