My question is, what flight planning software do you use?


I find the AOPA planner is easy to use and excellent for basic planning,
and the price is right.

I do my filing and final estimates (the planner printout that goes with
me) on DUATS. I have yet to find an airport where I couldn't access DUATS.

I make up a kneeboard information pack with the DUATS flight planner
output, AOPA airport info (FBO info, etc...), and approach plates and
airort diagram, if available. The planner goes on top, then the plates,
then the diagrams, then the AOPA airport info. At the bottom is anything
related to an alternate destination. I write my clearances and fuel log
right on the flight planner page. With the addition of the appropriate
chart, there's nothing more I need while flying.

I've never seen the need to print and carry weather data, but I do write
the current conditions, NOTAMS, TFR's, and winds aloft info on the back
of my planner printout.
