Abstract: A process for generating a flight plan includes accessing over a computer network from a client computer a selected composite flight navigation chart from among plural selected composite flight navigation charts stored at a server computer, each selected composite flight navigation chart including a flight chart merged with flight navigation waypoints. The selected composite flight navigation chart is downloaded from the server computer to the client computer. A flight route is indicated on the selected composite flight navigation chart at the client computer and transmitted to the server computer. The flight route is incorporated into the selected composite flight navigation chart at the server computer and returned to the client computer as a flight plan.
