Flight Planning and SIDs and STARs.

[kryten 1]

The manual states that my flight plan must have waypoints that correspond with waypoints in the SIDs  but when I create my flight plan I do not know which runway VoxATC will assign me. As different runways have different SIDs with different waypoints how can I comply? The same problem occurs with STARs. Am I missing something?

Normaly the same waypoints are used for diferent airport configurations.

For example in LEPA you have the MEROS departure.

Depend what runway you use the SID can be

MEROS1B

MEROS2A

MEROS3G

 

How do you think the real pilot can deal with a last minute runway change?

You do not need to make changes in the route, just change the SID.

 

But this is not your big problem, you will find many problems with runway/sid/star assignament soon, just check a bit this forum.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I probably need more charts to see all the options. No doubt I'll come across all the other problems in time.
