FLIGHT PLANNER 5000 V2.0

1 INTRODUCTION

Flight Planner 5000 is an advanced system for electronic flight planning for pilots. The software is based on the Flight Planner 3000 software which has been extensively used on Windows based computers for a number of years.

The operation of FP5000 on the iPad is very similar to the operation of the

FP3000 software on a Windows computer.

1.1 Overview

Flight Planner 5000 is a comprehensive computer based flight planning tool designed to produce detailed, accurate flight plans, and also to provide the pilot with additional information specific to the planned flight. One of the principal design goals established prior to developing this software was to make the software simple and easy to use. This goal was to be achieved while still providing all of the features and facilities that will allow the software to be used at all levels - from the ultralight pilot through to the professional airline pilot.

This software is designed for use on any Apple iPad platform, from the original iPad 1 through to the latest generation iPad devices including the iPad Mini.

Flight Planner 5000 provides the user with the facility to produce accurate flight plans to locations anywhere in the world. The software is available in

3 different versions: The Australia version, the New Zealand version and the version covering Australia, New Zealand, PNG, Indonesia and some other regions of the world.

Printed output available from the software includes the Flight

Plan/Navigation Log, the EnRoute Information Sheet, the Flight Summary and Waypoint details.

The software is delivered with a comprehensive database of waypoints plus over 260 sample aircraft definitions, and will also perform Track &

Distance calculations, Weight and Balance calculations, comprehensive fuel calculations, CP & PNR calculations, etc.

Weather and NOTAM delivery and flight plan notification via NAIPS (in

Australia).

The FP5000 software is not available for the iPhone.
