Title: Navigation Flight Planner
Threaded Mode
#1
If you're looking for a good flight planner and excellent flight companion, I highly suggest Little Navmap. Plus it's free / open source! I used it on my last flight Home for the Holidays - what a nifty "little" program it is 8)

Maybe, someday Joe and I can work on integrating this cool map progam into myAAS?

custom online networks centers and clients on map

I kind of like it. Just started playing around with it, so trying to see what it can and can't do, but I definately like the map view for following along with my flight.

Thanks for pointing it out!

Excellent program. Thanks Tom for the link. I cant believe that its free. it works very well for planning flights and following routes published by flightaware. Its especially good for planning flights across the atlantic which FSX was never good at. I use it now for all my flights and highly recommend it.
Thanks
Don Big Grin

I must say for a freebie it pretty good although I have found a few inaccuracies with it compared to Skyvector and the AIP's like missing enroute Navaids and runway information.

For a local jaunt it's fine, long haul not so good. Just my opinion.

Cheers

Rob, yes it does use simulator data if you want it to, but did you know that you could load navdata into it (if you have subscription or even an older AIRAC)?

Thanks, no I didn't know that.

I am not knocking it, I use it occasionally myself for a reference check, I just prefer Sky Vector and AIP for flight planning.

To each his own, just enjoy the hobby is the main thing.

Cheers

Oh yes, SkyVector is excellent as well - when I plan airliner flights I use SkyVector; it allows you to retrieve popular flight plans used by airlines and/or GA pilots, very powerful! And the maps are useful too, being aviation maps! I'll need to check out AIP.

Yes Tom, the AIP's are excellent as they are for real world, many are Jeppeson or the countries goverment charts.

Down under where I live the Australian and New Zealand AIP's come in one bundle for every airport so you jus have to click on the alphabetical listing for your airport information.

Alternately you can just put in the airport four letter code and add the word charts e.g. YBBN Charts or KJFK charts.

Have fun looking and planning.

Regards
Rob
