Resum
The Flutter-based application developed in this study offers pilots a user-friendly interface, intuitive features, and real-time data integration. Through this application, pilots can easily create and modify flight routes, analyze weather patterns, assess airspace restrictions, and carry out simulations to obtain the most efficient route based on multiple parameters, as far as meteorology is concerned. Moreover, the application integrates with various databases and online resources to provide comprehensive data on airports, airspaces, and terrain, enabling pilots to make informed decisions during the flight planning phase. Additionally, this thesis aims to demonstrate that a competent software tool, capable of competing with other established flight planning tools, can be developed by a student. By utilizing the powerful Flutter framework, which provides a rich set of development tools and a vast community support, this research showcases the ability of a student to create a robust and feature-rich application for VFR flight planning. The successful development and evaluation of this application serve as a testament to the potential of aspiring developers to contribute innovative solutions to the aviation industry. Furthermore, this thesis highlights the importance of empowering students and encouraging their involvement in the digital transformation of traditional aviation processes, fostering creativity, and driving progress in the field.
