SimBrief problem with NATS

Featured Replies

Over the last few days whenever I've filed a Simbrief Atlantic flight plan, it correctly selects the NAT track during planning, but when I generate the flight plan, I always get the following message on the OFP:

TRACK X IS NOT ACTIVE, CROSSING 30W AT 2147Z
FILED USING INDIVIDUAL TRACK WAYPOINTS

I have the newest AIRAC installed. Anyone else seen this?

Just guessing.

Is your departure (or Oceanic segment rather) within the Active hours of TRACK X (01:00z -08:00z)

I set my departure time in Simbrief correctly...surely it should only allow me to select the tracks that are active? It's happened a couple of times now...I've always flew on real time and only plan my flight an hour before departure

Define 'correctly'.

Do you reach 30W between the active track hours of 0100z to 0800z?

If not, the track isn't valid anymore and you'll see that message.

At the planning stage, the system won't know what time you'll reach 30W so it's impossible for it to know if it's valid or not. It's only when you actually generate the plan that it figures it out and then tells you.

When planning in SimBrief, how do I find out the operational hours of the NAT track? How do I then seelct a different track? There was only one 'Simbrief' route available, all the rest were 'Real world' which obviously don't use the current selected NAT tracks...?

The track message shows the validity times of each track (https://www.notams.faa.gov/common/nat.html)

It's usually 0100-0800z eastbound and 1130z-1900z westbound but whatever it says in the track message is correct.

I don't really use simbrief so I don't know how to select an alternative.

All of this is irrelevant though, if you reach 30W outside of the time window for your selected track, you'll get the error message you initially posted about.

Correct well done.   It's also the same the other way too.
