Parin Vyas 1372486 Posted March 15, 2017 at 01:25 PM Posted March 15, 2017 at 01:25 PM Is there any directory website that can give me information for FIXs and nearby FIXs to that? For example my FMC sometimes does not accept a FIX that may be at the end of a NAT and I really want to know if there is a website that can give me nearby FIXs to that Fixture without me having to look through pages and pages of google search data. Thanks! https://indicators.vatsim.net/indicator/generate/1372486/1/20.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espicially on a NAT or other non radar environment. The NATs have newer fixes now. I recommend that you update your nav data on your fmc.

I completely understand and I even have the latest AIRAC 1703, however the last time I did a transatlantic flight on of the fixes did not work in my FMC for some reason so I had to resort to reading through Canadian Gander Centre FIX data and then pick a different FIX, which took me a long time and a lot of looking.

Trent Hopkinson Posted March 16, 2017 at 01:52 AM Posted March 16, 2017 at 01:52 AM skyvector itll give you the lat/long if you have to resort to doing it that way Confirmed. FMS entry (for boeings, leg page only) for "DOLIP" N5200.32W01159.87 But yea, having the up to date NAVDATA ... installed correctly and working, and the waypoints spelled correctly will be the best way. Choosing a completely different waypoint can lead to some fun issues if you are leaving procedural into radar airspace... of the "Yellow/Red flashing boxes around callsigns on the radar scope" type.
