LockMart - www. In many cases, you do not have a choice as to which service to use. Both services have peddled their own flight planning tools. I cannot imagine that either make much money on the basic service. It's the add-ons and other associations where they make their money. Joined: Jun 22, Messages: 3 Display name: alphafloor. There have been a few things said here and I am hoping to clear some stuff up and also answer some questions.
I signed up for DUATS 12 years ago when I first started flying and if you told me it would be the same website when I started working here I would have never believed you. From joining the program my focus has been to update the system, starting with adding a mobile site and new web interface. We are bound by our requirements so most of the data presented to you cannot change however the way we present the data to you can. The new website is that attempt with tabbed weather briefings and pdf tripkits.
Also a new home screen with customized weather to get the most important information to you right when you log in. In the future we also have an iPad app planned as well. It's taken 4 years just to get it to where it is now and we still have a lot to do. I'm trying to not make this sound like an advertisement though it may be difficult to make it sound anything but. As for our third parties, We do not charge third parties for access nor do we have any "premium" features that we sell.
We have an open API that any developer can access. Access can be requested through our email address duats duats. Fire away with any other questions.

Although, each service service has slightly different features and presents the information in different ways. It is more a matter of personal preference and likeliness, and one's comfortableness. Both these services use FAA database to obtain weather and aeronautical information and to file, amend, and cancel flight plans.
In addition the to above mentioned services, many people like FltPlan. It is also approved by FAA. FltPlan is is funded by advertising and provides a better format and information than government subsidized programs. It is an excellent source for icing conditions. It does not meet all requirements of FAA. The bottom line is that whichever service tells you all the information and you are comfortable with it not to miss any critical information is the most suitable for you.
However, many people plan their flights in one service and then double check it with others to make sure that they haven't missed anything. Sign up to join this community.
