Stillwater Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Noon in Whitehorse. Here we go... ... climbing over Lage Laberge. This is our routing as shown on Skyvector... ... and this is how it looks in PRO-ATC/X. Much simpler... So I head north and keep it this way... ... over the Canadian Tundra, ... ... until we leave the american mainland near Pearce Point. Greenland is unfortunately covered in clouds; the next land we see is Norway, near Trondheim. And here we are already reaching the Baltic Sea, ... ... near Ljusne, Sweden. Vector at its finest. Descending, still going nearly straight on, over green Sweden, ... ... and into Arlanda. Another airport I bought long time ago, but not visited yet. I hope the passengers find a good way to unboard, at the end of this long day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Another outstanding set Gerold. I have this plane but still have not flown it as it should be yet, been too busy. Do you find all the navigation systems working properly for such a long flight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, all the NAV systems worked totally perfect. Though, as you can see from the flight plan, it required a ton of manual input as there are no navaids, waypoints or even airways up there.

Yep , everyday we have 777's - A380's - 747's - A330's - A350's - 787's go right over our house out of LAX and SFO headed for Europe and the Middle East . I love my FlightRadar24 app .

Captain Lars Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Really fine shots, Gerold. I think your routing is not very realistic, since you use random coordinate waypoints over the Yukon Territory. I checked that because yesterday I completed a flight from PAJN to EDDF, almost the same routing. It was a gigantic hassle to find a suitable routing with PFPX. I ended up YXY J515 YQH J521 YHY J526 YZF between Whitehorse and Yellowknife, than following the track that goes from Vancouver and Seattle to Europe. I ended up giving myself a little direct.

I see your routing looks simolar, Lars. I tried to find an easier routing with skyvector, as I hate to enter all these DTOs. No chance: North of the mainland there is only Thule and YEU, no airways. This is much better if you head slightly south. 7 hours ago, adambar said: Super flight and shots Gerold! Now if they only served some food.
