Flight Plan in a Few Minutes: How to Avoid Annoying Paperwork?

Written by Justin Coelho | Sep 22, 2016 11:41:14 AM

In fact, flying is not that easy. Especially, considering all the blank paper work you have to get done before you finally can take off the ground and feel true freedom of flight. Looks like all the preparations, flight plans, flight filing process may cruelly crash the entire flight joy, isn’t it? Anyway, it should be done - the rules are critically important to follow, but it takes time to fill it all up!

Well, you know that the solution to fast it up already exists. Firstly, let’s resume the most common flight planning operations shortly and explore why digital IFR and VFR flight planning is much faster than the good old “papers” method.

In short, it’s going to look like this:

1. Create a plan = 3 minutes.
2. File a Flight Plan  = 1 minute.

Sounds easy, like a children’s song, but let’s dive into the details for a while.

File your flight plan: 3 minutes with RocketRoute vs 20 minutes to do it on your own.

Flight plan is actually your basic flight planning document, no matter it’s going to be IFR, VFR or a mixed rules flight. It includes all the information about your destination, waypoints, aircraft specifics and expected flying process timeline. If something goes wrong or you are just out of your flight schedule, appropriate flight support organization in your flight country will start contacting you or even searching if your plane is out of the radars for some reason.

To fill in the flight plan, you have to fill all the information including your aircraft type, planned type of flight (IFR, VFR, or you can choose both options), aircraft identification, special equipment details, true airspeed, all the details about your route, departure/arrival, etc.

Another challenge - different countries have specific rules and detailed filing information. We are living in the digital age so all of this will be automated soon, but why wait if RocketRoute has automated most of it already?

If you use RocketRoute, it takes much less time because all the info about your aircraft and flight details are already in your account. Based on the input information your flight details give us, automated mechanism fills it up due to the specific guidelines of the country you fly to, from, or through.

Route Planning: Manual Method - Endless. RocketRoute Flight Planning Software - 1 minute.

Now, let’s take a step back - IFR and VFR flight planning. You know that is hardly possible to do that without online flight planner quickly, so probably SkyVector is your best friend here. Well, that’s already better than the old school approach, but you still have what to improve.

RocketRoute Online Flight Planning Software is fully synchronized with flight filling, so the route details will be put in your next flight plan automatically. Oh, yeah, that’s how actually our brand’s slogan was created - no paperwork, just fly!

The next thing - weather. RocketRoute Flight Planning App has an integrated system that provides our pilots with latest weather reports worldwide. Aeronautical charts and maps? Detailed airport info? That’s in too, just set up all you want to see in your personal flight planning app interface and enjoy the simplicity. We have developed a flexible informational architecture to allow you customize your flight planning software due to your specific needs and habits.

And the final one.
