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.
