Flightlog Backup launches flight planning tool

The Swedish company Flightlog Backup announces that it has launched a user-friendly flight planning tool that will be integrated with its free online logbook backup system. The tool will assist pilots with loads of useful calculations, including estimated flight time, fuel burn, ground speeds, wind correction angles, as well as ATC frequencies and TAF/METAR forecasts along the planned route. The flight planning is done using an interactive map where all airspace details are visible, and the end result - a detailed flight plan - is simultaneously being generated by the system. The instrument is primarily focused in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Greenland, but the coverage will be expanded gradually.

“By launching this sophisticated tool, and making it easily accessible online, we aim to give the pilot community a well-needed ease from the flight planning headache”, says co-founder Daniel Skoglund. “This emphasizes our ambition to be the pilot’s best friend when it comes to the everyday pre-flight and post-flight paper work”, he continues.

Flightlog Backup International AB is a Swedish aviation consultant company that is administered by two helicopter pilots, Michael Elmeskog and Daniel Skoglund. The company develops tools for pilots and operators that serve to ease the everyday administration and document handling. The “FLB” website consists of several modules that can be integrated in a close-knit web by synchronizing the free pilot logbooks with a wide range of licensed management units.
