"GEFP is my 1st go to step after I get a flight call."
Version: Golden Eagle FlightPrep 5.0.8
Pros
Since it is part of DUATS the wx reporting is great. I like the ability of the flight reports and use them every flight. Additionally the color coded wx indicators show frontal
movements and other wx tendencies more quickly.Cons
The only complaint I have is when using the wx overlay on the map it obscures the
ground points. But so does ADDS.Summary
I take my lap top with me and will us GEFP usually as the final go/no go call in
questionable situations. -
"Valid for USA only"
Version: Golden Eagle FlightPrep 4.6.4
Pros
It's useful, it's comprehensive, it's free.
Cons
As usual in so many cases, it is assumed that the US is the world -- there is not a single line about the software being for US navigation only.

"Excellent flight planner for any pilot."
Version: Golden Eagle FlightPrep 2007
Pros
A solid flight planner that incorporates all the basic functions a pilot needs and adds the ability to overlay weather, TFRs, and more. You can even purchase Sectionals, TACs, Enroute, and Approach Plates!
Cons
Golden Eagle has a little bit of an old school feel to the user interface. But if you're a long time Windows user you might feel right at home ;-)
Summary
Golden Eagle is an excellent product. Tons of features for FREE, a price you can't beat. Navigation information is always kept current through the application. Weather and TFRs can be downloaded and overlayed right on the chart making it easy to see where problems in the flight plan might be. And when you're ready to fly, you can file your flight plan with DUATS from inside the program. It's too easy.
