January 6, 200323 yr Hi everyone,It's good to see you name back on this forum Tocart, welcome back!We recently started a flightplanning course at school so I thought this would be a good way to practice. I think I got it:(FPL-AXL555P-IN-AT43/M-S/C-LPPT1800-N250F180 MORAS B60 CCS G7 TLD B190 SSN R10 LMG G21 GIVOR V36 AKELU R7 ADIXO R110 NTM L984 RAK N871 HOLAN T40 UVSOV R11 LDZ-EPWA0628-DOF/030107)Total distance according to PM Flightplanner: 1611 NM.Best regards,Peter JansenThe Netherlands
January 6, 200323 yr Hi Peter,There seems to be a rounding error in PM Flightplanner (or my flightplanner is wrong (-:), because I get 1654.2 nm for that route...LPPT/21..MORAS
January 6, 200323 yr Hi,Mmm, yesterday I departed from Amsterdam to Sharjah on a real Air Holland charter (HLN001P) which eventually takes me to Auckland, New Zealand) on VATSIM. Both PM Flightplanner and Wilco's 767PIC calculated the exact same distance on this 6,5 hour flight. Distance measured from runway to runway. So I'm rather suprised that you've found a rounding error. I guess it's probably the program itself. What flightplanner do you use? Ow..that reminds me. Don't 767PIC and PMFP use the same route database? I believe that data comes from a converted DAFIF database.Bon dia!,Peter
January 6, 200323 yr And I just discovered that the FTM SID is a few miles shorter...FTM N872 VIS B47 RIVRO G52 DGO B190 SSN R10 LMG G21 GIVOR V36 AKELU R7 ADIXO R110 NTM L984 RAK N871 HOLAN T40 UVSOV R11 LDZLPPT/21..FTM
January 6, 200323 yr Hi Peter,I just checked the distance with some real world charts and I came up with a distance of 492 nm for LPPT/21 to SSN...You can also use http://www.asalink.net/davideg/rfquery.html' target="_blank">this] site to check that distance. Then you come up with:LPPT/21..MORAS
