I am curious as to where you guys find your flight plans, I use 'Free online flight planner' ( http://www.flightsimaviation.com/_flight_planner.html ) and I'm sure a lot of others use this too, but I was wondering if there is any other places you use to create your flight plans or even find and use real world flight plans, or if there are any places you would reccomend.

 

 

Kind Regards,

http://flightaware.c...tics/ifr-route/ You can use flightaware to look at real world flight plans between major airports in the US.

 

You can use routefinder to generate flight plans.

http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/

 

You can paste the flight plans into simroutes and have simroutes generate a FSX.pln file to download

Are those taken from real world flight plans?

I was just about to make this thread! I have tried many times to take the info from these and put it into the FMC, but I always have errors and problems even when using the same process as the tutorial. Is there a guide which explains how to take a route from a website and use it?

I'm using that site for all my fp's...

i had only few mismatchs between the route and the FMC AIRAC... most of then works fine.

As i understand, this is the Eurocontrol database so it should be real world...

As for program the FMC - on RTE page, put your DEP and ARR airport, then go to NEXT PAGE. On the first row, type the first Waypoint from your fp to DIRECT. the insert the airways, in same order of the fp, to the VIA entrys... The FMC will connect then automaticly, hopefully with the same waypoint from the fp, Or the waypoint from your current AIRAC installed...

When you'll have the departure clerance, you can choose the SID that relevant to the first waypoint and the FMC will connect it automaticly :)

Generate my own with Navigraph or copy a real life plan from Flightaware.

I use www.Aivlasoft.com EFB software package, never had a problem yet.

Sagi,

 

Does this site have or show the routes a given aircraft has taken throughout the day for airlines? Say, for instance, will it show me that Ryanair tail number #### has flown from DUB-LGW-BCN-FCO-LTN? If not this site, do you know of another one for European airlines?

 

I'm looking for something that will show me the actual routes each tail number for each airline in Europe. We have something similar in the US that publishes on-time stats for all the major US airlines. From this data, you can extract the actual route a given plane flew on a given day during that time period. I use these actual routes as my "route assignments" for the day so that I'm not just always picking where I want to go but get that feeling of being assigned the route. Somewhat more real and adds that randomness to my destinations vs always just going where I want to go.

 

Thanks for your help,

Kevin

I use jeppesen jeppview to have a database of all routes, but vataware is a great site where you can search for most used routes between 2 cities.

http://www.fltplan.com/ for USA

I used Flightaware for US real world airline routes, but I copy them into FSBuild and let it generate a flighplan that I then import into AS2012 so that the weather is properly calculated along the route.

 

For non US flight plans, I check the weather at the departure and destination airports, then let FSBuild generate the SID/STARs and flght plan for the route which I then import into AS2012 and manually enter into the FMC.

Is there a planner that uploads the Legs as well, Im using simroutes and it doesn't do this
