resorces are not on flight aware anymore, you cant do it anymore

I just checked again as of 4/20/09 and the site was still working.

[Jacobdead]

what do you have to do plan a flight on it or something?

[lowew79]

Select recently used IFR routes and type in your origin and destination, it will give any recently filed plans (if there are any)

hi good tutorial, just got a couple of question. When i am not flying in an event and just want to take off frm one airport and land at another and there is no clearance or ground delivery who should i contact before pushback and taxi. Cause sometimes you only have the tower. Can i contact them for clearance or can i just push and contact the twr when i am by the runway. Can u pls help??? I am new to vatsim just want to practice in less busy airports b4 i take on events. thanks

It would also be TXO.UKW9 so the whole thing would be COWBY2.GUP TXO.UKW9 and obviously if it were a longer route there would be the rest of it between the SID and STAR as well as the airways and such.

I'm sure you know this, but maybe you don't know the . part.

[737Pilot122]

By the way (and this sin't your fault) the departure is typically noted COWBY2.GUP rather than COWBY2 GUP

I don't know why flight aware notes it the seccond way because the normal way is easier to keep track of

AWE is America West (now US Airways) call sign "Cactus"
