Planning a flight route from London Heathrow to Glasgow airport
This is a university assignment to plan a flight from the airports mentioned for a beech 1900C aircraft we have been provided with the aircraft manual and weather charts and have to complete the flight log attached. I have decided upon WOBUN 3F SID > Daventry > Honiley > Deans Cross > Glasgow airport however the part im struggling with is deciding on which airspeed to use, i cant seem to find a graph in the manual where it has fuel use vs. airspeed to find which speed is most efficient, so how do i decide which speed to use? Really appreciate anyone who could offer any help im struggling quite a bit with this assignment.

Matt,
It would more likely be WOBUN - POLE HILL - MARGO. Unless there are special reasons for that requested route?
The spinal route structure is roughly a one way system.....You usually go up on the east side and come down on the west.

Google CAA standard Route document. It's a spreadsheet and has all the permitted routes between uk airports and between uk airports and entry / exit points of the UK FIR
It will give you the SID and star and the eneoute section plus allowable flight levels etc.
Another website which is good for IFR planning is skyvector.com. When you have the route from the SRD document you can plot it in sky vector

It's a long time since I did navigation but some of the beacons do have humour, inbound to N. Ireland there would be 'RINGA' and 'BEL', in the North Sea 'DANDI' and 'BEENO' etc.
