I've put together 3 flight plans now available in the Avsim Library:

Search for:
Civa Ins Data Cards for KLAX to KSFO
Civa Ins Data Cards for KBOS to KMIA
Civa Ins Data Cards for KSJC to KLAS


or seach for Civa Ins Data Cards to view all three at once.

The downloads are better than I expected them to be! Thanks to all for your interest!

So...
I'll take a few requests to generate some more routes if anyone is interested  Wink

But please, only US domestic routes as my Excel program works with a specific website that doesn't offer European or International route planning.

AirCanadGuy.

I don't know how Paul does them, but I create routes using FSC 9.2 (sometimes getting them from RouteFinder(free access) first), then I save them as an FS Flight Planner PLN, then I use the PlanConverter (v0.4.2) to convert them to Cards. PlanConverter splits the plans and tells you when you will need to load the next plan.

Like this one for KBFI to PHNL that I did for the 707:

I've used RouteFinder some but it didn't always produce the route I was interested in.

So I created an Excel spreadsheet that allows pasting in a real world flight plan (Fltplan.com) and then will look-up all of the nav frequencies and  elevations. It will then automatically create all cards requied.

Another benefit is that I can easily remove waypoints that may be very close to each other prior to card creation.

Yes it does.

And if you sign-up, you can save aircraft types and flight plans.

I really like it for the real world flight planning.

So these are nothing like the "Data Cards" that PlanConverter does? I guess I should take a look at them. Shocked

The AWC cards my Excel program creates are exactly like the ones PlanConverter creates.
It's the ADC cards that are different. The nav frequencies are included with the nav station elevation and placed in a flight plan summary sheet.

I don't have to look each one of them up when enroute.

Airnav.com (US) is a good one if you do look them up.
