REFLECTOR: FliteStar

[Chuck Jensen]

Terry,
 
Give Air Charts, www. <http://www.airchart.com> airchart.com, a real close look.  About 1/2 the cost of Jeppesen and very useable, convenient format.  The approach plate updates won't drive you crazy either.  Recommended.

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

Get Flightsoft, long time program with very good support.  real time weather, and a ton of other features.

 

I've used it for almost 20 years.

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
