Reverse Route Functionality

[Jetman67 516]

Hello Just curious if the PMDG 737 NGX has reverse route functionality so when you arive at the destination you can simply reverse the route and fly the reciprocal flight plan RegardsWayne

Wayne, no. Not sure if any other airliner has that but I doubt it makes sense. Consequently, you'd fly your original STAR backwards (as a SID) and your SID backwards (as a STAR). That alone is already a problem, but furthermore many airways are one-way only or have other restrictions, so the route from A to B is quite different from the route from B to A in a great number of instances.

thanks i saw this modelled on another plane but it is obviously not realistic, cheers Wayne

Not sure if this helps (and you probably know it already) but there is a feature to save routes so you don't have to enter them each time.

What other plane was that? I'm not saying it's unrealistic, from my POV I just can't see if it would be very useful in a number of cases.

I cant remember now, i would say you are right its not really practical Wayne
