Flight Plans
AviatorCalc can store up to 30 flight plans with a maximum of twenty legs each. The program calculates the Distance, True track (TRK) and True heading for a given set of wind conditions and True Air Speed TAS. Both Leg time and Total Trip time are also calculated and displayed. Distance may be displayed in Nautical Miles (NM) and in Kilometers (KM) or Statute Miles (MI). Waypoints may be added deleted and otherwise changed. There is also the facility to reverse the flight plan. Different wind conditions (w/v) and TAS may be applied to each separate leg.

 

 

Downloadable waypoints
There is a waypoint database which can store up to 300 waypoints. There are facilities to add add, change and delete waypoints. Most airfields and Navigation aids can also be downloaded from the Internet.

Each waypoint contains the ICAO code, waypoint name, type (APT,NAV or WPT), Latitude, Longitude and Magnetic variation.

Currently only Airfields and Navaids can be downloaded.

 

 

Rhumbline Course and Distance
The program also has a Rhumbline and Distance calculator. The distance and True course may be displayed in Nautical Miles (NM) and in Kilometers (KM) or Statute Miles (MI).

The menu allows the accuracy to be toggled to two decimal places and also allows waypoint descriptions to be displayed instead of Latitude and Longitude.
