For flights in UK the following is the Real World set of Approved routes, free download.
http://www.nats-uk.ead-it.com/aip/curre ... dsheet.xls
Changes every 28 days, next update 18th June.
So for instance the correct route from Glasgow to Sumburgh, between FL195 and 245 would be PTH SID, P600 ADN DCT PETOX DCT SUM.
Return flight would be SUM DCT BEKET DCT PETOX DCT ADN P600 PTH and PTH1G STAR.
Routes alter slightly below FL195 or above 245.

Old pilots never die, they just run out of runway.

Re: Darn Nice Typical Famous North Scotland Shuttle Service
Aharon , nice video . Am playing catch up escaping the heat 33C and humid . Not up to your temps 'tho .
Thought the scenery looked strange for Shetland . And I know it's a computer .. But for 4 happy years was flying to LSI regularly ; and this video linked below shows a good Rwy 33 approach ..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz5_7gXkqgs
Aim for the lighthouse leaving it to your right at 500' , gentle descent towards the quarry , roll onto final leaving the Sumburgh House Hotel [ with it's red obstacle light on the roof ] to your left and roll onto final , wings level at about 30'-50' , power off , land !
Oh , forgot to mention , there are no trees on Shetland , [ and very few on Orkney Kirkwall , KOI ] . Ok there may be 1 or 2 in someones garden , well sheltered and pampered . But in the Islands 100 kt gales are common , and saplings don't last long in the salt laden wind .
