Hi RV friends,

A little while ago I found a link to a very nifty flight planner. This planner not only gives you a the usual (ETA, ETE ect) but also suggest routing for cheapest gas. Could anybody give me that link?

EAA member benefit

More features and free if you go in through the EAA web site.

I like it much more than the AOPA one...

Oops

Sorry, I read the Flight Planner bit and not the fuel bit...

I actually use both together.. Airnav for fuel, and then details, maps, flight log, etc. on the EAA one...

Many good but my favorite

My favorite, free, is Golden Eagle Basic from DUATS. It will compute fuel burn based on your profile that you put in. Must be installed (current version) on a PC. Many nice features and data is current, TFR's and WX included.

Duats for US only?

I thought that one need to have a US pilot licence to access DUATS?

That may be true. Mine is U.S. Don't know. Anyhow, you can download it from the internet and I don't think the license is an issue. If that doesn't work, send me an address and I'll send you a CD.

(I assume you meant "fuel") In terms of the information related to fuel, it calculates total fuel and fuel for climb/cruise/descent, for all "applicable" altitudes. It highlights the best altitude(s) for economy and speed. The calculations are based on your aircraft profile (entered by you) and forecast winds aloft. As for fuel pricing and stop planning, it interfaces with AirNav.
