January 6, 200620 yr I was just planning a flt from KDTW 2 KSEA and wanted to use the PMM SID using 3L.I am unsure how to program this SID in the FMC.When goto DEP/ARR there are no SIDS for KDTW.I went to the sid/star folder under pmdg and saw a slew of files I think they are the AIRAC 0513 for the PMDG737/NG.So my question is how do I get the SIDS to display in the FMC.If I select ARR for KDTW or KSEA the STARS are there.I want to program 2 fix points which are part of the PMM SID using 3L.If there is another way to program this please let me know.ThanksAndy
January 6, 200620 yr Commercial Member Hi Andy,KDTW has 3 SIDs according to the current AIRAC cycle.Go here and enter KDTW:http://avn.faa.gov/digital_tpp.asp?ver=051...&end=01-19-2006All 3 are "vector" SIDs which would not show up in the FMC's DEP/ARR page because they're dependent on controller radar vectors to get to the transition fix and onto the airway.When assigned such a SID, the pilots will simply enter the transition VOR or fix as their first waypoint, which they'll usually recieve direct to from departure control a little while after takeoff. There's really no way to simulate this without having ATC either on VATSIM or by using something like Radar Contact, which does a good job of getting you onto an airway via a vectors SID like this.Here's the routing the FSBuild comes up with for KDTW-KSEA:KDTW..SVM.J70.ALPHE.J34.RWF.J90.ABR.J70.MLP.GLASR6.KSEAYou'd want to file the PALACE TWO departure to get to SVM and J70 via vectors.
