• As a professional I wouldn't use this software

  LearPilot_TEBDecember 16, 2010

  Pros

  May work ok for someone that flies for a hobby.

  Cons

  I thought the software was outdated and the logic behind its function was not intuitive for professional pilots.

  Summary

  I didn't feel like the pilots needs were put first in the production of this product

• Don't Waste Your Time!

  sonofjuneDecember 14, 2010

  Pros

  The layout is visually attractive and offers lots of information

  Cons

  Customer support is abysmal. Program crashes my PC and forces a "hard" reboot. Many other more attractive and functional programs on the market

  Summary

  Like most "free" software available on the market, this product is really a "teaser" for all of the other products Flight Prep sells. Expect to be "up sold" after you register.

• knots better than the pack...

  dirtlanderDecember 16, 2009

  Pros

  With Eagle I can throw together an abundance of flight plans, compare the results, pick the best and run the final out in less time than one half-conceived plan on any of the dozen other planners I've tried. Accessing DUATS from inside is frosting.

  Cons

  I fly South, particularly Mexico. It would be advantageous for the user to be able to put airports directly into the database. I'm backwards: I like to see how far I've gone. Give me control of the output format and I'll buy the "Pro" version.

  Summary

  I've used this product for the last couple of years and I wonder why they hid it at the bottom of the DUATS screen amongst the disclaimers and the Lawyer's Chorus where it took me 2,000 hours to find it. It's fast. Intuitive. Responsive zoom control. Intelligent auto-routing. Independent legs and waypoints modifiable on-the-fly. Flexible, responsive rubber-banding. Winds, METARs, TAFs at your fingertips. DUATS faster than you can find the Bookmark. The first profile view I've seen and with MEAs, Class B airspace, winds aloft arrows, clouds and terrain all laid out in instant recognizability. But the best part, nothing handy is more than two-clicks deep. And it has all this portability, connectivity and interface that I haven't even begun to explore.

• safe or something more?

  TonyGuacamoleDecember 7, 2009

  Pros

  Sounds like a great piece of software

  Cons

  My firewall scanned it as containing malicious code, said it changes files. could just be recognizing that the program accesses other servers to obtain data for the planning software. My antivirus scan didn't find it dangerous

  Summary

  Anyone else have any problems or suspect it contains malware? I am afraid to open it.
