If not, the next best POC is your state Laison Officer or a friend with MPP access that can download the products for you.Ĭaution, though, PFPS use, the data, and access to the current stuff is in what I call the "grey area" of FOUO. If you are a govt employee with a CAC and have a job that can or does use PFPS, you can apply for an account.

To my knowledge, we're free to use the software for CAP missions, but access to the MPP and NGA products might be a different story. In that case, I think it's best to have a current paper chart in-hand folded to the grid you're in. You'll spend too much time dorking with the laptop when you should be looking outside.
If you're flying pre-planned points (such as an LLRS) the mission planning features are powerful - but it's a bit complicated to work for Cessnas since it's made for "pre-packaged" airframes like C-130's and F-16's.įor SAR, I think the utility is rather limited given the high tempo of the "standard" grid search. It's also got a great GPS trail recording feature and several other tools you might be able to use. I go down to a TPC or lower and pull the lat/long from the cursor if needed. If we see a tower or something reportable, I can cross check it with the current ECHUM. It does a great job overlaying the training route boundries and ECHUM on the chart. For LLRS's, I use an old Garmin GPS III to feed the NIMA and moving map in the back seat. It's not the best GUI for SAR work, but has great potential for planning, preparing briefing charts, and certain missions like LLRS's. Through my work and military life, I use an older version (3.3.2), and have access to the mission planning portal for updated DAFIF and CADRG, but it's a lucky case where I've got existing access. Is anyone using Falconview? I'm pretty sure we could get Falconview or at least FV Lite for free, and hopefully even get digital sectionals from NGA (or whatever they call NIMA/DMA these days).
