In addition to displaying the values, FltPlan.com also gives you colored cautions and warnings whenever your user defined limits are exceeded. For instance, if you set 15 knots as your crosswind caution value and 25 knots as your crosswind limit, the app will display orange when the crosswind component exceeds 15, and red when the component exceeds 25.

09/27/2012 Moving Maps & Charts come to FltPlan.com Android App
The latest version of the FltPlan.com Android app includes several great new features:
Offline/Online moving map
This feature displays your flight on sectionals and enroute charts (high & low altitude).
 
"Track Up" map display
The plane icon moves in the same direction as the plane. What's on the left side of the aircraft is on the left side of your moving map. Most iPad apps do not provide this.
 
"Breadcrumbs"
This handy feature lets you record where your flight takes you. From take-off to landing, you can see the actual route that your aircraft flew.
 
Take notes on your moving map
With FltPlan.com's Android App, you can write notes on your moving map. You can make notations along your route, which can be viewed later while in flight or on the ground.
 
08/24/2012 eAPIS Users: Now get your CBP Confirmation email sent to specific crewmembers
FltPlan.com's latest eAPIS feature allows you to get your CBP confirmation email sent directly to the pilots flying the trip. For multiple crewmember flight departments, this can save the trouble of forwarding the email to the working pilots of the trip and also avoids disturbing non-working pilots with unnecessary emails. CBP requirements state that you cannot take off without this email confirmation. Having your CBP email confirmation sent to the specific crewmembers flying the flight can speed up your departure. It also provides the peace of mind of knowing that if one email gets lost in the ether, there is another source to check.
To access this new feature for our eAPIS customers, go to the crew section of your eAPIS page. Once there, enter the appropriate email address for the crewmember in the "Crew CBP Confirmation email address" entry box at the bottom of the page.

This is a great tool for uploading checklists, receipts, trip sheets etc. Most file formats are accepted including .doc, docx, .gif, .jpg, .pdf, .txt, and many more. You can upload the document on your home computer, and then access it from your laptop or office computer... all from within your FltPlan.com account.
To use this feature, look for the Document link at the bottom left-hand side of the Main Menu page.
06/08/2012 Pick up your IFR clearance over an enroute fix
FltPlan.com now lets you file starting from an enroute fix, like a VOR or intersection. By doing so, you can now depart VFR, and ATC will have an IFR clearance waiting for you starting from a point along your route.
In addition, FltPlan.com's NavLog will still reflect your full route, so you have accurate ETEs and Fuel Burns and not just numbers starting at the clearance point.

04/06/2012 FltPlan.com and Corporate Angel Network: A great partnership for helping those in need
It's now even simpler for pilots to notify Corporate Angel Network (CAN) of available flights. FltPlan.com users, who are also registered with CAN, will be able to easily send flight information right from their account without having to call or send a separate e-mail to CAN. Look for the  link on the left side of the Main Menu page. You can register online or send CAN your FltPlan.com username, if you are already a participant. If you or your company would like to become a 'Corporate Angel', click on the CAN link for information on how to register.

Now you can plan even farther in advance with our Calendar feature. Flight plans can be scheduled out 6 months in advance, and events can now be scheduled for a full year. Want to remember a maintenance event
ten months down the road? Now it's possible.
03/28/12 Our Newest iPad Feature
In our latest iPad innovation, FltPlan.com makes it possible for you to doodle on your charts. We know that when you use paper charts, you mark them up. You might mark your route and highlight an altitude restriction on a STAR, or show a taxi route and mark an FBO on an airport diagram. Now, if you use an iPad, you can do the same thing on your electronic charts.
To access this feature go to the Scratch Pad + icon on the iPad home page.
03/21/12 Our Weight and Balance Calculator Now Includes Turboprops
This month we expanded our Weight and Balance collection with our new turboprop feature. This feature not only provides a standard Weight and Balance template for pilots to use but we also have the capability to enter in a variable fuel arm. Since Weight and Balance can be a tedious task for you pilots, we plan to make Weight and Balance a possibility for aircraft of all single & multiengine pistons and single & multiengine turboprops. We just recently added a Cessna 425 Conquest I, Piaggo P180 Avanti, King Air F90 and are planning to add many more.
03/07/12 Now Share NavLogs and Weather on your Computer
Last week we announced that you could share your NavLog and Weather on your iPad. Now FltPlan.com lets others (that you have authorized) view your NavLog, Wind Matrix and Weather briefings on their desktop or laptop computer -- even if you use different account usernames. This is a great tool for operations where pilots need to share information, but have separate FltPlan.com accounts. Access is restricted to viewing the NavLog and Weather. Your account and flight plan data are protected from changes by other users.
Flight plans can be viewed from the Multi-Printout page, on the left side of the Main Menu page.
 Both pilots must 'opt in' using their respective accounts in the Default Settings page (also on the left side of the Main Menu page). 
03/07/12 FltDeck Guide is Now Incorporated with the iPad App
FltPlan.com has now integrated our popular FltDeck Guide with our iPad App.
The FltDeck Guide is available for online or offline viewing. This is a full featured way of having all the airport information you need available at your fingertips. You can get everything from FBO information to airport diagrams. Other helpful features include a link to the airport's A/FD; runway information (including length, width, and lighting); approach information, with the various approaches listed; nearby airports, with direction and distance; and nearby alternate airports that link directly to that airport's information. Unlike the bulky guide books that come out once a year, the FltPlan.com FltDeck Guide is updated twice monthly, so you always have the most current information.
02/29/12 Enroute Chart Improvement for U.S./Canadian Border Transitions
FltPlan.com now lets the pilot select between Canadian (Nav Canada) or U.S. (FAA) High and Low Altitude airway charts for areas that overlap. The charts will default to Nav Canada airway charts for flights out of Canada and default to FAA charts for flight from the U.S. Either way, the pilot can easily select the charts of their choosing by using the Primary U.S. or Primary Canada drop down box.
Please remember that when viewing flight areas in Canada, pilots should use the Nav Canada charts, since these will have the most comprehensive and up-to-date information. Conversely when viewing areas in the U.S., pilots should use the FAA charts.
02/29/12 Share Your NavLogs and Weather with Fellow iPad Users
FltPlan.com now lets others (who you have authorized) view your NavLog, Wind Matrix and Weather briefings even if you use different account usernames. This is a great tool for operations where pilots use iPads in the cockpit, but have separate FltPlan.com accounts.
Both pilots must 'opt in' using their respective accounts in the Default Settings page (left side of Main Menu page). Once this is done, a pilot will be able to choose from the current and future flight plans of the other pilot for viewing on their iPad for both on-line and off-line viewing.
02/16/12 FltPlan.com Works with Corporate Angel Network
FltPlan.com has partnered with Corporate Angel Network (CAN) to make it simpler for pilots to notify them of available flights. FltPlan.com users who are also registered with CAN will easily be able to send flight information right from their account without having to call or send a separate e-mail.
Look for the CAN link on the left side of the Main Menu page.

We have streamlined the method by which you enter a Call Sign, LifeGuard or Charter flight designation. When creating/modifying a flight plan, there is now a box dedicated just for the entry of the call sign, which will override the tail number from your profile. In the past you had to put asterisks (*) around the Call Sign (e.g. *CSS123* or *LN2345A*) in the REMARKS section of the flight plan to override the base tail number of your aircraft. With the new method, you only need to enter the actual call sign in the Call Sign box without the asterisks before and after.

In order to facilitate a single page NavLog, FltPlan.com now gives you the option of printing a NavLog without the Winds Aloft box for the fixes along your route. This comes in handy when flying longer trips with many waypoints.

With the new No Wind display NavLog, most flights will be able to be printed on one page.
Please note, that all NavLogs use winds aloft data. The No Wind NavLog uses all the same calculations as the Color, B&W, and Mini NavLog; it just doesn't display the numbers in the 4 altitude Winds Aloft box.

Note: This is an option for pilots that are very familiar with using FltPlan.com's CUSTOM AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE and FUEL BURN CALCULATIONS. We don't recommend using Performance Profiles for newer users to FltPlan.com
You can now have different performance profiles for the same N#(Call Sign). This is useful for pilots that would like the flexibility of having different stored profiles for various types of flight missions.
You can create a HIGH SPEED PROFILE or a HEAVY WEIGHT PROFILE or an ECON PROFILE or any type profile you would like to enter.
This is most beneficial for larger aircraft that can have a wider range of weight possibilities and speed options.
By having different Performance Profiles available, you can easily select the profile desired, and obtain more accurate ETE's and Fuel Burn info.
To enter different profiles for an aircraft, go to the Change or Add Aircraft section ( from the Main Menu Page) and enter in the A/C N# box the registration number with a '-'(dash) and a letter or number after it.
Some examples are:
N1234A-H
N1234A-F
N1234A-E
N1234A-3
In the above examples, N1234A is the aircraft's registration number. The -H or the -F or the -E can be any single letter you would like to use. In this case the -H might refer to a Heavy Weight profile. The -F might refer to a Fast or High Speed profile. -E for ECON speed.
or you can just use a number(i.e. N1234A-3) to identify the different profiles
The -H or -F or whatever you used, will be stripped out for display on the NavLog and when filing your flight plan through FltPlan.com.
You can find instructions on entering multiple profiles by selecting HELP on the Change or Add Aircraft page. As always, you can also e-mail us with any questions you might have.
04/29/01 Fuel Burn Calculations by the Hourly Method

You can enter these values by going to Custom Aircraft, select your aircraft to customize, and then fill in the necessary information. The two methods are totally independent of each other and can both be activated, both off or one method on and one method off. They can also be used as a cross check if desired. The Fuel Burn number will be displayed on the NavLog near the arrival airport information.
In keeping with our policy of giving terrible instructions(mostly because none of you read them anyway), please feel free to e-mail us if you have any questions or problems.
