Have spent some time searching for software that will cover my needs as a small commercial pilot helicopter operator (5ft 10.5") - There's some great software out there for the bigger establishments - along with the bigger price tags.
Was mulling this over with one of our groups' computer wizards when he said that he could write a program for me - however, if there was a demand for it, then obviously the cost could be spread out.

Firstly - Have I missed a piece of software aimed at the operator of a couple of aircraft (helo or fixed-wing) that encompasses ops/planning/finance aspects?

Secondly - Would you be interested in such software and what would you like to be included?

I realise that there are some great programs out there that cover the individual aspects of commercial ops etc but that's not what I'm after and, quite honestly, will just soldier on with my homemade excel-based solutions until a bespoke solution is available.

Have you tried PPS from Air Support of Denmark. I found it very good as it includes quoting, weather routing and particularly the cheapest routing depending on winds.

I am not associated with them but it might suit your needs.

Thanks for the feedback - unfortunately PPS only works if you're using runways!!
Now if it could be adapted for a selection of methods:

Nearest Town or
Lat/long or
Post code

then it could prove useful

This Guy tailors the Software to a certain extend...just tell him what you need...You can put your own airports in, and there is a nearest town search function
