Cannot load flight plan into FMS of JF BAE146

[nigelgrant 4]

I am having a lot of difficulty achieving success with importing a flyable flight plan for CYOW_CYUL into the FMS of the JF BAE 146.

 Initially I tried using SimBrief but found it confusing.

 I tried an MSFS flight plan created with LittleNavMap (I find that a lot more intuitive and illustrative of what I am trying to create than SimBrief) from CYOW25gate28 to CYUL24R. I loaded this into the FMS and succeeded in deleting the discontinuities and the flight plan looked okay to CYUL. I managed to get airborne and connected to the flight plan through LNAV but before I reached Montreal there was a disconnect by the aircraft (at a “manual” waypoint, which had been apparent in the LNV plan, but did not show up in the FMS legs.

So, I deleted that flight plan and created a new one CYOW32gate 28 to CYUL6L. But when I loaded it into the FMS it loaded the original CYOW25R plan, not withstanding I had deleted this original plan from both the LNM directory and from the LocalState folder in MSFS 2020. I cannot load the new flight plan into the FMS

 I am posting this both at Just Flight and LittleNavMap and would appreciate some assistance to resolve this issue - please.

 Regards

Hi Nigel,

manual or vector legs appear in some procedures. The autopilot normally switches to HDG mode, FMS stops waypoint sequencing and waits for the pilot to enter a direct to one of the next waypoints. You completely rely on ATC vectoring during these legs.

Do you have an example for such a plan? LNMPLN or PLN file would be fine (see here about files: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/605519-how-to-post-a-screenshot-or-files/)

Hi Alex

Thx for your reply but sorry for the delay in acknowledging, but I have been away from the simulator and will be for the next few days.

I presume you are referring to the disconnect I experienced, I will have to re-create the flight plan and try again and will report back. 

However I would like to determine why I have so much trouble trying to load a new CYOW flight plan into the FMS of the 146 but have yet to hear from anyone at Just Flight.

regards

Nigel

All CYUL SIDs have a last leg "Heading to manual termination". This might explain the discontinuities.
