[Guest Mark McG]

Guys,Reminder that PIC Race Across the Pond is this weekend.Vatsim UK have Posted details on their website in the events section.http://www.vatsim-uk.org/bookings-events/e...asp?event_id=79Currently they have it down as a bookable event.I know that the VATCAN guys have said on their forum that we will definitely have ATC for our arrival into CYYZ.Work and Time Permitting I hope to be able to post some deatils of Standard Routeings for the Non Oceanic Parts of the flight over the next few days.

Mark,Link above gets me nowhere.What time we starting, I may have conflict with a 1800Z committment I can't get out of. I will be with inlaws till 2100Z. I will do the flight but most of it will be off line.The routing details in the spreadsheet are very nice and will be useful in the future as well. There are too many options for me to try to creat FSBuild Routes for all of them. How about posting a preferred route and I will generate a FP from that and then everyone could edit as they need.

Mike,Start Time is planned for 1300Z. I am working on getting some routes for you based on today's NAT Charts.Will post them here shortly.BTW, I was thinking on expanding the spreadsheet idea to include Standard Routes to and from Oceanic Exit/Entry Points to most major cities.

Here is my pick of the available routing using todays tracks along with the excel file Mark did with the entry and exit routing.
