View Full Version : Flightmaster Psion Handheld flight computer


May 13th 05, 11:11 PM
I have a complete Flightmaster Psion handheld computer with the
carrying case and the thermal printer with cables.

Pete McMaster used to support the database updates. Are they still
available?

I may be selling it on eBay. Any idea as to what it migh be worth? It
works perfectly, as far as I can tell.

Thanks,

Flightmasters were really cool ten years ago when they were new. I
don't know if it's worth anything now. Does anybody know of a
similarly good IFR planner than runs on modern handhelds?

Purely out of curiosity (I'm not flying just yet !), I checked out the
viability of my cell phone / PDA. It has Bluetooth, so a suitable GPS
receiver (say, Leadtex Xtrac II), is all that is needed. Plus some
remarkably inexpensive software :-

some remarkably expensive :-

I did see an ad for some German software (maybe Euro plates only?), which
cost the equivalent of $1500, but it looked awesome. Fully interfaced with a
PDA. I've lost the damn URL.

Here's a good one, the one I use on my PDA. So good I sold my Garmin
handheld.

Flightmaster is NOT a navigation device. It's a rather nice flight
planning software.
