A flight planning example (4 of 10).
As soon as a departure and destination location have been filled in the Flightplanning window, PocketFMS draws a line in the Moving Map screens. Suppose we decide to travel via a user-created waypoint called DYKE 11 NM north-east of EHLE. This is easily added, by simply grabbing the line, and dragging it to where we want the waypoint to be. A new LIB is inserted automatically, and all flight plan totals are recomputed at once.
Now the Moving Map window shows that we will have to cross 2 restricted airspaces in the Bremen FIR. On the next page we will show how PocketFMS is capable of auto-routing you around unwanted airspace types and -classes, as well as around certain terrain & altitude minima and too low cloudbases. The cloudbase is taken from the MeteoData, which you can freely download and contains METAR and TAF information, as well as additional SigWX information and winds aloft.
