Saving flightplans in 747.

[Guest anders]

How do I save manually entered flightplans in the 747-400 fms? I also experience errors when loading a flightplan that is generated by the 737 and has the .rte extension. I can only see the departure airport and not the destination. Regards Anders E

After creating the plan, Activate it and press "Exec" button. Now you can press "RTE COPY", that will save the plan to your flightplans folder.I have also had the problem with using 737 plans, so now i just create them myself for the 747.

Hi, im having trouble saving my plans. I usually use FSnav to create a plan then export it to thr FMC formate. However i did a flight and found the route was poorly planned, so next time using the Fsnav map i find some better placed fixes etc. The problem is whenever i press RTE Copy the FMC deletes the route and NO Active Route error is displayed. Then when i press Clear to get rid of the text, it says AFRI saved (which was the name i wanted the route to be saved as) So i enter afri into the Co-route box but get the error invalid entry???Whats going on? im mid flight and the FMC doing this isnt good, i hope someone can help me quick enough i dont go soo far of course.BTW i was trying to save RTE2 if this makes any difference after i couldnt get the runway to show back up on RT1. There is a arrival airport entered, the plans im trying to save are fine because ive checked them.Thanks for your help.
