FliteStar IFR ...pricy...worth it!

Jepp's Internet FlightPlanner has gotten some good reviews; look for a
review Marco Leon did back a couple months ago here in RAP. An added bonus
is a years membership in AOPA or a year extension if you're already a
member.

If money is not a concern then I agree with Matt, Flitestar is probably the
best--especially if software performance is what's driving you to change
from Aeroplanner. If you want to keep the bills low, check out Jepp's
Internet Flight Planner because like I posted earlier, it has most of the
features of Flitestar with the biggest difference being that you can't use
it on a laptop in flight.

I like the features of Seattle Avionics Voyager but the software performance
is dismal and the printed maps useless. Jepp seems to have the vector
graphics running smoothly with just the right amount of info displayed in
both viewing on-screen and printed on the trip kit. I've been using JIFP now
for a few months and use it for quick "back-of-the-napkin" flight plan
checks (used to use DUATs for this) and for actual use in flight. I wish I
had Flitestar so I can replan with the actual clearance I get but I don't
fly enough to justify it.

Jepp has the most experience with flight planning and it shows.
