Ah I was confusing it with the flight status applet I've seen, you're right, I didn't click on the links first.

I would probably pay $10 a month for something like this.

Here is how a per-lookup model could work. For the monthly fee of $10, you get Class A airspace and 1 Class B (or one Center... IE Seattle Center). Say your home B is SEA, and you're flying to SFO, LAX, DFW, SEA. You pay $2 a day to get SFO, LAX, and DFW class B. Then, as you lookup those B's, your clock starts ticking on the day you bought. How about that?

"normal" pricing for FlyteTrax runs $600/year for a single workstation license for FlyteTrax Express and $2028/year or $169/month for the full FlyteTrax 2001 package.

I hadn't considered a model which only gave me a single region or zone. Not sure if I'd be interested in that, my use of the software has thus far been more exploratory and wandering than more focused or goal-oriented usage than I'd expect a geographically-limited license to appeal to.

Paul Followell mentioned to me that FlightExplorer does have a hobbyist rate, perhaps he'll post the details on that.

I pay $9.95 a month for 10 hours. The only things I don't get are weather and flight plan overlays. You can download the latest version and play with it using static data that is included with it. If you decide you want real data, just register on their site, and put your username and password into FlightExplorer next time you run it.

For what it's worth, I sent an email off to the flytecomm folks and they indicated that they're watching this thread for feedback as they pursue this subject.

Perhaps we can even entice them to participate here in the forums. [img]/forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
