Basic Flight Planning

FlyQ EFB just needs a few inputs to plan your flight.

Routing: FlyQ's autorouter can plan wind-optimized flights on airways or using Terrain Avoidance . For airways, you can choose between Victor Airways (lower than 18,000 ft. MSL) or Jet Airways (FL180 or above). Be sure not to plan for Jet Airways if the selected aircraft cannot fly above FL180. Planning via Terrain Avoidance tells FlyQ to create as direct as possible flight between the From and To airports but apply rules for terrain avoidance and wind-optimization. You can also use the Wind/Fuel Only method to simply plot a direct line between From and To and wind-optimize it. This differs from Terrain Avoidance in that the Terrain Avoidance method may also add some intermediary waypoints for long flights. Finally, if you simply want to calculate the time/distance between two points without any wind-optimization, select (None) as the routing method.

Select Search and Rescue to use one of the nine built-in Search and Rescue patterns. See the Search and Rescue (CAP) section later in this document for details.

From: Enter the airport ident (either with or without the 'K'), its name or even the city. Use the Recent button to select from a list of airports you've recently used. Generally FlyQ defaults to taking off from the home airport you've specified. Change your home airport by tapping the Settings button then tapping the Defaults button in the Flight Planning section.

To: Same as above but your landing airport.

Takeoff: Tell the system when you want to takeoff, in the current local time.

Type: FlyQ applies different rules for planning VFR and IFR flights so select the type of flight you expect. This is also used when filing the flight plan via Leidos (Lockheed Martin) or DUATS.

Optimize for best winds: Normally FlyQ will use the winds-aloft forecast for your flight time to plan the best altitude for the flight. Select Off to disable this feature.
