| David, You said you were flying from Champaign/Urbana KCMI to KIAD via J149... J-149 is a one way airway so I wonder how ATC gave you that route, or did you just try to plan it that way? Were you in the high altitude structure? SINDE (all intersections are five letters long) is 123 miles from AML VOR, which is on the airport at KIAD. At high altitude you should have no problem receiving the VOR. It is too bad you cannot get free maps of Europe or other places around the world. Lou Uploaded with ImageShack.us |
Actually, it was the FSX planner that came up with that beauty, lol. And yes, it was using high alt airways.
Any idea what a real world route from KCMI to KIAD might be? I was on such a flight around 1974 I think, flying as an unaccompanied minor on my way to Glasgow. I don't remember what airline/aircraft it was. Ozark was our main carrier here in Champaign back then, but I'm not sure if they flew that route.
That's what I really like doing in FSX---recreating actual flights I've been on, trying to find out what real-world routing they used.
