Flight Planning Overview

September 6, 2026

MiniEFB is designed to help you manage your flights from start to finish, so you get the best flight logging experience possible. It all starts with flight planning.

Before You Begin

Your flight planning experience will be much better if you completed at least the Fuel & Performance section of the aircraft you are using. MiniEFB automatically calculates headings, ETAs and estimated fuel usage for you, so make sure you complete your aircraft details to take advantage of these.
