We all know that there are a lot of posts on this topic. Is there a website which would provide SID/STAR for India?

 

FlightAware.com is only for US inbound/outbound flights. The RouteFinder.com website does not give the SID/STAR info. It just gives the data between the SID and the STAR.

 

Does Navigraph.com cover India?

 

I'm able to understand the SID portion of it as I can select each one of them for a runway and see on the ND it's route. But STAR is a problem as we can't

see it at the origin airport. We have to program it just before T/D ie., towards the end of the flight.

 

I'm new to PMDG (just a week old) and yesterday I flew from Mumbai to Delhi (VABB - VIDP) . The STAR took me on a serpentine route around the city and finally vectored me onto the runway. It's almost guess work in deciding the STAR and/or transitions during final approach.

 

The FMC on its part gives all sorts of errors like "Discontinuity" and what not which is a zillion times frustrating.

 

Could someone please suggest a good approach to execute a good approach to the runway?

 

Thanx

You need the charts. Try aircharts.org

Hi, On this website, I could not download and on Aircharts I could not get anything for Delhi. Are there any other websites?

 

Thanks

I meant that I could not download any on this website http://www.edi-gla.co.uk/fpl/index.php

Navigraph covers Delhi and other major Indian airports.

Sanjay, Navigraph is not a chart system. They provide AIRAC updates for the FMC. It covers the entire world.

Hey Sanjay, though I do not know of a website that provides SID/STARs for India, usually a simple Google search can provide you with .pdf's for them.

 

For instance, for Dehli's VIDP, I typed in Google "VIDP charts", and my first result was this link, which has all of the SID/STAR's, and approaches: http://liswww.limewe.../vidp delhi.pdf

 

Similarly, for Mumbai's VABB, I typed "VABB charts", and got this .pdf: http://liswww.limewe...vabb mumbai.pdf

 

I know this does not count as an all-inclusive website, but it is a good first step. I will say though it may be difficult to find more regional airports, but I would say the top 10 airports in terms of aircraft movements/passenger movements will be available somewhere with the Google search.

 

As for the discontinuities, just clean them up on the "Legs" page after you've entered your plan. They happen and are easily fixed, just take a look at your charts and rearrange/eliminate the discontinuities in a way that makes a sensible flight path. Hope this helps.

Navigraph has both charts VIDP and VABB in their nDAC 3.0 -system

Not true. I use their nDAC 3 software to download their charts and save them as I need them. It is very good, very quick and very cheap to do. Look into it. I can also use it to download enroute charts. Pretty much all of the worlds major airports are covered. The airac is just another part of the service.

I thought Sanjay was talking about FMC updates, AKA AIRAC updates, NOT the nDAC which is a program.

Are you finding SID/STAR charts or just flight plans?

 

There is a official India eAIP website: http://www.aai.aero/public_notices/aaisite_test/eAIP/Home_india_01.html

 

I searched "india aip" and got this site as the second result. Many countries offer free aip services on the web.

Thanks Kyle. Those two website helped a lot. AND Thanks All.

Thanks Kyle. I finally used the VIDP STAR info and landed professionally @ VIDP !!. Without these charts it's very difficult. Ofcourse the FMC places a lot more fixes by default. I deleted them and just used the one on the PDF file and it worked perfectly.

Awesome! Glad to hear and glad I could help!

I wrote a small tutorial on SID/STARs how to select which one!

I could understand paying for the enroute charts. But I wouldn't pay for the aerodrome charts, when you could just get them off Google.

This is a really great website for RW flightplans. Although if your flying across the pond use these:

 

 

 

flightaware.com

 

flightwise.com

 

To get current flightplans as the NATs change daily. If you can't find anything in either of them just use this:
