Flight Plan is another VFR flight planning tool to be added to the growing number of Pilot-related applications available for the EPOC platform.
The software doesn't deviate from the normal process of VFR flight planning. Using an editable database of both aircraft and waypoint data, each leg is planned and calculations are performed for true track, magnetic heading, variation, deviation and wind velocity. Let's not forget IAS and TAS too! Radio frequencies for each leg can also be recorded depending on which ATC you may be required to speak with.
As a private pilot myself, I have tested many of these types of applications. I personally found Flight Plan to be one of the easiest to use, with some nice shortcuts to calculations such as a crosswind component, takeoff distances and so on. One of the nicest features is the ability to print in A5 format -- ideal for the majority of Kneeboards used in light aircraft.
Additional features include:
Plan up to 15 legs plus one alternate leg for diversions
Plan legs manually or use the waypoints database
Various tools enable you to check endurance, weight, balance and takeoff distance
Switch easily between various units of conversion
Print in A5 format
Note: Fully compatible with Revo, Revo Plus, Diamond Mako, Series 5mx, Ericsson MC218, Series 7  |  |
