For FMC users...

Just a quick pointer to something I'm finding very useful:-

http://rfinder.asalink.net/free/

Here is the output when inputting PAYA and KBOS:-

That last line is all you really need for the input pages of ROUTE in the FMC but I save the whole output text to a folder called "MyFMCroutes"

Naturally I changed PAYA to nearby PAMA (McLeland Field).

I use routefinder all the time and use it's output in the IFPUV structured editor to validate the route.

Good utilty

Hi Peter.I also use routefinder as well as charts(out of date).However I haven't yet subscribed to Navdata to get updates for the FMC so there are times when a waypoint from routefinder doesn't exist in the FMC.Cheers EricT
