I'm looking for a simple flight planning program or link to do some
long
cross country, short leg vfr flying. Something simple, without
weight and
balance computation or having to put in fuel burn and power setting.
Don't
need any graphics. Just a flight log type that uses an airport
database.
There was once an online flight planner that would produce a
cross-country
log with route, heading, and airports just by putting in maximum
legs,
average airspeed, and max altitude. It would compute the route
making
allowances or detours for moa and longest legs for fuel stops. This
was
great for planning an ultralight type cross-country. It wouldn't
tilt if
you didn't put in all the info. It would work with the info you put
in, if
it was enough.
I think the online site went commercial or to a commercial program.
I would
buy it if I could find it.
I know this has been asked before, but a Google search did not
produce the
answer I was looking for.
I know how to plan without it. It would be a convenience tool to get
started planning. The reason I mention this is that some of these
type
questions got to be 100 plus answers on how to plan a flight, all of
which
had nothing to do with the topic.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Marc
