Does anyone have any experience with the Golden Eagle FlightPrep
Online version?

Hi Kirk,

I use the free windows client GoldenEagle FlightPrep. I like the lower
display that shows a profile view of route vs airspace, terrain, MEAs
(for IFR flights), wind, and clouds. It was not as good at routing as
the free AOPA tool when faced with high terrain and a maximum altitude
constraint (ie plan a trip from Santa Fe to Sedona and not go above
10,000)

I flew 7000 miles over 52 hours last month in a Piper Arrow and did it
all with free software pretty much in this order for each flight;
- airnav.com for planning fuel stops and opinions on various airports
- and http://www.xcpilot.com/routes/ for searching preferred IFR routes
- AOPA's real time flight planner (free, from Jeppesen) for high
terrain routing
- GoldenEagle for visualizing route vs terrain, airspace, wind, and
clouds
- good ol' www.duats.com for briefings and filing flight plans

After reading you email, I decided to try the online, browser based
version. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my PC... fails with a java
script error: wnd is null or not an object...
