Review
Pros: Useful for calculating distance, groundspeed, track and ETE.
Cons: No hardware button assignment and no mapping function.
Notes: View web documentation, you can use Aeroplanner.com to create DataChunks for download on your PDA. Beta version (1.75z1) is in the works but has a ERMI, button assignment & more. Read AOPA Flight Training (July 2001) review or article by Jim Weir.

| "Looks like a really nice product, just what the doctor ordered, but I can't justify paying money for a flight product with an outdated DB and arguably spotty support. Hope they'll get back to this project soon." |

| "Flight Buddy is still being supported, and we are working on new versions. The web site is being updated and new databases will be available soon. Due to the poor economy we had to focus on other means of income. Thanks to all of our supporters, and expect more versions to come. Jason." |

| "It doesn't look like this product is being supported anymore. Their website has a message from 2001 that says they are updating their databases. Wow it takes 2 years for that?" |
