"... last summer, I delivered a Cessna 172 to California from Ontario. I figured for a trip across the US, a US flight planning program would be better to use than a Canadian one. I tried my US on-line program, found it extremely cumbersome and went right back to Flight Wizard.
I've been using Flight Wizard since you first brought it out. You have a terrific, friendly product that works extremely well, and I highly recommend it to anybody who asks about flight planning. I can now recommend it for US flights as well."
Ron Marshall, Flight Instructor
Flight Wizard has been favorably reviewed numerous times in the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) publication - COPA Flight. Below are a few excerpts from the reviews by Mr. Peter O. Walpole.
"This program comes with homegrown pedigree, does exactly what it's required to do and does it uniquely."
"... a simple program that will create accurate flight log sheets. You will be prompted to calculate an accurate weight and balance. And you'll never have an excuse for running short of fuel!"
"Put away your wiz wheel! The estimated ground speed and flight time will take winds into account. It's a wizard's magic."
"... CFW is remarkably powerful."
"... FW will add to your continued safety and longevity. I really do like the printed flight log sheet. And the price is certainly right!"
"You can also expect a high degree of customer support..."
In the July - August 2006 issue of Recreational Flyer, the RAA magazine, Chris Basham wrote an extensive article about his reasons for choosing Flight Wizard, his experience in preparing flight plans and comparing the flight plans with the actual flights. In his article Mr. Basham concludes:
"Cruise performance estimates [were] outstanding..."
"... the objective of low cost and accurate flight planning is achieved."
"Would I recommend this software to anyone else? Yes, I would"
In December 2004, Flight Wizard was reviewed by Nav Canada officials, with a very positive conclusion.
In June 2003, Flight Wizard was chosen to be included in a special study on flight-planning software, conducted for NASA Langley Research Center.
