General
The General tab informs you about basic user details (Dispatcher´s
name, User ID, Contact details) which are printed onto the Operational
Flight Plan. The User ID and Email/Phone/Contact details fields are op-
tional and not evaluated by PFPX and not transmitted to the server.
These fields can be left empty for privacy reasons.
The next section shows information about the PFPX program version in use and
the latest version available (requires internet connection). Check the “Automati-
cally check for updates” box to regularly verify if a newer version is available.
Finally, the Server subscription section displays information about the
online server subscription status (Server subscription is required to ac-
cess METAR, TAF, Winds, NOTAMs and Track information).
Planning / Units
The Planning tab enables you to determine default fuel and flight plan-
ning principles. Choose your preferred notation of the Route string
(ICAO or FAA format), measure of units for weights, lengths and alti-
tudes, flight levels and elevations.
