Administrators ProAvia Posted November 17, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Any solution on this one? I also tried 50N020W without success. Anyone have other ideas on how to display the planned route on the route map for North Atlantic crossings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators ProAvia Posted November 18, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Thanks Mark! I think I found it. I used simBrief for the flightplan and then looked at various formats. SkyVector lead me to a solution. 5020N works - it needs to be 5 characters. I guess it's the same as with intersections.... 5 characters max. Yesterday I saw - somewhere - how to do this for north, south, east and west - so it takes +/- lat long into account. Once I find that again, I'll post it here. Edited November 18, 2017 by ProAvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ProAvia Posted November 20, 2017 Administrators Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Lat/Long to show on route map NW = N -- 5200N/04000W = 5240N NE = E -- 5200N/04000E = 5240E SE = S -- 5200S/04000E = 5240S SW = W -- 5200S/04000W = 5240W Be aware that not all lat/long points are available in the navdata table. I ran across a few in the NAT's that didn't show - but the route depicted on the route map was close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
