I would suggest that the claim here of a 'large database of supported aircraft' is an exaggeration. It is a good advance over older softwares for planning your regular routes and saving them for later. The flight planning aspect of this program is good. You will want the fuel planning aspect too. The planning side only is probably not worth the price. If you fly anything other than the most popular boeing, I would suggest you check forums to see if your aircraft is supported. It is not practical for average simmers to create brand new aircraft types. TOPCAT will provide you, the captain, with Load Sheets, Flight Reports, Individual Runway Tables, Take-off and Landing Performance Reports including all relevant speeds (V1, VR and V2), optimum thrust/flaps configurations, de-rated and assumed/flex temperatures and stop margins. It brings into a single application all of the calculations required to plan for safe and repeatable take-offs and landings. In so many aircraft templates and no way to update it or get any updates from Topcat. I would encourage the vendor to specifically list supported aircraft prior to purchase.ĭash 8 and TOPCAT V speed calculation. Many common aircraft have no listing to be able to plan fuel, and it is even worse if you try to integrate it with Topcat to get take-off and Landing data. A sample Flight Briefing Package can be downloaded. Regular navigation database updates are available for realistic route planning. An open source file format allows simple creation of new aircraft types. PFPX comes with a large aircraft database ranging from Airbus and Boeing types to smaller airplanes like Citation and Cirrus. Planned routes can be exported to various add-ons like Airbus X Extended, PMDG 737 NGX, 747, MD 11 and Captain Sim 757/767. The printable Flight Briefing Package includes real-time weather and wind charts as well as NOTAM, METAR and TAF reports. Advanced options permit realistic flight planning with sophisticated features like Long Range (EROPS) and Re-Dispatch Planning. Take your simulation to the next level! A user-friendly interface helps to easily build flight plans in a few steps. It’s a valuable and realistic addition to your flight simulation experience enabling you to create professional quality flight plans similar to those used by real-world airlines. PFPX - Professional Flight Planner X - is a new and innovative flight planning tool developed by real-world pilots and dispatchers.
