No FMC how do I proceed?

[Dace Nicmane]

He did ask how to plan the navigation, so why the hostility? I don't think the OP intended any ill.

So, can we please come back to the topic "No FMC how do I proceed?".

 

Yes, to the point. You want to fly a high performance, military jet from and to primary Cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] B civil fields with no concept of navigation or planning. Ummm, how about just don't. Or do; whatever. If you choose to do so, might I recommend doing it during a FNO. It will be much better received then.

 

Im unsure of where it was written in any of the posts here that the OP has no concept of navigation or planning. Plenty of people can fly without a FMC, VATSIM was not a Ghost town before the first PMDG aircraft was released. The Concord itself only has INS navigation.

 

I personally think that people that fly without a FMC have a better concept of navigation than those that do.

 

As a controller there is nothing worse than hearing "I can't do that in the FMC" when all you asked was to fly a heading.

That's a cool one that I never experienced Waiting for it. The standard-reply usually is "that point is not part of our route"...

Hmmm. I don't have a FMS, what do I do? I mean that really was the initial question. C'mon Kirk, you didn't just join the network yesterday. You're ststements of this being a hobby, recreation, etc. where anything is possible fosters this kind of behavior, despite the fact that a great deal of members who take it halfway serious. It's somewhat insulting to those who do, and makes people like me more dismissive of those who don't. Of course there isn't ill will by the OP, rather an embracing of quantity over quality thst even stems these questions in the first place.
