Hello captains i wanna do a very long haul flight from Sydney to Los Angeles and i have checked the flightaware website for the flightplan but when i see that flightplan i see number of coordinates that makes me puzzled how to enter it normally i can do it when flying a North Atlantic Track(NAT) but these coords are different does anyone know how to decode these cords? or a place where i can do that?Here is the flightplan:

DIPSO G595 ALLOC GORDO LHI B450 NF 2500S 17400E 2000S 17900E 1500S 17700W GOBIN 0500S 17000W 0000N 16600W 0500N 16100W 1000N 15600W 1500N 15100W 1900N 14500W 2200N 14000W 2500N 13600W 2800N 13000W FOOTS R578 FICKY BUFIE1

Not one of my strong points, transoceanic routing...But they look like the a version of coordinate waypoints encountered on NATs and PACOTs...2500S 17400E 2000S 17900E 1500S 17700W GOBIN 0500S 17000W 0000N 16600W 0500N 16100W 1000N 15600W 1500N 15100W 1900N 14500W 2200N 14000W 2500N 13600W 2800N 13000Wtranslates toS25E174 S20E179 S15W177... and so on...You would need to check the manual as to how you need to enter the waypoints on the CDU so as to be recognized by the FMS...Andrew

First, punctuation is your friend. I'm not trying to be a grammar ######, but I found your post difficult to read. It helps the reader understand where your individual thoughts are.As far as the issue goes, its mentioned in the 747's FMC chapter on the manuals. There are a few ways to enter the information.

Hi,In the PMDG navdata all coordinates are represented by a fix (example "90W20" is -90.000000-120.000000). And you can enter those fixes in the FMC.So, your plan would be:DIPSO G595 ALLOC GORDO LHI B450 NF 25S74 20S79 15W77 GOBIN 05W70 00W66 05N61 10N56 15N51 19N45 22N40 25N36 28N30 FOOTS R578 FICKYYou can check this in the "wpnavfix.txt" file inside PMDG->NAVDATABye
