FSX Tutorial: Manual Flight Planning (Pt 1)

[@TimVS1]

Dear oh dear. Little boys eh? I and I am sure many others very much appreciate what you do and the simple and clear way that you explain things. Although I am a long term armchair pilot I have learnt a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@Doofer911]

[@NoahR-di1nu]

what do you need help with?

[@paulbarter707]

learning how to respond to a reply i guess lol

[@papah5552]

Hey Doofer, I like one of your other commentors have been "flying" fsx for a long time but I still look out for your videos. Every day is a school day, and there is always something to learn. The negative comments are unjust, rude and immature. So maybe 'a sedan rat' (I like anagrams!) could learn from you as well. Keep the content coming as I do enjoy it.

[@Doofer911]

+Papa H Hey Papa, thank you for the support, very clever what you did there ;)

[@redglazedeyez6652]

so is it in order sid>star>dme arc>approach In chart order

[@PikalaxALT]

Next generation of flight sim needs to have atis reports in both the FAA and icao formats depending on aircraft location

[@davenorton5576]

This is probably a stupid question, but how do you start at the terminal? Whenever I start, it starts me ON the runway.

[@Doofer911]

When you're selecting the airport, there's a drop down which allows you to chose a specific runway or ramp number

[@Oscarius]

When you choose an airport in FSX there is an option called "Choose runway/starting position". By default this will say "Active Runway" but if you click on it you should be able to choose one of the gates or parking spots.

[@786free1]

So if I was flying towards a VOR at 347 reciprocal would I subtract 180 to get the correct radial/reciprocal?

[@Doofer911]

Yep

[@benjamindegroot5857]

Thanks! One question... Is this a VFR flight?

[@Doofer911]

This would technically be IFR.

[@benjamindegroot5857]

Doofer911 Thanks! But, I always thought that IFR is under ATC controls, so that they give you directions during IFR. But that isn't always true then?

[@Doofer911]

In reality, yes that's correct. I tend to avoid using ATC in FSX however this flight was still flown primarily by interpreting what the instruments were telling me

[@treborhg_9381]

where can I find accurate fsx charts for sid, star, approach, etc?

[@Doofer911]

Search google. For example, for London Heathrow, search for "EGLL charts"

[@treborhg_9381]

but most of those charts would not be accurate to fsx since they have been updated since the game was released. Are there any website that has charts that are accurate to fsx?

[@Doofer911]

Not sure, a google search will give you an answer.

[@ScotchBitman]

Hey, you can update FSX navaids here : www.aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html

[@haddenb1237]

what aircraft was this ???

[@Doofer911]

Learjet 45

[@MostaShot]

what is your specs?

[@Doofer911]

+Mosta Shot Hey Mosta, I've posted my specs here: kzbin.infoabout

[@jonathanferguson6050]

For a quicker way to find the in-date charts for an airport, search for the country's AIP, e.g. "UK AIP". This should give you a link to the country's Aeronautical Information Publication, e.g. www.ead.eurocontrol.int/eadbasic/eais-F36B3D97539E60324B23214F166F1E6E/3QDXTD5E6YWTY/EN/2017-03-30-AIRAC/html/index-ead-en-GB.html?target=eAIP/EG-GEN-0.1-en-GB.html for the UK. From here, go to "Part 3 - Aerodromes (AD)", then "AD2". Click on the airport you want charts for, then "Charts related to an aerodrome". This will show you all of the current charts, provided free of use for real pilots.
