B777 tutorial: Company route

I've had several questions over part 2 of the PSS777 series on how to enter the company route so here's a short tutorial on how it's done.

What i mean is the Saving part.

No. The flightplan is normally datalinked directly to the FMC so the flight crew simply needs to enter the route name to load the route.

[LordAlwinTHC]

Does this happens in real life?

[jimfwh]

Yeah I know. It's just that I already have a database of SQ routes in FS so it's just easier to load it directly :)

[bravonismo]

U must match the correct AIRAC cycle. If your PSS is 0604, then you can select 0604 in the website and it will generate it, you can't use 0905 if your PSS database is not 0905.

For short routes it's ok, but for very long routes e.g. SIN-MAN it can be a pain. In addition some of the airways/waypoints aren't in the PSS database.

Why don't you just manually enter the airways and waypoints? It shouldn't take that long...

[jimfwh]

Yes I've tried routefinder, but there's no way to export the route to FS unless you subscribe to the full version :( so I stick to the FS planner.

[bravonismo]

Yup I'm currently using that link. I actually discovered this co route accidentally when I type in the co route name, and out of sudden all the routes appear in the RTE page (I was using the same name to save the route I previously typed in). LOL

[RixceU]

Hey, have you tried rfinder[dot]asalink[dot]net/fr­ee?

It does a pretty good job and gives you waypoints and airways to enter into the RTE.

Anyway, thanks for clearing up that. I used to just ignore the CO ROUTE, I always entered in the route manually from the above source. But now I know I can save routes to make things faster.
