VFR Flight Plan Calculator for Pocket PC version 1.3
=====================================================

Copy appropriate to your processor FlightPlan cabinet file to your pocket pc
to any temporary place, and click on it. It will install itself into "programs"
and "Start Menu" as "VFR Flight Plan" and the installation file will be removed
automatically. Processors supported: SH3, MIPS, strongARM, XScale. Note, XScale
uses the same cabinet as strongARM.

You can calculate your flight as a whole or divide it into legs.
Program can store default values for TAS, total fuel on board,
fuel burned per hour, variation and home airport geographic coordinates.
To save them enter as usual data in fields and then click "save" button.
Home airport geographic coordinates will be saved after entered in
"get true course" dialog and after pressed "OK" button
following by "save" button from main dialog like above.
Defaults can be also restored by pressing "reset" button.
Defaults data are stored in "config.fly" file.

Airports symbols and coordinates necessary for calculating distance and true course
can be stored and added to database by entering these data in
"get true course" dialog in destination drop down edit control and
clicking "Add" button. Editing these data or removing can be done only
manually in current version by editing "airports.fly" file in text editor
remembering about formatting rules. I the file will be corrupted, just remove the file,
it will be restored empty ready for new data. The same is with config.fly file.

You need to remember to enter consistent unit measures for distance, wind speed and TAS.
So if you using knots, you have to use nautical miles for distance to have correct results.
Similarly if using statute miles per hour, you need to use also statute mile for distance.
You can use adequate converters for this purpose when press the "Tools" button.

In next version there will be available more detailed airports database and weight and balance calculator.

Sample defaults are set for CDW, Essex County airport in NJ and Cesna 172P airplane.

I use this program for my cross country flights planning so comments are welcome.

The program is shareware, so please read "About" section for registration information.

Thank you for using our software!
