Desarrollo de software para planificación de vuelos VFR

Abstract

The visual flight route planning by hand involves a considerable deal of time and calculation. Therefore, over time applications or web resources have emerged as a tool for pilots. These programmes can make calculations immediately and also provide useful documents for the navigation. Despite this, it is still necessary the use of multiple software to be able to access all of the required functions for the pre-flight phase. FlightTrack stems from this need. It is a desktop application developed in order to unify the maximum number of useful tools for the pilot. Its code has been programmed from scratch in C# with Visual Studio. In the beginning of the project, the actual software has been analysed determining its level of usefulness, in order to create an application capable of overcome them. This way, the pilot¿s time will be optimized giving the possibility of using only FlightTrack as a flight planning tool. In order to create the programme, it has been necessary the study of the Spanish airspaces and the visual flight normative, so as the application of the route calculations. It might be concluded that FlightTrack has overcome the actual existing software in the usefulness degree. The program provides great number of calculations (speeds, times, fuel, weights, etc.) and gives the option to download the data automatically in PDF documents. With its simple and visual interface based on maps, it provides an intuitive and fast use
