I have been using several flight planning softwares along 20 years and I would think there would be a classification for them in relation to quality, efficency and price. On my point of view, it should be like this:
Cat 1:
LIDO from LH Germany
Jeppesen from USA
NAV from Nav flight services Czech Republic
EDS from Swisszerland
Cat 2:
Air Data from England
Flugverzeuge from Austria
NavTech from Scandinavia and Canada
Cat 3:
PPS from Denmark
Rocade from Sweden
Sita from England
There are some 4 or 5 more I do not consider due to I do not know them
. All depends what features are you looking for. The point is that normally the national carriers does not have any doubt at the moment to analyse the price, they normally go to Lido or Jeppesen, and I think due to popularity only, since I have been reading that even Jeppesen is having some problems on specific fields
. But who not!! Moreover I saw some good performances and features on the others.
Thanks you.
