vroute.info premium is a professional quality flight planning tool, including route database, fuel calculation, live airspace maps and online traffic information. This program was created as a successor to very popular vroute.info program. Now anyone interested in serious flight simulation can find a huge route database, comprehensive airspace maps, flight progress cards, map and scenery links as well as VATSIM online traffic data - all in one place.
Vroute.info premium was designed from a perspective of someone who wants to get the right information fast, without browsing multiple web sites and launching different programs for different elements of the pre-flight preparation.
The route database includes over 65,000 routes from all around the world, constantly improved and expanded by a large community of users. Once a route is selected, vroute.info premium allows you to:
- Print a detailed pre-filled Flight Progress Card (pdf) with route details, forecasted weather, alternate airports and routes to alternates, detailed waypoint list and fuel levels as well as ETAs for each waypoint. Once printed, the card serves as a scratchpad during your flight for writing down ATC instructions, actual fuel consumption etc. See here for a sample document
- Get automatically calculated set of alternate airports with their weather conditions
- Calculate fuel consumption taking into consideration payload and other flight conditions. The calculator is so accurate that it even takes into account the weight of payload and the selected cruise flight level.
- The fuel calculator provides accurate fuel level estimate for each waypoint, which helps keep track of the consumption and detect problems early.
- Show fuel distribution in aircraft's tanks for easy loading
- Show vertical flight profile with terrain below and vertical airway boundaries
- Display route on a high-resolution zoomable airspace maps, depicting airways, navaids and airspace sectors in the area where the flight will take place
- Export route into popular applications (Flight Simulator 2004/FSX, FS Commander, FS Navigator, SquawkBox 3, FS Inn) and aircraft FMC formats (Flight1 ATR 72-500, Level-D 767, 767 PIC, PMDG 737/747)
- Check weather, NOTAMs and VATSIM ATC coverage for the route of your flight
- See real life aviation regular flights taking place on the same route, with callsigns and departure times, for greater degree of realism
- Get links to maps and sceneries relevant to your route from 3rd party web sites
