I pulled this off our printer tonight and was curious about some of what was printed. After the LAT/LONs, are the parts beginning with "U" airways or something in Europe? Or are they "tracks" over the Atlantic??? I know what everything else is I'm just not familiar with the UN523 etc etc

Your track information is given in lat/lonUN523, UL607 and UP2 are all hi altitude airways in Europe, the will have various identifiers depending on what part of the world you are in.

To be pedantic, in the UK these airways are officially Upper ATS Routes, where ATS stands for Air Traffic Services.

Thank you, does Europe have high and low altitude charts like the US does? The only charts I can ever find for Europe are approach charts and SID/STAR charts. For instance, how do you know what route to take if flying from EGLL to EDDF etc?

The UK has Upper and Lower ATS Routes. Basically upper routes are above FL245 but there are, as always exceptions!In the UK, the Standard Route Document gives preffered routes between Uk and Irish airports and also to entry and exit points of UK airspace.In Europe, CFMU Route Availability Document (RAD) is a document listing all route restrictions within the airspaces of Eurocontrol member states. Each state has a dedicated annex. Access arrangements were changed earlier this year and I'm not sure if general access is permitted.
