June 18, 200520 yr Hello all,I've been thinking about signing up with FBOweb.com so that I can get my dose of real world flightplans without having to come here and bug you guys all the time. But I would like to know whether its worth it. For example, will I be able to get flightplans from around the world or just the US? Will I be able to see flightplans for internaitonal flights into and out of America? Do they have a good serach engine and other goodies that a serious simmer and avid aviator might enjoy?Looking forward to your answers. ThanksRegards,Victorhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg Cheers,Victor M. Lima
June 22, 200520 yr Hi Victor,If you're looking specifically for flightplans within the US, you'll find both FBOweb and Red1Aviation great flight trackers (I haven't tried any others myself). The problem with FBOWeb is however, they often have only part of the flightplan, especially for flights going outside the US. For example, the first part of this plan is missing: KEWR./.EBONY..YAY..HECKK..5300N/05000W..5400N/04000W..5500N/03000W..5500N/02000W etc.If you're looking for European flightplans (through UK airspace that is), FBOWeb will be your only chance to get them. Access to those plans is restricted though, as you can read here: http://www.fboweb.com/30/pu/info/viewlondon.aspxI think you'll understand it's difficult to say which flight tracker fits your needs best, because everybody has a different opinion anyway. But I hope this helps just a bit :)Cheers,http://home.planet.nl/~duijn181/cu2/koen.jpg
