Software tells ANN that they are ready to release their new Voyager
FreeFlight flight planning software. Voyager FreeFlight is a
completely free yet powerful and easy-to-use flight planner based
on the award-winning Voyager Flight Software System. Voyager
FreeFlight works whether connected to the Internet or not; it shows
flight over terrain; it automatically downloads current weather,
NavData and TFRs; and it comes complete with more than 160 aircraft
profiles.
New Voyager FreeFlight is a streamlined version of the Voyager
Flight Software system that retains many of the powerful features
of the full Voyager product and is faster and even easier to use.
These features include both Victor and GPS Direct autorouting, a
profile view that shows your flight over terrain, automatic
background weather downloads, various weather overlays including
NexRad radar and altitude-sensitive cloud tops (satellite images),
full DUAT briefings, kneeboard printouts, electronic flight plan
filing, and much more.
In addition, users can test-drive any feature of the full
Voyager Flight Software System with a click of the mouse. Users
even can instantly upgrade to the full Voyager Flight Software
System without downloading or installing anything new so they lose
no investment of time or learning as their needs grow. These
additional features, called Modules, include the SmartPlates IFR
Procedure Management module, the GlassView moving-map module, and
SmartPlan advanced flight planning modules.
"Free is a great price and pilots have been putting up with a
lot of limitations to get it. Now pilots can have their cake and
eat it too - the free price without the limitations of Real-Time
Flight Planner," said Steve Podradchik, CEO.
"We want to introduce the majority of pilots to what
comprehensive flight planning can do while keeping things quick and
simple. With FreeFlight, we think we've found a great combination
of price, features, and ease of use that will appeal to every
pilot."
The software can be downloaded from Seattle Avionics Web site
right now.
