What does Virtual Flight do?
Virtual Flight lets users enter a departure airport, destination airport, altitude, airspeed, and optional route fixes. The system resolves airports, VORs, and waypoints, builds a route, and displays the path on an interactive map. It also shows current-position weather context, route overlays, and stepped movement along the route. Public users can preview a limited version, while subscriber-enabled users can interact with route stepping and map overlays more fully.

How should I enter route fixes in the Virtual Flight route field?
Enter route identifiers as separate fixes. Use K-prefixed airport identifiers for airport fixes; route entries without a leading K are checked as VORs or waypoints. The route field validates entries as you type. Valid fixes appear as gray highlighted chips and invalid fixes appear in red so they can be corrected or removed. If the route field is left blank, the system assumes a direct route from departure to destination.

What is the Flight Risk Assessment tool used for?
The Flight Risk Assessment tool helps subscribers evaluate route, fuel, airport, weather, terrain, and pilot-related factors before a flight. Users can enter departure, arrival, and optional alternate airports, configure groundspeed and fuel assumptions, compare live METAR and TAF conditions, and review a changing risk picture as planning inputs change. The tool is intended as a planning aid and does not replace official weather briefings or aircraft-approved performance data.
