Hi Mark,

No there’s no shipping costs, it’s just an electronic download.

There’s no reason it shouldn’t work worldwide. Just enter your waypoints using North and East as positive.

Steve.

Distance unit is nautical miles, and speed unit is knots – ie nautical miles per hour. Standard in the UK and USA etc.

However, on the “lite” version it shouldn’t make any difference what units you use. So long as you are consistent, the answer that comes out will be in the same units as the values you entered.

The “pro” version calculates distances in nautical miles, but I can easily change that to work in kilometres if you would prefer.

Hi Steve,
just made some calculations…so the question which units are you using? We in GY are thinking mostly in meter/km etc.

Hi John,

Thanks for your comments.

The “lite” version of the flight planner allows you to manually enter track and distance.

The “pro” version uses waypoints and calculates track and distance for your automatically.

Let me know if you have any problems.

Hi.

This is a great tool you’ve got there. Would it be a possibility to enter manually True Track and distance and to have it calculate TH (plus Var/Dev to create MC) from the wind speed?

Hi Jim,

The numbers don’t appear on each line of the flight plan until you’ve entered something in the “From” box. This is to reduce visual clutter when not every line of the flight plan is used. Type something into cell A4 and the second line will be activated, and so on.

Easiest way to enter an East variation is to just enter a negative number. So for example +3 degrees East is the same as -3 degrees West.

Hope that helps! I did try and email you to offer help but you didn’t enter a valid email address.

Steve.
