How do you guys plan for your flights? After you select your bids or select your open board flight, then what? Please take me step by step through your routine :D

Joe,

I would give you an answer here, but to tell the truth, Justin would probably be better equipped to lay it out for you. He plans his flights in a very detailed manner so I think I'll let him chime in on this.

Actually, we just had a good discussion about this recently. I posted in detail my flight planning steps to include a reclear on an international flight. That post is here: viewtopic.php?p=19483#p19483.

I use FSBuild (payware) for my flight planning...until I finish writing GCFM ;)

If you need more detail let us know!

Couple of websites that you might want to look at for route planning www.simroutes.com for US/Canadian flights and http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/ for international ones. For (US) charts, try www.myairplane.com or www.skyvector.com. For international look in http://usa-w.vatsim.net/charts/.

Have fun flying!
