Hello All,

 

I looked all theads and in manual but I did not found information if there is any limit to size of SID/STAR (4th field). Does any one have such info?

 

Regards,

 

Wills

Hi Wills,

I'm not sure if there is a limit, only in the lists you may have to change the field length to fit your SID/STAR(not sure about the insert function in the FP, but I have seen such things there..I guess it is not a problem ). But I have to ask why would you need a big field? Why don't you use the name used in the charts and FMS, example:

GOLIYAMA 1C = GOL1C <= in charts and FMS

Wills,

 

There is no limit in the code. But your SEL, SIL list might look bad or uses too much space.

Thanks Gergely and Todor!

 

Here in Brazil we have many trasitions using in the same SID and some with long names like CONGONHAS 3 Trans NIBGA. So I need to combine names and 5 or 7 chars can not be enough.

 

Thanks again,

When I created the SIDSTAR section for New Zealand this week, I too found a number of STARs that needed specific definitions due to the number of transition entry points.

 

I simply made them read EXOPI2A.SELKA (see http://aip.net.nz/pdf/NZAA_33.5_33.6.pdf) and it works well in the SEL and SIL lists.

Mark,

 

Be careful with the . in the name. When I compile the FP route section the . is [Mod - Happy Thoughts]umed as whitespace. In this way it is not possible to enter the sid name to the FP, therefore you will not be able to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ign them manually. I suggest using the _ instead.

Ah ok... Thanks for that... I will check them. Would a hyphen (-) work as well as an underscore (_)?

Mark,

 

Hypen (-) should work.
