Is there a way to view real world RPLs for Europe?

[Victor Lima 1158205]

Hey all. I´ve been a long time user of Vatsim and I fly mostly in my home country (Brazil) and the US with the occasional hop across the pond towards UK.

 

I´ve been meaning for years to start flying more often in Europe where the traffic gets heavy and I know the air traffic services are near-perfect; however I´ve been refraining from doing so because I can´t find a place to get my flightplans from. Iknow there are tons of software and websites that´ll suggest routings for me but I am obssessive compulsive when it comes to realism and I´ll only settle for doing flights that are done in real life with the real world flightplans. Here in Brazil we have a website that displays publicly the RPLs for every airline that flies in the country, enabling us pilots to simulate exactly what happens out there. In the US there is flightaware.com. But so far I´ve been unable to find something similar for Europe, and believe me I´ve looked.

 

I have already read the Dutch Vacc´s tutorial regarding the use of the CFMU FPL validation system, which seems to be an reasonable alternative. However, they have apparently restricted access to this tool for the public user.

 

To sum it all up, does anyone know of a place I could go to fetch real world flightplans or at least the routes commonly used by European operators. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

Best Regards,

For Europe, you can use http://www.vatroute.net .

99% of our routes are CFMU validated each cycle. It's sometimes different to the Real World, but always CFMU conform!

Hey, check this:

 

http://de.flightaware.com/account/locale_switch.rvt?locale=en_US

 

or this:

 

routefinder (for the route): http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/

CFMU validator: https://www.cfmu.eurocontrol.int/PUBPORTAL/gateway/spec/index.html

 

under IFPUV - Flight Planning [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance -> Free text editor or Structured Editor

 

 

Free text editor:

you can type something like this:

(FPL-[CALLSIGN]-[FLIGHT RULES+TYPE OF FLIGHT]-[NUMBER+AIRCRAFTTYPE/WAKE TURBULENCE CAT]-[EQUIPMENT]-[DEPARTURE AD+TIME ]-[CRZ SPEED+ALTITUDE] [ROUTE]-[ARRIVAL AIRPORT+TOTAL EET] [ALTERNATE1] [ALTERNATE2]-)

do use the free routefinder only if all other paths fail

as it is very inaccurate.
