Don't confuse me with someone who knows a lot about such things, but I think that DUATS is available free to United States pilots and student pilots regardless of EAA status.
With regard to Charlie's gracious offer to lead a discussion on flight planning, if Kevin is able to accommodate it, I think it's a good idea.? Thanks Charlie and thanks Linda for your contribution to the fly in. Cheers, Bill Bert said: The very best flight planning for the money is using your EAA membership to get the DUATS?Golden Eagle program.? It is the very best 'free'??flight planning package available.? It is exceptional?software with to many features to list.? Rubber banding, down loadable to your GPS, muti-chart options, and strip maps just?to name a very few.? Even if you do not belong to EAA, you can down load and use the system for $49 a year, as I recall.? There are more expensive super advanced versions for commercial pilots flying mostly?IFR.? But the advanced systems?are really not worth all that much for casual and VFR operation. Charlie said: I've thought this would be a great topic to present a session at Middletown, OH National Ercoupe Fly-in this June. Does it seem like a good topic? I could do it with my laptop.
