stubby2 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I've having some problems trying to learn how to do flight planning with Sids and Stars using SkyVector . I have a payware plane with Navigraph support and have installed the current airac 1809. I selected a route KDCA TO KPHL using the DOCTR4 DQO route. I was able to find the Sid ok but I had trouble finding the Star for KPHL. I finally stumbled onto it but I am finding it difficult to find the right Sid and Star charts . I assume the Sid is the first waypoint on the route and the last waypoint is the Star. However, I often can't find a chart that matches the waypoint. I'm not new to simming but I am a noob when it comes to Sids and Stars. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 There is no STAR on that route. After crossing the Dupont VOR (if not before) you would be following ATC vectors to final. If I may make a suggestion. Try a longer flight, 100 nm is pretty short to need a SID and a STAR. Look here to see how the pros do it- https://flightaware.com/statistics/ifr-route/ peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

stubby2 Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 That looks like a good site for route planning. I think it would work well with Sim Brief. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
