I pretty sure Voyager just translates and sends through the normal DUAT
services (either). The program supposedly translates the times to GMT, since
the printout looks like a normal flight plan.


Thinking about it, it seems like the Voyager plans are hit or miss, while
I've never had a problem with the Jepp program.


Actually, I have had problems with FliteStar in the past, but it was
several years ago. I asked Oakland tower about it and they mumbled
something about how if you file through DUATS it goes through some kind
of central processing system and it is very hard to modify (easier to
just file a whole new flight plan) and sometimes they don't get it at
all. Whereas, if you file locally they have access to the whole thing.
I cannot say that I understood the explanation.

Now that things are getting a little more settled and I have time to
shop for a plane (I am thinking a new Skyhawk) I am going to have to
consider my flight planning options. FliteStar won't run on OS X or
Vista, so I would have to use an old computer. Jeppesen seems to have a
hard time keeping up with the technology.
