July 23, 200322 yr Heo!I checked and found out it is not in the database. I suggest you adding it manually to it.Regards, Nejc
July 23, 200322 yr Hi Nejc,What's adding manually SBRJ airport in FMC ?? What's file ?Thank you very much, NejcBest Regards,Correa.>Heo!>>I checked and found out it is not in the database. I suggest>you adding it manually to it.>>Regards, Nejc
July 24, 200322 yr You can add this manually to the airports.dat file. Lines are of the form:KOKC 35.393089-097.600733Rio is at Latitude: 22 54
July 25, 200322 yr Huh, thank you Bill for answering.Now the runway.This example is runway 31 at my home airport Ljubljana, Slovenia. You can find this sort of information in wpNavAPT file in fs rootFMCWPnavdata. You have to add two lines for runways 02 and 20 at SBRJ. You can do it easily with changing the lines I provided below.LJLJ31 10827306 46.214878 014.474825110.5030601273LJLJ - airport identifyer31 - rwy number10827 - rwy lenght in feet306 - magnetic direction of rwy46.214878 - latitude014.474825 - longitude110.50 - ILS frequency306 - localizer course01273 - elevation in feetJust change all that with apropriate new numbers and it should work.Regards, Nejc
July 25, 200322 yr Hi,For now the PIC767 database is used. In that database only airports are included which the 767 is capable landing/taking off from, and SBRJ appearantly is not one of them.I hope that PMDG will use a more extensive database when they start providing their own nav-databases.

July 25, 200322 yr There are different formats floating around including degrees.decimal degrees, degrees/minutes.decimal minutes, and degrees/minutes/seconds.decimal seconds. It looks like the file contains degrees.decimal degrees, but charts tend to show degrees/minutes.decimal minutes.Lee Hetherington (KBED)
July 25, 200322 yr Lee, thank you for response, you have sent one example with KBED ?Best,Cscorrea>There are different formats floating around including>degrees.decimal degrees, degrees/minutes.decimal minutes, and>degrees/minutes/seconds.decimal seconds.

July 25, 200322 yr I'm not sure what you're asking, but KBED is at42.4699531* -71.2890300*N42*28.19718' W071*17.34180'N42*28'11.831" W071*17'20.508"You just need to do some dividing/multiplying by 60 for the various components (e.g., 11.831 / 60 = .19718 and 28.19718 / 60 = .4699531).Lee Hetherington (KBED)
July 25, 200322 yr Do you have ANY runway position information for SBRJ?Edit:Ok, I found all necessairy info. Let's do it now! :-)SBRJ20L04341197-22.904722-043.163333111.1019600011SBRJ02R04341017-22.916667-043.162500000.0000000011All you need are those two lines. Enjoy!Nejc
July 25, 200322 yr S22:54:37 = -(22 + 54/60 + 37/3600) = -22.910278.W43:09:46 = -(43 + 09/60 + 46/3600) = -43.162778.You'll need to verify that S is negative and W is negative.Lee Hetherington (KBED)
