AVPLAN30.ZIP Aviation preflight planning utility
AVPLAN was written to assist the pilot in preflight planning.
From AVPLAN30.DOC:
This program was designed to provide some basic information
for the pilot in his flight planning phase. In talking with
general aviation pilots, I have concluded that many of these
pilots place a limited role on computer flight planners. I too
question the importance of flight planners incorporating every
facet of aircraft performance when calculating flight plan
output. The reality is that flight planners can only provide
predictions. The pilot using this data, must monitor all aspects
of the flight and vary those predictions as required. Variables
such as winds and ATC routing can alter the flight plan data
drastically. With this in mind, I have tried to create a program
that is easy to use and requires a minimal amount of input and
data to provide some basic flight plan predictions. I hope that
you find the program effective in meeting this objective.
Can be installed on hard disk or dual-disk MSDOS system
(mono or graphics).
The program provides a main menu for selection of program
applications. Of these choices, some will provide a sub menu
allowing more specific choices. The main menu choices are as
follows:
[1] Flight Log
[2] Wind Corrections
[3] Weather Calculations
[4] Weight and Balance
[5] Flight Plan
[6] Cost Analysis
[7] Disk Operations
[8] Print Operations
Databases of waypoints for all 50 states is included, and can be
expanded if desired.
