Nightowl702 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi all. Just a quick FMS programming question regarding the NAT's. I'm using the PSS 757 Pro and when inputtting a flight plan for a flight across the pond I currently put in the waypoints for the track im flying manually. I know that when inputting a flight plan you can simply put in an entry wapoint, an airway, and then an exit waypoint and it will automatically fill in all the waypoints in between, and so when inputting a plan I will do this up to the entry point for the track and then again after the exit point of the track. So my question is can you do this with the North Atlantic Tracks? Put in the entry waypoint, the track (A,B,C,W,X,Y,etc), and then the exit waypoint? I have tried but I am not sure what the format would be to enter it (NAT A, NATA, NACA, NAC A,etc). I have tried to look it up but have had no luck. Thanks and happy flying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEBOJSA Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 NAT way points have to be entered manually,at least in the Level-D 767. nebojsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjones Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 No - the tracks are not in the AIRAC so the FMS has no idea what the track actually is. That's true regardless of the aircraft you use. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEBOJSA Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Todays NAT A is SUNOT 58/20 59/30 59/40 58/50 CUDDY .So every entry has to be entered into the FMC manually. unlike for example when you enter DBJ J85 DHP , FMC will fill in all the way points in the J85. You cant do that on the NAT because they change daily. Hope thin answers your question. nebojsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasman222 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 As Nebjosa mentions the NAT changes daily. If you use Route Finder http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/, the route for that day will appear as a Lat/Lon coordinate that you can enter in your FMC. Those waypoints are typically 300-400 miles apart. They will start and end at fixed points on either side of the pond. Happy Flights! Scott Sinclair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowl702 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 OK that answers my question. I will just continue to enter the waypoints manually. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
