... He also asked how many people use flight planning software. Negative responses provide information to that part of the request. No they don't. That's like saying "how many apples are in that bowl", and thinking that being told how many apples aren't in that bowl somehow answers the question. Unless you have a 100% response rate from all pilots AND know exactly how many pilots you're talking about, negative answers do nothing to answer the question. Pete

Well, but this calculation by hand (which is not 100%) is all the
indication I need! :-) Your statement, that you don't use any flight planning software, but just by hand (I'm assuming you still use an E6B), is just as valuable to me. I was looking for both positives and negatives. Thanks for the replies, Sridhar Peter Duniho wrote: "Bob Noel" wrote in message ... He also asked how many people use flight planning software.

I was looking for both positives and negatives. OK... here's another "all-manual" flightplanner! Unless you count the basic calculator I keep handy, it's all whizz-wheel E6B, paper, pencil & sectional for me... I like Post-It notes for planning; I've gotten into the habit of putting CFS information onto a PostIt for each airport I'm going to, and sticking the PostIt to the chart near the appropriate airport. Likewise distance/time/fuel for each leg, sometimes. Brian - PP-ASEL/Night - Thanks for the replies, Sridhar Peter Duniho wrote: "Bob Noel" wrote in message ...
