FF:
If I enter via SITET (south of DRAKE) there is no link to EGHH arrivals.
Only option is to file for A34 MID but after that Eurocontrol validator does not accept routing towards SAM via R8 and HAZEL.
Your route is 616 nm
WS:
Your route is 709 nm but Eurocontrol validator still gets me off EGHH approved arrival via MID and then back west.
MEN seems a bit too westerly of a detour but I guess you suggested me this one for Montpellier and not Cannes.
Indeed DCT's may come on the fly but for fuel planning purposes I need to take the worst case scenario in consideration.
I am looking into an option of visiting my friends at Stapleford EGSG and fly next day to Bournemouth.
Therefore I may take the East of Paris route and fly to Stapleford anyway.
FF indeed Cannes seems a better option therefore I am considering these FPL's (stop over to LGKR for refuel) :
(FPL-SXATK-IG
-01TRIN/L-SDR/C
-LGKR1200
-N0145F120 TIGRA A14 BRD L995 PEMAR L5 OST P160 MEDAL A1 ELB R16 KERIT
-LFMD0530 LFMN
- )
Distance 650 nm
(FPL-SXATK-YG
-01TRIN/L-SDR/C
-LFMD1200
-N0145F100 PERUS A3 MOU B373 TRO G40 VATRI B3 RINTI L10 LAM VFR
-EGSG0500 EGTR
- )
Distance 620 nm
The aircraft has an 770~800 nm IFR range which makes it just ok for these legs since I expect headwinds as on most NWbound European flights.
Thanks for your suggestions
