 |
|
I just got a note from the Aeroplanner folks that they are terminating their relationship with EAA.
EAA members currently using the Aeroplanner services free through EAA will need to pay for a membership to continue.
I'm trying to put together a list of alternative sites that provide a similar service.
So far (free):
AOPA
iflightplanner
runwayfinder
So far (pay):
Aeroplanner
FlightPrep
Anyone else know of any? I used Aeroplanner the other day (still free) and filed VFR, flew etc. Great experience - gonna miss it!

I saw the notice from Aeroplanner this morning. I'm more than a little disappointed that EAA did not sent out a notice. After all they are taking away a "benefit" of membership. If they are replacing it with something else (yea, right) then it would be nice to know. I only did look-ups and advance planning in Aeroplanner but I guess I'll switch to AOPA for that.

Flight Prep has a free version called Golden Eagle. Free download:
http://www.flightprep.com/rootpage.php?page=gefp_dl_pgmdata
I've been using it for years and it works just fine. You can plan a flight and it will make up a trip log and print out strip maps, if you like. Enter your DUATS account info and you can download a briefing and file a flight plan. Weather charts can be downloaded. You can display Nexrad overlaid on your route of flight. It's got a lot of utility for no money out.

Yeah, but they were the ones who started the patent lawsuit last year, so I wouldn't use their software if they gave out $50 for you to try it.

I use www.fltplan.com for creating, filing, and saving flight plans, after using skyvector.com to rough out the route (and check weather) and airnav.com to refine where I stop for lowest price gas and call aprt managers to avoid surprises. They are all free. Never heard of the other products mentioned in this thread.
