Default AOPA or Golden Eagle... or what?

AOPA is free with membership.


Yeah, GoldenEagle is free too... without membership..

The AOPA app doesn't let me directly edit fuel on board, # on board,
etc.


Yeah, that's a real drawback.. you should be able to change the fuel,
altitudes and PAX in real time like a spreadsheet, without reloading. I'd
also like to see a bit more information displayed on their Nav Log, like
airport frequencies, field elevations etc.

I just downloaded GoldenEagle and I guess I'll just install it and have a
look. A couple of advantages it has that look interesting:
Weather Overlay
VFR Relief Charts
current TFRs

If they could merge the program's interface with the ADDS Flight Path
Tool's weather, then they'd really have something.
