No transoceanic routes??

[Miguel Zafra 947101]

Hi, first of all I want to congratulate the authors of this incredible program.

 

I'm looking for flights from Spain to USA and for other european countries to the states, also to south american etc and i cant find any transoceanic flight anywhere. So I try to upload my own transoceanic flight plans (real flight plans) but i get lots of errors about missing points or airways.

 

For example, Madrid Barajas to Philadelfia is:

 

NVS UM191 RIVRO/N0461F330 UN191 DIRMA UZ27 PARAV/N0458F360 UZ27 DETOX/M080 F360 DCT 42N020W 42N030W 42N040W 41N050W 41N060W DCT JOCOB DCT BERGH A300 ELCAM/N0426F200 A300 OWENZ DCT DRIFT V139 BRIGS

 

and vroute gave me this errors:

 

ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint UN191

ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint F360 ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint 42N020W ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint 42N030W ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint 42N040W ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint 41N050W ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint 41N060W ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint JOCOB ERROR: Unknown airway/waypoint BERGH

 

So my question is: What happen with this type of routes?

[Michal Rok]

There is a standard for coding oceanic waypoints into 5 letter ICAO "fixes" so that they would fix into FMCs. For example, 5530N is 55N030W. If you follow this standard, vroute.info will accept the plan.

Thanks for Richard's explaination, but i am too stupid to keep it working.

 

 

So Michal, as you just explained how it work but i still have a problem here.

take a look again it's 40160N not 5530N (it's a trans-pacific route not a oceanic route), what kind of format will it fit to the 5 digits format by 40N160E.

[Owen Catherwood 903683]

40N 160E is 40E60.

thx that's the answer i was looking for.
