In the northeast (and even entering the northeast, pretty much from PA east from what I've seen) clearances aren't "direct", they're KLOU IIU J78 PSB J49 ALB GDM LOBBY KBED. I'd rather just be able to dial that into the box. Heck, even going from BED to PWM (Hanscom to Portland, ME - 83NM leg whos only airspace issue is the 3000' and 4000' shelf of the Boston bravo ) always gets clearned via the PSM and ENE VORs. That's true here in the Southwest as well. With all the restricted areas, MOA's, and high MEA's, if you want to go IFR, you're going to be on the airways. I've been all over the SW with the exception of Kalifornia and I've haven't filed an airway in a few years now. I just put a well defined waypoint outside the MOA and go. As for high MEA's I find it even easier going GPS than airways. -- Matt Barrow Performance Homes, LLC. Cheyenne, WY |

Yeah, I know, it's starting to happen, but it's amazing how long it takes for the most obvious things to get rolled out in aviation. The Southern California area has had the tower-to-tower routes for many, many years. Jeppesen publishes them on a text page. But, they are not in the Jepp Nav database so far as I know. They certainly aren't in the Garmin 400/500 or 400W/500W databases. Are they in your 480's database? |

All the necessary components of Victor airways are in the box. What you want, I presume, is an airway database. I guess you have to go to a G-1000 to get that.;-) GNS480. |

Went to the map page, moved the cursor to where I wanted to deviate to, pressed direct-to, enter, enter to get the waypoint +Map. Put +Map into my flight plan. Before I got to the first +Map waypoint, I decided that I could cut the diversion short, so I moved the +Map to the new position and activated it. My GPSS took us dutifully on the modified route. That is handy. I'll have to read up on that tip. -- Peter |
