Geez, I hope that after my long texts, David hasn't gone MIA.  :-/

Haha.  Actually, my silence has been due to my having a great deal of fun with all the useful info you guys gave me!

Still figuring it out little by little, but skyvector has been key to getting a better understanding.   I still have some issues with flightplans that make use of airways but don't provide information on VORs to fly them.  Mainly in Europe, where I can't seem to find any free chart sites that are similar to skyvector or vfrmap.


Today I was trying to fly from EGPF to EHAM, and the plan was making use of UL602, UL90, and UL602.   I was OK with U602, but then when I needed to turn onto UL90 I was lost, then even more so when I needed to turn onto UL603.  

I also had trouble trying to go from KCMI to KIAD today.  I managed to get turned onto J149 by using ROD radial 123, but then at intersection GEFFS I was supposed to start heading towards intersection SINDEE with a course of 99-100.  There is a VOR called AML that I wanted to track onto the radial 100 for, but I couldn't receive it before I was off course enough for ATC to have to help me.
