SID/STAR FMC Programming

[Guest]

I was trying to create and save a f/p KDTW-KLAX. I got the SID in the f/p but when I tried to input the STAR, I went to the DEP-ARR page as stated in the manual but all it would display were the runway selections at DTW and the SID. I could not get an Arrivals index to input the STAR. Am I missing something? Also- is there a way to load and save multiple SIDs from a single airport without having to create a full route plan to go with it? I would like to do some data entry in one session instead of having to write in the SID before a trip in which I actually need it.

You might have a look at the SID/STAR editor at flightassist.tripod.com/index.htm and see if it may help your situation.Terry

It sounds like you were in the KDTW departures page.Make sure you have both the ORIGIN and DESTINATION airports punched into your ROUTE page before you try and access the DEP/ARR Page.Usually the STARS for your DESTINATION airport are RSK2.If you find yourself staring at your ORIGIN airport (and you have already made sure you have ORIGIN and DESTINATION in the ROUTE page) press the LSK that say INDEX and you should be able to select the DESTINATION airport's procedures.Alternately - be sure you ctually have procedures for the Origin/Destination airports. Additional procedures can be downloaded at http://www.seaartcc.org/767pic/I hope that helps,Ian Elchitz

Ian--Thank you for the reference to the website for the procedures. I was thinking that such a site would be very useful and bam!...it is. I appreciate the direction and have bookmarked the site. Great work. Thanks again.
