This is good news from pilots-on-a-budget like myself who utilizes
AOPA's planning tool. What a relief.

The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) announced the launch
of a new online flight planner on Wednesday. The customized version of
the iFlightPlanner platform is intended to replace the AOPA’s previous
online flight planning tool, which is being retired at the end of the
month. iFlightPlanner features include a Google Maps interface with U.S.
aviation charts, stored routes, custom waypoints, altitude comparison,
certified weather briefings and flight plan filing. It also offers
overlays such as weather, current fuel prices, TFRs and special use
airspace.

“From day one, iFlightPlanner’s evolution has been driven by member
feedback and this new version will be no different,� said iFlightPlanner
Director of Business Development Andy Matthews. “We encourage AOPA
members to share their feedback as they begin using the new planner and
help shape new features to further enhance every member’s flight
planning experience.�

According to AOPA, stored flight plans and profiles set up through the
previous planner prior to April 22, 2020, will be pre-loaded into
iFlightPlanner. The planner is accessible through desktop web browsers,
tablets and mobile devices. It is available for free to AOPA members.
