IFR Flight Plans
 

Hi Everyone,

Doing anf Ifr Flight tomorrow however i will not be on an airway and was told i needed to make a point every 49nm could somebody please tell me what i need to include when i am including this point?

ABCR12349NM :confused:

THANK YOU :)

The point can be a dme distance on a radial, not sure how you write it on the flight plan you are filing though........good question, flight teat soon, better look it up

Lat and Long

StraightLevel

Station name, radial, dme. eg: SAM283035 (no spaces). The 283 radial at 35 dme from southampton or the former ADSON waypoint that was removed a while ago. You are right about the 49nm bit as well. I think it is a Euro control rule and your flight plan will get rejected if you don't have a waypoint every 50nm.

S+L and Potkettleblack are both absolutley right. Personally, I'd go for radial+DME from a VOR, using potkettleblack's syntax, as it's easier to plot on a chart. You could also use a VOR or an NDB.

Also worth pointing out that the points must be a maximum of 50nm apart. It doesn't matter if they are less than 49nm apart.
