Flight Planning Software - Some Conclusions
My thanks to everyone who has contributed answers to my original query. I draw three conclusions:
1. There are several adequate software packages out there, and everyone seems happy with whichever one they have settled on. Although it's clearly 'horses for courses', none seems outstandingly better, or worse, than any other. Encouragingly, not one of the best-known packages has been criticised as being poor.
2. Of them all, SkyDemon seems to have a smart marketing strategy by giving unrestricted use of a 'Lite' version absolutely free (others allow free trials of the full product, but for only a limited period).
3. My most important conclusion is what a great resource this forum is, and what a friendly bunch the contributors are. I don't see any other way I could have garnered the quantity, and quality, of views that have appeared here in just a few days.
