Good point about the number of waypoints. I fly an old 1968 Cessna F172H with a Garmin GPS100 in the avionics stack to control a simple S-TEC auto pilot/wings leveller. The GPS100 will only accept 9 waypoints in a route although it does store multiple routes. Keeping the number of waypoints down not only simplifies the paper PLOG and mapwork but fits in better with my older avionics fit. If the aircraft could speak it could probably tell me the best route since according to its papers it used to operate out of Aberdeen
Good point about the mountain waves theses are not something I have any experience of. Mountains are very rare here in East Anglia I have only read about mountain flying I have little or no experience of it. So far the furthest north I’ve flown was a trip to Perth last year.
I have simplified the routes and also avoided the MATZ. These are posted on Facebook at:
