Flight Planning

Does anyone know an easy tool for flightplanning?
I need to know distance from Ato B,
Fuel burn in still air on different aircraft types i.e. cessna jets , challanger gulfstreams and so on.

I know there is programs out there that does the job, but I do not know where I can find it.
Thank you

That was blatant advertising and is not allowed. The link is now removed!

But aircraft weights etc, of the same aircraft type may be different.

If you just get some charts and a centimetre ruler, if an aircraft cruises at, let us say, 420 knots then it cruises at 7 nautical miles per minute. Airways charts have the point to point distances on, the rest can be calculated with the ruler and an appropriate 'add on' for taxi out, taxi in, climb and decent.

A computer cannot guess which SID or STAR will be allocated thus the old-fashioned way is just as good.

dot CZ ?? think since he asked question in English this would mean he's looking for advice in English, I'm guessing Czech won't help.

Luckily the Czech guys at nav.cz can write in English pretty well and have kindly provided an English version on their website...
