ACM 
ACM is a LAN-oriented, multiplayer aerial combat simulation. Players engage in air to air combat against one another using heat seeking missiles and cannons. The program has support for 16, 24, and 32 bit graphics cards.
Avdbtools The avdbtools package (short for aviation database tools) is a collection of software designed to help create and maintain databases for aviation applications. This release of avdbtools is a single application that converts the National Airspace Data files distributed by the Aeronautical Information Systems Division of the Federal Aviation Administration into formats that other aviation related applications can use.
Flight Gear The Flight Gear Flight Simulator project is a free, open-source, multi-platform, cooperative flight sim development project. Source code for the entire project is available and licensed under the GPL. The Flight Gear project is working to create a sophisticated flight simulator framework for the development and pursuit of interesting flight simulator ideas. We are developing a good basic sim that can be expanded and improved upon by anyone interested in contributing.
Fplan fplan helps general aviation pilots to create flight plans for cross country flights in powered aircraft. It reads a planfile containing a description of the flight, departure and destination airports, navigation aids, intermediate waypoints, winds aloft, fuel consumption rates, and produces a flight plan including wind corrected magnetic headings, distance, estimated time and fuel consumption for each leg, latitude, longitude and VOR fixes for each checkpoint, etc. A graphical preview of the flight is available on systems with X11 Windows and the XView Toolkit.
GPLIGC GPLIGC analyzes IGC flight data from GNSS flight data recorders used by glider pilots. It can be used to optimize flights for the online contest (2003 rules). It uses Perl/Tk and gnuplot. The openGLIGCexplorer (written in C++) lets users view data in 3D with OpenGL, and can also be used as a digital elevation model terrain viewer.
KFLog KFLog is a KDE program for displaying aeronautical charts. It can read files produced by a gps-logger, which is used in many gliders, and shows the flight in the map. The source code does not include any maps; they can be downloaded from http://maproom.kflog.org/.
