Hi guys,

another thing:

I often use ATC through RadarContact and have to record the stuff (that
means ATIS and commands) for later use in my reports to the virtual
airline. Also I would like to include the flight schedule, e.g. airports
on the route, times, navaids etc.

Do you know any wordprocessor templates for this task? I thought it
would be nice to have some fields or checkboxes for regular stuff like
clouds at XXX scattered / overcast / thunderstorm, visibility,
temperature, winds etc. - you get the idea.

How does a real pilot do his flightplanning on paper and how does he
record ATIS stuff and such during the flight?

Regards,

Guido

Last question first - I used a small kneeboard and a pad and wrote my clearances, etc. on it. Doesn't have to be fancy.

When I started I used the FAA flight plan forms but you can make your own, just make some colums for waypoint, heading, ETE, ETA, ATE, ATA. This can be as simple as a piece of paper with columns.

With big aircraft they feed the routes into thie onboard computers.

Hi Guido

Have you tried Jorge Salas's "faa-fp.zip"?

It can be obtained from Flightsim .com

Hey Guido,
In real life pilots plan out there flight plans before flight. These include a genralized route with landmarks,nav aids along with time and distances and communication frequencies. There's a few commercial Flight Plan forms out there, but I use Ben Chiu's flight plan sheets which work excellent. You'd have to ask him to send it to you, might be copyrighted but you can email him at ben@flightadventures.com
In flight pilots usually tune atis on a seperate radio about 20 miles from the destination, through multitasking and listening to the recording a few times they write down the inforamtion so its ready later.

Hope this helps

Hi Guido:

I posted the link to the back of the flight planning form in the Crew area that I think that Dylan is talking about. Let me know if you were thinking of something else. It may be the front of the form that you're looking for.
