Flight Planning Software VFR EU
 
Hello Everyone,
From your experience which soft works better in the Scandinavia and Baltic's states Skydemon or Rocketroute?
On the top of that I have question:
AOPA is saying that in Europe is ca. 300k pilot licence holders, what percentage of them using SD or RR? I’m just curios.
Cheers,
Peter

Question back, VFR or IFR?

In my vicinity RR is quite commonly used among mainly-IFR pilots, but seldom used for VFR. On the contrast Skydemon/Garmin/Jeppesen MFDVFR/the remains of AirNavigationPro users/&Co are hard to estimate in numbers or percentage. Skydemon seems to be very popular as derived from talking about it, but especially for Scandinavia you may have a look at Jeppesen MFDVFR as well. When I was flying up there, I had both Skydemon and Jeppesen MFDVFR on board, as both have their specific advantages.

Thank you for suggestions. Is going be only VFR so let me try Skydemon for start.

RocketRoute is primarily aimed at IFR use.

But that's currently only got maps for France and the USA.

I have UK maps on my version of FA

I use (as yet) only paper maps plus some homebrew gps software on a Linux netbook. Considering some kind of tablet (Android prime candidate) with FlightAssistant as prime candidate software.

My mistake - apologies, I misread something from the other thread. It is airfield plates for France and US only so far - no doubt that will change.

I hope FA will grow fast to cover more European countries.
btw I ask all main players on the soft market and now one want to share information's about number of users, big secret...
