Flight Planning Software
Does anybody know where I could get a flight planning program that will operate on Linux. To be used in North America. I want to use it in an Eee PC by Asus.

AOPA's flight planner run's fine on Wine, the older non-web one.
All the web based places should work great too: http://runwayfinder.com, http://aopa.org, http://weather.aero, http://vansairforce.net/weather.htm, etc.
Yea for Linux!

I thought of this and can't check because I don't have Linux but according to AOPA:
"Supported OS:
Windows; Mac
Supported Browsers:
IE 6+; Firefox 2+; Safari 3+"
So I don't think it is likely that will work at present. Or does LINUX have one of those browsers?

I am not a member of AOPA and not a computer guru. I know that windows based stuff won't work. I was looking for something that is not necessarily web based. There isn't always the web available. Thanks

Well, a quick Google search only turned up fplan, which doesn't sound particularly friendly to use. If it were me, I'd see if I could make the web browser version work for me or try to use Wine and a Windoze-based flight planner.

Firefox on Linux
Firefox is commonly available on Linux distros.

Entirely web based, totally free. Has weather, radar, etc and winds aloft matrix.
Just FYI.

Thanks for all of your responses. I really need to find something that will work with Linux and not Web based. Windows is not an option for me on this computer. It takes up to much overhead leaving next to nothing to operate with.

You might try xfplan, the GUI version of the fplan, which was mentioned earlier.
Flyway also is an option. |
