So do you at least use real, printed to the proper scale, TAC's, Sectionals,
and WAC's?


I look at them online. They are direct scans from paper, right down to the
halftone screens.


Looking at a not-to-scale scan of a chart on a computer screen is not
preparing a flight plan by any stretch of the imagination.

Go to
http://www.dauntless-soft.com/produc...FlightPlanner/ and
will find 3 versions of a flight planner form in PDF.

Download any version you want and print it out.

Once you have filled one completely out, you have prepared a flight plan.

And if you did us a flight planner, you would understand why your babbling
about looking up navaid frequencies is babble.


Nothing obligates me to use a flight planner. Pilots have been flying for a
hundred years without one.


No one said anything about you being obligated to use a flight planner,
and no one is.

What was said is that if you did, you would understand why your babbling
about looking up navaid frequencies is babble.

The relative scale is preserved on the screen, although I don't actually
measure anything on the screen.

There's no point in me filling out a form on paper, or even filling it out
online, as there's nowhere to send it.

I know what official flight plans are supposed to look like. I have no use for
them in simulation, though. I do, however, file online flight plans when I'm
flying online.

Then you are not doing flight planning.

Babble.

You print out the form, fill it out, usually in pencil, put it on your knee
board, carry it with you while you fly, and make entries on it while you fly.

The making entries while you fly part is one of the things the other person
was alluding to when he said the flight planning ends when the engine is
shut down.

Your idiotic comments just further prove you haven't the slightest clue
what the terms "flight planning" and "flight planner" mean.
