Hi all,
I’m a PPL (A) who’s currently working on an MSc Computer Science Dissertation, focusing on the usefulness, relevance and effectiveness of online pre-flight planning tools to Private Pilots.
Therefore I’d be really interested to hear your views on this subject, in particular any sites you recommend, facilities you like about them, and how they help you with your flight planning tasks.
I’d also be interested to hear your views on how you feel they could be improved, and what new features you’d like to see implemented in the future.
All contributions will be treated in the strictest confidence and thus all comments will be unidentifiable.
Thank you all for your help.

Preflight planning consists of three or four basic tasks
Planning the route
Checking the met
Checking the Notam
Filing any necessary paperwork: Flight plan, Customs, Special Branch, GAR
If you are looking for best practice I’d guess Olivia is just about it.
Oh for a UK versions that was as good.
Virtually all my route planning is done offline with Navbox Pro. The ability to drag routes around on the map. Plan a load of alternatives and then squirt them straight into a portable GPS makes it indispensable for me.
