ItвЂ™sВ designed for airlinerВ crews and for business aviation pilots. PFPX is mainly targeted at IFR, commercial pilots. fuel calculation (based on national or regional rules of pilotвЂ™s choice).EurocontrolвЂ™s CFMU flight plan validation.route planning suggestions (or auto-routing).Precise planning process is behind the documents and I often use the following features: Documents contain:Д«ut it is not only about the documents. The final вЂњproductвЂќ looks exactly as the documents that a real pilot would get before a flight. Virtual pilots and virtual dispatchersВ use it to create a completeВ set of documents for an IFR flight.

#VIRTUAL FLIGHT PLANNER SOFTWARE#

Professional Flight Planner XДЄerosoftвЂ™s PFPX is a flight planning software for flight simulator (FSX, P3D, XPlane) users. And whenever I feel that I can do something better вЂ“ I canВ turn the automation off and make adjustments. I still need to be aware of how the flight plan is created вЂ“ but I can supervise and direct instead of doing the hard labor. It replaces the team of dispatchers who work for an airline and provides me with data and documents necessary for the flight. Often it would take longer than the flight takes.

ToВ create the full flight plan and all necessary documents вЂ“ it would take hours. In real world вЂ“ there is a team of airline professionals who support the pilot in flight planning.В In FSX or P3D вЂ“ I am on my own. It passes over several countries вЂ“ each has itвЂ™s AIP, some have rules different from the other. IВ wasВ unable to spend enough timeВ for flight planning and such unprepared flights did not make much sense for me.Д¬onsider this. With large planesвЂ¦ I felt like I hit the wall. That is one of the reasons I flew airlinersвЂ¦ rarely. I read route descriptions in AIPs and always try toВ prepare my flight plans as if they were real. I am one of those вЂњseriousвЂќ virtual pilots whoВ spend a lot of time planning myВ flights вЂ“ I check currentВ weather, forecasts, NOTAMS. To make this review and description complete, I need to start with a short storyВ of how I plan my flights. It is (again) the added value of PFPX вЂ“ it makes me learn. When I translated this review today вЂ“ I see several mistakes that I made in this flight plan вЂ“ today I would plan such a flight a little differently. PFPX changed this вЂ“ since then I got PMDG 777, 737 and Jetstream and I can say that I enjoy them so much mostly thanks to PFPX thatВ gives me the opportunity to plan my flights properly. A year ago I rarely flew airliners.В I never had time to properly plan a flight and IВ chose easier flights (easier mainly in terms of data collecting). That is the greates value of this software.

#VIRTUAL FLIGHT PLANNER MANUAL#

I see a value in this вЂ“ itвЂ™s impossible to explain all aspects of flight planning in software manual (itвЂ™s not the role of software manual!). Some may say that this is a flaw of PFPX вЂ“ it does not explain everything. I spend hours studying manuals, books and forums (pprune for example) looking for explanations. But I compare my knowledge now with what I knewВ two months ago, when I first started using PFPX and I see how much have I learned. Some values that could be corrected or some errors that I made. вЂњPro pilots whoВ cross the Pond often and who know their 777 will surely find some mistakes in my flight plan. In March 2015 when I wrote this review in Polish I said: PFPX gives me freedom вЂ“В it helps me in what I need, allowing me to take all the tasks that I want to perform myself.

With Professional Flight Planner X I can enjoy a well prepared flight without sacrificing preciousВ time for tedious tasks of collecting and copying data. On the other hand вЂ“В virtual flying is just a hobby of mine вЂ“ I do not have hours to plan every flight, I do not have time to collect NOTAMS and METARS from several sources. For my flights I want to have a serious flight plan that I created, checked and accepted. Try it вЂ“ you will be delighted! What did I gain with PFPX? Actually it made me more interested in flying airliners as it positively transformed the entire experience. For me, PFPX changed the way I plan my flights. If you are up to the job вЂ“ I strongly recommend it. It is up to you if you create great and realistic flight plans with it. It is an amazing tool! But you need to remember that it is just a tool. ItвЂ™s good! Read my review to know how good and why you need it. After two months of learning I am ready to review AerosoftвЂ™s Professional Flight Planner X. Flight planning for (virtual) airline pilots.
