Creating flight plan on TAD from Mark points, and changing elevation and TOT

[Andrew u.k.]

Currently I'm practicing making a new flight plan using Mark points from the TAD.

 

This is relatively simple and this video helped a lot.

 

 

With the new flight plan set up, is it possible to edit the waypoints for elevation and TOT? I can't see how to do it.

 

Cheers Andrew

Just select the desired steerpoint that you created from a markpoint, go to the STEER page on the CDU and then click on the relative OSB for the '> Waypoint' function.

You'll find all the relevant steerpoint data in there.

Thanks, I'll take a look when I get home.

As well as seeing the waypoint info, am I able to edit it and change the elevation etc?

Affirmative.

Excellent, I'm looking forward to trying this.

 

Is it possible to transmit a flight plan to the members of the multiplayer flight through SADL?

Interesting idea!

 

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way of achieving this, other than talking it through over the radio.

 

It's possible to send waypoints (more precisely: the SPI) to other SADL members, though, but not as a connected flight plan.

Yes I'm thinking along those lines.

 

Each flight member has a new flight plan ready to with waypoint to be inserted.

Then flight leader broadcast spi, each member marks spi point and calls out on radio , 2a, 3a 4a.

 

Then flight leader transmits next spi/waypoint and flight calls out again 2b, 3b, 4b etc.

 

Then just a simple case of flight adding mark points to the new fp.

We do this. Broadcast SPI and use the @?1 OSB on the TAD. You step through a series of points quick and it's not that hard to sequence it into a flight plan, name it, etc.

 

 

I used to use mark points as an intermediary but you can shorten the process.

 

 

 

Be aware there are waypoint properties and flight plan point properties. The same waypoint can occur multiple times with different properties like DTOT.

This is a cool idea, don't know why i didn't think of it. I do something like this all the time when JTAC assigns me a final attack heading. I generate a waypoint at the TAD location from the message, then select that waypoint and set the course on the HSI. It didn't occur to me I could essentially do the same thing JTAC does with my flight.

That's a cool way to do it. :thumbup:
