Jim,
Thanks for the link. That looks to be a lot less costly. I have to do Jepp
due to the Garmin 480 card, and decided I would stay w/ that format over the
DOD stuff. My "nav data" flash drive for the Garmin as a subscription for
the whole US and runs about $350 a yr. Then the flight planning program and
its online loaded maps and charts is another $1000.
I need some time in the airplane to sort out all these aspects of having my
own airplane now. This learning curve stuff never seems to end!!
Terry

Hi, Terry,
I use FliteStar as well (though it pained me to enrich Jeppesen a single
additional nickel). As I recall, I started with a Bonanza and modified a
few numbers that I thought fit a little better, but the B will be close. I
FliteStar for flight planning, especially the visual representation of the
winds on the flight profile (at the bottom of the map) for picking altitudes
but the weathermeister.com <http://weathermeister.com/> is still tops for
briefing.

I recently bought FliteStar which is a Jepp software tool that you can
flight plan with. It has a drop down selection of 50 aircraft but not ours.
Does anybody use this program? ...and what is a good match for the use
with the Velocity XLRG with a 300 hp Lycoming in it?
Thanks,
Terry
