Today, I was interested in doing a Rome (LIRF) - Delhi (VIDP) flight and as always, I typed in the flight parameters to see a sample flight plan in simbrief/flightaware. However, they give me an inaccurate flight plan.
Does anyone know how to manipulate FlightAware/Simbrief so they give me this more accurate and realistic flight plan? I would prefer to do this via this actually route instead of the FlightAware/Simbrief plan since the flight schedule (time table) in real life is also adjusted to the Pakistani airspace closure. Thanks, and safe flying IFC! 😁
FlightAware doesn’t always give accurate flight plans because reasons.
If I need to amend something, I just do it manually in SimBrief. This does include using the proper NAT tracks, avoiding bad weather enroute, and other things. Take out a few points, check the various airways to avoid Pakistan, and add them as necessary.
Sure it takes slightly longer to plan, but accuracy is always a good benefit. A big plus is you also get to learn how to use all components of the SimBrief UI.
You can exclude airways or waypoints on your route finder in SimBrief if it’s that important. Or include, if, say, you knew an airway which took you south of Pakistani airspace you wanted to use.
