Welcome!  

The Air-E-Ware website was set up to widen access to a couple of handy home-grown tools related to private aviation.

A friendly and accessible alternative to costly (and sometimes daunting!) pro-/semi-pro flight software.

Leg-It   is an all-in-one VFR flight planning tool. Leg-by-leg route entry cross-referring to a large internal waypoint database, or import of route from 3rd party tools. All pre-flight calculations are performed automatically and presented in a mapcase-ready format. Route-specific NOTAMs are automatically collected and displayed, along with the route and restricted areas, on an interactive map. NOTAMs and routes are easily exported to Memory-Map, Garmin MapSource and EasyGPS and thence to GPS for in-flight reference.

Log-It   is a combined flight logging and maintenance tracking tool. Entries can be logged for multiple pilots and multiple aircraft, of which one is the Primary Pilot (for the flight log) and one is the Primary Aircraft (for maintenance tracking). The tool readily tots up pilot flight hours: overall, up to a given date or spanning a time interval - as a total or for any of a number of user-defined sub-categories. The tool will keep an eye on maintenance intervals for any user-specified item for the primary aircraft & engine and log maintenance activity automatically in a familiar format. It also monitors key dates such as permit-to-fly renewal, medical renewal and NPPL validation.

Based around Microsoft Excel, the tools were developed over a period of a year or so as a hobby activity* by a microlight pilot & enthusiast, to help relieve some of the drudge of flight planning and record-keeping. They started quite simple, and ended up apparently quite useful.

Feel free to take a look at the tools preview pages or download copies of the tools to get a feel for them.

Please also visit the links page - all are personal contacts with some added value to offer to microlighting.

Although this is a ".co.uk", Air-E-Ware is not a company. The name's too daft for a start. The tools are developed and distributed on a private basis.
