Title: Proposed WF16 Route
Post by: dougsnow on May 09, 2016, 03:30:26 AM
I just proposed the following route for WF16:

YSSY -> NZQN -> NZAA -> NSFA -> PHKO -> KSEA -> PAJN -> CYOD -> KDLH -> CYYZ -> KLGA -> KSRQ -> KMIA -> MDSD -> TBPB -> SOCA -> SBNT -> GVAC -> LPMA -> EGKK -> EDDM -> LYTV -> LTBA -> OIII -> OMDB -> VABB -> VCBI -> VIDP -> VNKT -> VGHS -> ZUUU -> ZBAA -> RKSI -> RJBB -> RCTP -> VHHH -> VVTS -> WSSS -> WBKK -> WADD -> YBAS -> YMML -> YMHB -> YCBR -> YSSY

Its a slight tweak from my original route idea.  A few highlights and challenging airports:

LYTV
VNKT
NZQN
PAJN

And of course KSRQ.  The leg PHKO-KSEA is about at the ragged edge of range for a B737-200, but it is doable even with ETOPS Considerations in mind, but cruising at LRC speed with a very restricted ZFW.

Sam, can you see if your navdatabase contains, or can contain the VKNT RNP AR Rwy 02 approach?  There is a VOR approach there as well, but it has a 5.3 deg final approach. With the RNAV RNP 02, the VNAV Path is a sedate 2.8 degrees thru the mountain pass.

All the airports above are available in the Navigraph/Lido charting app for the iPad (except for NZQN), which I highly recommend if you dont have a worldwide Jepp app.

Should know here soon... See you in November!

Great job, Doug!

Is route bidding open yet? I'd like to put a marker on the  KSEA -> PAJN leg. That should be fun. I love flying into Juno.

I'll look it up tomorrow, it should be there, If Prosim database has it I'll have it, or P3Dv3.2

Good job Doug!

IF we do it, I have Alaska's routes, so we'll fly their procedures :D

One map is worth a thousand of ICAO codes.  :D
