Jetplan 23JAN02
Is there anyone out there who is having a interesting time trying o file flight plans via Jetplan??
I've just run a plan and its taken the system nearly a whole 10mins for it to ACK.
Has anyone tried filing via SITA or AFTN. Are they the same??

If you've got acces to Jetplan.com, it's running a bit faster but not sending via Sita etc. BUT, you can still LDR the plan no you run in Jetplan.com on Jetplan interactive and file via AFTN and send via Sita that way - bit of a hassle but better than nothing!!!
When are we getting Sita Graflite ????

I've been using Navtech Aurora and it does a good job, anybody else have good luck with it, besides the auto-fax function (grrrr!)?
My current employer had Jetplan for yrs and it gave them fits.

VIKING9. . . I guess you wouldn’t, but frankly I’d miss the ability to manipulate my own route, store it in my own route catalogue without having to ring someone or send them a telex, select my own preferred alternate and not have to use one that’s stored. I’d also miss pretty quick calculation times and I reckon our crews would certainly miss being out by +/- 1 min on a 10 hour sector. Still, if you’re into pretty pictures, why not try FHM magazine . . .
PS: I’d stick to ‘long boats’ if I were you, you obviously know b*gg*r all about aircraft . . . .

airfixer - all I want is a system that produces the goods when I want it, and at the required specification. I first used Jepps in 1992 and it's been cr@p since then, and it's not user input failure to produce good results. It's not designed for the ad-hoc market in my opinion.
As for not knowing anything about aircraft, well you would be surprised what knowledge I have. You are beginning to sound like Lalapanzi (god help us) <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Viking9. .Although I am not doubting your aviation experience, have you actually had the misfortune to use Graflite, because I find it the most awkard, restrictive system that I have ever used <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Yep, I have used Graflite in it's old form and current and have found it user friendly for flights around Europe aswell as world-wide and for aircraft ranging between Bae146's and B747's. It's a matter of opinion I feel.
Also, talking of Jepps as we were before, how many UK charter airlines (ad-hoc aswell) use Jepps ?? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
