Hi,Thanks for your interest. Active Sky would be a great product for you. You will get beautiful weather conditions!I'll go through your questions:1. No, weather will be generated just fine without a plan.2. For reporting certain things like your departing and destination weather and for flight planning.3. Useful for all types of flights and pilots.4. Important for getting your destination report because without a plan FlightWatch(the voice report) has no idea what your destination is going to be. Without a plan you will get the closest station report, however.5. Plain English.6. Sure, you will get the most accurate weather and wind conditions, options to adjust AS to your system, the ability to use archived weather and the best darn support possible.I hope I have answerd your questions. If not, or if you have more, feel free to post away!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
