How I do my route planning

For beginnners route planning is sometimes a question on clicking at some button in Simbrief. That's taking route planing too lightly in my mind. So I've attached a document describing some of the thing I do, when I choose a route.

PS: This is not my entire flight planning, merely the route I'm checking here.

Awesome document, thanks for taking the time and sharing!

 

If you do not have a Navigraph chart subscription, you can either get the
charts via the Danish AIP website at
https://aim.naviair.dk or you can get it from Eurocontrol at
https://www.ead.eurocontrol.int/cms-eadbasic/opencms/en/login/ead-basic/

 

I suggest to refer to chartfox.org for people who don't have a Aerosoft NavData Pro Charts or Navigraph subscription.

It only needs a VATSIM account and comes in very handy as this is one platform where you can access most charts via the countries respective ANSP.

Basically linking to charts with a great UI like you would using an EFB to view your charts 🙂

Thank you for your kind words, both of you. I consider chartfox.org for a future update.

I agree, it is great - my concern is that many pilots don't do their own planning, but simply copy other pilot's routes without doing the hard work themselves. If you use it properly, it is an excellent product.

This is helpful beyond words. I'm new to VATSIM (first flight was only yesterday and from EKCH as it transpires, so coincidentally I became aware of the 22R/4L/22L/4R usage from that!) but I've been using simbrief for two years to plan offline flights, and rather blindly it would seem. Thanks for putting the time into this.
