This question is for those involved in single pilot freight ops, 121, 135, or anything else commercial for that matter!
Do you ACTUALLY go through the same long process of flight planning as you were once taught as a student?
I'm referring to planning TAS, cruise performance, time to climb, descend, etc.
I'm aware of the importance of all this and understand that sometimes estimates are just fine. I do sometimes find myself spending around an hour on a flight plan for each cross country.
What are all of your methods for a fast, convenient way to flight plan without compromising safety?
I'm currently working on my CFI rating and hope to pass on some valuable flight planning knowledge to my students, but I'm also curious what's in store for me down the road.
Thanks in Advance!
