Approach Procedures not in FMC. Can I get them somehow?

[Guest percy]

PMDG SID STAR data base has a section called approaches ( in the star data base)that list the different approaches for each runway I do not see this in PSS nav data base. PSS data is configured different than PMDG data. You can look at the data base it is found in the module folder PSS nav data, or in the PMDG folder sidstar data, opens with excel. percy.

The pss planes do not have the approaches in their Fmc. They have only the Sids and Stars.Here is what I do:I have added the default Fs9-Gps in the panel and I look up the approach in the Gps and add the waypoints then in the FMC.Regards.Guy

Also, go to (and this is for US airports only) airnav.com and look up your airport. It's all free :-) And all the latest charts are accessable there, including approaches. To ssimulate full flight planning, I always print and have my charts handy during the flight.For other countries, I do not have any links to give, but I have heard VATSIM has an array of such chart resources.I can take the chart and put in all the waypoints and restrictions in literally a moment's time, and since Airnav has the latest charts for official use by the users of the site, I know I am flying the official approach as it is published the day I make the flight :-)For those that do not have that much printer ink, it still takes only a few moments to bring up the chart in PDF and jot down the waypoints on paper :-)Hope this helps. - to delete half the smilieys in this post. LOL. They looked a bit distracting.

Do you also get altitude, speed and fly-over restrictions that way?>The pss planes do not have the approaches in their Fmc.

No, I do not have altitude and speed restrictions by using the Gps, but it is better then nothing at all!Guy
