FltPlan Go

It's great that FltPlan has made this app available to Windows device. It is still a bit behind the iOS and Andriod counterparts, especially in maps management. Recent bugs have been fixed associated with Windows 1709 and the app is stable again, but still waiting for the new features available in the other apps to be available here... That would make it 5 stars for sure.

Microsoft made a big deal when Surface was approved for airline usage as Electronic Flight Bags (EFB). What was left out was that the only real software available was Jeppesen, even being a Naval Aviator it would have involved herculean effort to get a license for that software @ $700/yr. Now I love Jeppesen, I did most of my civil IFR training using their charts & plates, but that was a tough pill to swallow. Then, the day before my ATP checkride, FltPlan Go arrives on Windows 10 and I was ecstatic, I say was because though it worked fine on my wife's Surface 3, and a 8 year old DIY gaming rig, it would NOT display the map mode on my device, a Surface Pro 2. I contacted their wonderful customer service, and we figured out that I just had to wait a few days for the W10 update. That did the trick and I was up and running. I have only used it for 1 XC so far, but its everything you know and love about FltPlan.Com in a clean intuitive, touch friendly format. If you fly, give it a try.

Its in development. Tons of features work, a few on the way. For a free windows based aviation chart app, it is amazing. I've been looking for something like this since I got my surface pro 3, and avare and others just won't support another OS. Thank you developers! This is great.

I've been waiting for this forever. So happy to see this app and with so many features. Can't wait to try it on a flight!!

Good option on Surface... missing one major option. This app needs either a Super Dim option or a total app Night Mode.

I use this app on Windows 10 and on a Kindle Fire (Android) paired with a Stratux (see stratux.me) ADS-B-in receiver to show traffic and get METAR updates for VFR flight. I have also used it with an iPad with external GPS. It is a great app for my use (150 hours/year, all VFR, nearly all daytime). Updates to maps and databases are free and the pairing with the web site is great for loading flight plans. You can select the data to install so it's good for devices with limited space. Before a cross-country, I stop at the FBO and use it to check NOTAMs, TFRs, DUATS, etc., before calling Flight Services for a briefing (for redundancy) and to file my flight plan. The split-screen feature with simulated instruments is good on a larger device, especially for me as my aircraft has no directional gyro. With an AHRS system, this could be like a backup glass-panel display. Compared to some other apps I've tried, this has fast downloads for data updates, too. Get it!

Will not load onto my Windows 10 operating system even though I have a solid state hard drive and plenty of memory. Slows way down at 4/6 data bases, then gets completely stuck at the 5/6 database. Very unfortunate as I was looking forward to using it.

Love the app, it is getting better with each release. The problem I have is that when my laptop is connected via wifi, the downloads of maps and procedures doesn't work well, if at all. But once my laptop is connected via a cable to the router, everything runs fine. It could be just my equipment, it could be the app, or a combination of the two.
