Flight Plan Template Guide

Introduction

Professional Flight Planner X (PFPX) allows users to create custom Operational Flight Plan (OFP) formats in a pretty straight

forward and easy way. Formats are stored in plain text a simple Text File (*.txt). Fields and sections can be used to create

flight plan formats.

Best practice to create new layouts is to calculate a flight and to keep the text file open in parallel with PFPX. Once chang

text file are saved, just re-select the appropriate format in PFPX and the changes are shown immediately.

The default PFPX.txt template file contains most of the fields and sections available and can be used for consultation if questions

arise.

Note: A flight plan template file should also contain sections for re

Fields

The template file itself consists of text, sections and fields. A field or a section must be encapsulated between

showing trip fuel would be <&TripFuel>. Depending in the type of the field some formating can be done using parameters.

As <&TripFuel> is a field of the type ‘Weight’, we can add a parameter to adjust the appearance of the field:

<&TripFuel[0]> 37491

<&TripFuel[1]> +37491

<&TripFuel[2]> 37.5

…

<&TripFuel[5]> THREE SEVEN FOUR NINER ONE

Fields can also be adjusted in length to obtain the desired

field to be 10 characters long. Any other numerical value can be used to adjust field length.

The alignment of a field can be adjusted by adding one of the following parameters:

/L Text aligned to the left

/C Text centered

/R Text aligned to the right

By default, Text fields are aligned to the left, Weight/Time fields are aligned to the right. E.g. to right align a field, t

coding can be used: <&RouteName/R>

Length, parameter and alignment data can be combined. E.g.

hh:mm) with a length of 10 characters aligned to the right.

Sections

Sections are only shown if special conditions are met. E.g. the

Extened Range (EROPS) option. If the flight is planned without EROPS, the section is removed from the final flight plan.

A section always begins with the section name followed by ‘_Begin’ an

example a section only shown for EROPS flights could look like this:

<&EROPSSection_Begin>THIS FLIGHT IS PLANNED USING EROPS<&EROPSSection_End>
