Flight Planning and Dispatch Links Appendix
These links link to a variety of very useful sites for all stages of flight planning. I am hoping if anyone has other useful links, they might like to also put them into this appendix below the others - I almost certainly don't know them all! The links are organised into categories relevant to certain stages of planning a flight. They will be used in this order in my upcoming flight planning guide (about 1/3 written) as a basis for obtaining information to create a flight plan with.
Section 1 - Enroute Weather, Organised Track Systems, Enroute Supplements & Enroute Notams
Australia ATIS - maximum information about your chosen airport.
Australia Bureau of Meteorology - Aviation WX.
Australian Organised Track Structure.
North Atlantic Tracks - North Atlantic Advisory published twice-daily by ATCSCC
Section 2 - Route Planning
RouteFinder - Route generator for PC flight simulation use
FSBuild - builds flight plans for a variety of flight simulators
