I see waypoint NAMES, but what about the LAT and LON cooridinates for each waypoint name...like to put in an INS system?PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS!!!!thanks,bglass

I wrote a long post explaining it all but then realised I have what I was looking email me and I'll send you the info you wanted.

My email service is not working properly....please post it on this thread. So everybody can see.thanks,glassb

Am afraid its in PDF plus its a table so I can't really post it sorry.EDIT: On second thought the file is actually one I got with my Altitude Concorde so I think its probably copywrite protected and I'm not entirely sure I can supply it with out permission from them.

C/UPGAS/I think the C/ is a comment - in this case it's direct to waypoint UPGASN0740F280F430740 knots FL280 FL430 (Maybe you have to pass this waypoint UPGAS at FL280 and going for FL430)?? Passing UPGAS between FL280 & FL430 - at this stage, Concorde will start to accelerate up towards Mach 2.0, so ATC will give them a block altitude to stay in.5041N01500W/M200F450F460at this waypoint 50.41N 15.00W you should fly at Mach 2.00 FL450 FL460? I see to many FLs, maybe you copied it wrong?Again, this is a block altitude restriction - Concorde is a major user of this, especially in Mach Cruise, where it will slowly climb & descent as the outside conditions change, all in order to maintain Mach 2.0.

C/UPGAS/Initiate Cruise Climb at UPGAS. N0740F280F430Block Altitude between FL280 and FL430 to cross SM15W above FL430. 5041N01500W/M200F450F460Should read F450F600. Cross SM20W above FL450. Block Altitude was between FL450 and FL600, so the aircraft could climb or descend within these limits without having to notify ATC. http://www.sstsim.com/images/awconcsig.jpg

Thanks alot Andrej. :-) The fact that you could personally go in depth on one thing for someone els is enough to make my day! The step-by-step proces really helps me to understand this type of flight plan!Thanks Again!!!bglass ;-)

Bglass,I am glad that I could help out a little! Enjoy it and thanks to others with the rest!Cheers.Andrej

And lastly, the ORGN/ is the AFTN or SITA address for the originator of the FPL - Who filed the FPL in the first place.ATC uses this to know who to turn to if additional info about the flight is needed. The ICAO FPL that is sent to ATC stops at field 18, but there is a field 19 that the originator keeps on file. Field 19 contains information on:POBEnduranceWhat rescue equipment is carried, life jackets - do they have lights, radio or not. Dinghys, number and capacity, are they covered, what colour etc. Colour (and special markings) on the aircraft itselfName of pilot in command- All necessary information in case of an emergency. Well, name of PIC is not really necessary in such a case, but it is to be stated in the FPL.And the above explanation of this: C/UPGAS/N0740F280F430 is correct, just wanted to add that this means the cruise climb is to start at UPGAS. In other words, a kind of pre-request, but aircraft needs specific clearance to do the climb.Speed and level are always grouped together, so even if its only the level that changes, the speed must be stated as well.The speed designators are:N - KnotsM - Mach numberK - KilometersCheers,Kjell.
