Thanks for all your replies! I myself use charts, and an excel
spreadsheet for the navigation log. I've checked out a few flight
planning software, but they all seemed pricey. Aeroplanner seems to be a
good alternative, so does Copilot. Of course, it's great to blow the
dust off the E-6B once in a while!

One of my friends just got into flying. I took him to the neighborhood
pilot shop (@ PAO), and oriented him with the things he might need,
including the E-6B. It sure was an interesting experience, and one that
brought back memories of my own training. 4 years is sure a long time!

Hi,

I was wondering about the following:

1) how many people actually use any kind of flight planning software
(VFR and IFR)?
2) If you do use it, which one do you use?
3) how would you rate it?

Thanks!
