Victor Airways in Clearance

Availability isn't really the problem. Practicality and affordability are
the bigger issues.

It is in the CNX80

Now if they could just send you your clearance that way instead of

write it down...

They can. It's called ACARS.

I call it EXPENSIVE!! :~(

The mandatory VHF com change of 2010 could include data link capability. (ie
Euro/US standardization) Of course, an ACARS probably costs as much as your
airplane, so the capability will have to come in some other airborn
hardware.

It doesn't have to be, unless one confuses VDL with an ACARS.

****does it work pretty good?*****
****now there is a good invention for some brainyack to invent.*****


We don't use it. Too expensive.

Also, we need to check our flight plans against the paper ones that get
faxed to us, and the Universal UNS-1 is very fast and friendly to load
flight plans. A complicated flight plan that would take 10 minutes to load
in my Garmin 430/ Cessna 185, takes just seconds to load in the UNS-1.

I got to take a CNX-80 home and use it in demo mode for a few weeks. Their
method of loading flight plans is very much better than the 430. And, there
is a provision to load a flight plan directly from your PDA to CNX-80 via
infrared. Very cool.

Now you're talking!

it would be easier if by using a data link that ATC could just punch a
button on
their computer and it would load into your flight plan into your GPS.

now there is a good invention for some brainyack to invent.

It would be even easier if some genius would put the airways into the
database so you could program the GPS just the way the clearance was
given.

I am beginning to like this unit more and more. I obviously have not spent
enough time playing with it.

Mine is being installed as we speak. I've been reviewing the computer
aided training disk that comes with it.

And now, if civil service ATC co-operates, like they agreed, VDL will be for
everyone.
