FlyByNav is a great program and essential for flight planning. It has great information that is unique to any other program I've seen. Wonderful customer service and support is provided for questions or problems. I needed a certain combination of states and I got exactly what I needed in no time at all....

I have begun using both the Flybynav and Fly by6B programs in my IIIxe and both work exceptionally well. They are very intuitive to use, have a perfect selection of features and the downloads of programs and data (airport & navaids) went smoothly. Both programs are easy and accessible enough to use for pre-flight planning and enroute calculations. And Flybynav has the flexibility to edit and add lots of useful data to airport info to keep less paper out of way in the cockpit. I can't wait to see what Skywriter comes up with next. Thanks for the great effort and assitance these products represent. Glenn McArdle

FlyByNAv is an excellent program for quick and painless flightplanning. Don't forget to also check out the new FlyByE6B. It gives you all the calculations the good old E6B-wheel do, plus advanced calculations as point of no return and critical point. It also has a handy vertical nav section and the always nice to have conversion screen. Easy to use interface that gives you all the options in one screen. Still in beta version, this is so far the best E6B-replacer I have seen yet. I use it every day, flying searh and rescue helicopter.

Excellent.....
