Flight Planning Tools
While Enroute Flight Navigation offers essential flight planning functionality, flights are best planned with full-featured software on a big-screen computer. The following software is compatible, tested, and known to work well with Enroute Flight Navigation.
autorouter.aero
autorouter is a free online flight planning tool. While primarily aimed at IFR flights, it is popular with VFR pilots because it offers convenient briefing packages, including NOTAM, weather, and airport plates. The autorouter website also offers comprehensive flight plan management, an interface to Eurocontrol services, and a messenger bot that can be used to manage flight plans and access up-to-date airspace information/
The autorouter website is able to export flight routes in GPX format, which can be read by Enroute Flight Navigation.
Open the website autorouter.aero on the device that runs Enroute Flight Navigation. Then log in.
On the main page, open the tab ‘Routes’. You will be presented with a list of routes that you have prepared.
Choose the route that you would like to import into Enroute Flight Navigation and click on the button “View”, which is found at the bottom of the list.
After parsing the route for a few seconds, you are presented with a list of tabs. The tab “Route details” is already open. Open the tab “Briefing information”.
Open the item “Choose the desired information” and select “GPX (Google Earth, EasyVFR)” from the drop-down menu.
Click on “Download”
The next step depends on the operating system of the device that runs Enroute Flight Navigation.
On Android or iOS, open the file on your device. The Section Import Data explains the process in detail.
On Linux/Desktop, use the file manager to drag-and-drop the GPX file into the window of Enroute Flight Navigation.
A dialog window will open. Enroute Flight Navigation needs to know if the GPX file contains a flight route or a list of waypoints that you wish to import into the waypoint library. Choose the button “Route”.
FL95.de
FL95.de is a free online flight planning website popular in Germany and surrounding countries. It is able to export flight routes in GPX format, which can be read by Enroute Flight Navigation.
Since FL95.de is not designed for the small screens of mobile devices, we recommend using it on a desktop or laptop computer. Proceed as follows.
On a desktop or laptop computer, open the website FL95.de in your web browser.
Use the website to plan a flight.
Once done, open the tab “Laden Speichern Drucken”
At “GPS-Export”, choose “Dateiformat: GPX” and click on “Datei erzeugen”.
FL95.de will generate a file (typically called “FL95_EDTF_nach_EDTF.gpx”) that will be downloaded via your web browser. Most browsers store the file in the “Download” folder of your home directory.
The next step depends on the operating system of the device that runs Enroute Flight Navigation.
On Android or iOS, transfer the GPX file to your device and open the file on your device. The Section Import Data explains the process in detail.
On Linux/Desktop, transfer the GPX file to your device and use the file manager to drag-and-drop it into the window of Enroute Flight Navigation.
A dialog window will open. Enroute Flight Navigation needs to know if the GPX file contains a flight route or a list of waypoints that you wish to import into the waypoint library. Choose the button “Route”.
The manual of FL95.de contains more detailed information.
