Fast online flight planner

[drauk]

I have put together a free online flight planner which GA pilots migh
find useful: 'fly.dsc.net' (http://fly.dsc.net).

It's somewhat unusual in that it instead of using a database of onl
aviation waypoints you can plan using any place as a waypoint. Thi
means it is good if you want to fly to a small town or city and yo
don't know which is the closest airfield. Similarly if you want to se
a METAR or a TAF but you don't know which is the closest reportin
station.

Most of all it is meant to be super-fast and easy to use.

Whilst this was built from a UK pilot's perspective, it does have
global database, so my question is, is it useful to US pilots? Give
that US pilots already have a wide-range of systems from which to use
does this add anything? I am pretty confident it is faster than thing
like aeroplanner, but then it is much less functional. It i
deliberately non-graphical to allow access using mobile data solution
(e.g. cellphone & laptop)

Wow, you must really love flying and programming! I just tried it with
my cell phone and it's fast enough to be useful. There are two browsers
on my phone, Eudora which is text only and the Kyocera web software
which offers more features. I prefer Euodora because it's faster. On
your site, I need to use the kyocera software. Eudora doesn't show the
drop-down for country selection. I like the ability to get weather
quickly. It's also nice to be able to find airfields nearby. I know I
can do these things at aeroplanner, aopa, etc. but not from my phone.
I can also access duats from my phone but it dumps so much garbage text
that has no value, it's not practicle.

Keep up the good work.
