Description : Xwindows general aviation flight planner
The xfplan application is designed to assist general aviation pilots
in creating flight plans for cross country flights in powered aircraft.
It provides an interactive map, flight planning worksheet, and standard
FAA flightplan form. It performs standard calculations involving
a description of the flight; departure and destination airports,
navigation aids, intermediate waypoints, winds aloft, fuel consumption
rates, and produces a flight plan including; wind corrected magnetic
headings, distance, estimated time and fuel consumption for each leg;
latitude, longitude and VOR fixes for each checkpoint, etc.
This program is to be used for preliminary flight planning only. It is
not to be used as an official source of navigation information. The
database it uses is not guaranteed to be accurate or current. Also,
the program itself is likely to still contain some bugs and is not
intended to be a substitute for official flight planning information.
