Hey ! thank you so much for this great flightplan !.Best regards:Alexander

Hey VHOJUIs this flightplan using the AUSOTS tracks?cheersPatrick

Hi thereI am not sure - the plan was taken from an ACARS transmission on the 14th October - I imagine the LAT/LONG are some sort of track system or maybe just FLEXible tracks.I've never heard of the AUSOTS tracks - do you think you could tell me, I'd be interested to know?Cheers!Rudy

Hey Rudyhere's all the info: The organised track structure is delivered through the daily generation of Flex Tracks, arranged in a manner that enhances air traffic control separation assurance. It simultaneously allows airlines to obtain benefits from forecast wind conditions that cannot be obtained using the current fixed route structure. To achieve this, Airservices Australia is pursing a system currently being successfully used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the north pacific. It is conservatively estimated AUSOTS will ultimately provide airlines with better traffic flows and significantly contribute to airline fuel savings in excess of $5m per annum, based upon flight time savings. It will also minimise aircraft emissions on the environment through reduced fuel burn.Airservices Australia will facilitate the development and design of each individual Flex Track contributing to the overall AUSOTS and will be achieved through daily collaboration with participating airlines. This input ensures the integrity of the air route system is maintained and permits the provision of separation with existing ATC system tools and standards.The AUSOTS will be created and promulgated on a daily basis as a series of Track Definition Messages (TDM) for the most efficient track between specific international gates and Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. One TDM will be issued bio-directional for each city pair, and will be published to operators by Notice to Airman (NOTAM). Flights to and from Singapore will be the prime beneficiary of AUSOTS, however Airservices Australia expects that flights from other Asian cities, such as Kuala Lumpur or Jakarta, will also gain benefits. Flights that can gain benefits from using the organised track structure will be encouraged to do so and it is expected, that as experience with Flex Tracks increases, the city pairs included will be expanded. The AUSOTS trial will commence in June and will be subject to regular review prior to expansion. Further information on AUSOTS can be found within Airservices Australia

Hi Patrick,To give a short answer to your question, the flight doesn't use the AUSOTS, because those aren't published for the YSSY-FAJS sector (in fact the route's just a random one)...Cheers,http://home.planet.nl/~duijn181/cu2/koen.jpg

Hi PartrickThanks for the helpful reply - I'd never heard of the AUSOTS before, you learn something new every doay. Interesting thing to learn of.Again, thanks a lot for the great replyRudy
