Well that explains it! I am a moron! :) I meant "T" routes... Fixed my original post...

Educate Me on T Routes I am trying to get a better understanding of how to utilize T routes. I'm based at a non-controlled airport that has several T routes nearby. Every time I have filed attempting to fly them, the clearance I get back is always a low altitude airway. It may be due to the...

Thanks for the confirmation of this. What was troubling was the FlightAware record of the flight. It showed the proposed route, not the filed route. Hence, the reason for my questions and concern. Dang new technology!

Shawn, I just read the Pilot manual. It doesn't mention changing what you filed, only as you suggest, your flight plan in the app. I have always accepted the proposal but always expected the actual route provided to be different. It was just strange to hear "as filed" considering the airspace I...

Good question Shawn. I have been using Pilot before the "proposed" stuff showed up in the app. I will need to read the section on it again, but I think it will change what you have on the iPad to match what ATC proposes but won't change what you filed (at least I hope it works this way). I can't...

I think you're right. I think it is a proposal from ATC that gets spit out by some computer. When I accepted the ATC Proposed on the way out, the actual clearance I picked up on the ground was different than the proposed they sent me. In fact, it didn't look like anything close to what I filed...

Seriously? I know what I filed. It was sitting in front of me on my iPad when I made the air call to get the clearance. They came with "cleared as filed". There was no comment from the initial controller who gave me the "as filed" clearance nor any other controller along the route. I only...

With new technology, comes new challenges... I filed two IFR flight plans for a trip over the weekend. I filed these using Garmin Pilot, one for my departure airport and one for the return flight from the destination airport. If ATC proposes a change, Garmin Pilot sends back a ATC Proposed...

The flight I am on is Sunday evening. There is a flight (same aircraft type) that was supposed to arrive tomorrow at my departure airport (PHL). It is the same flight number as my return flight next Saturday. I was curious if this is the exact same plane as the one being used on Sunday evening...

Thanks for the information and the links. Do you guys know how the city pairings go on long haul flights? Do they use the same plane and is it likely to be there a day before the return flight? The reason I ask is that the flight from Europe to the city I am leaving from is already cancelled...

I have a flight scheduled to Europe on Sunday evening with Lufthansa. The flight will be to Germany and a connecting to Spain. Anyone know the situation with their negotiations?

I have some time in a IV-P. The plane has an aggressive roll rate and coupled with blistering speed, it wouldn't take much for someone to get behind it. It is also the only piston that I have flown that will hit the below 10k speed limit with plenty of throttle to spare. Approach speeds are...

Thanks for the replies. I like your analogy of the windows Ron. Makes it easy to understand. Are the TEC routes published somewhere? Do the TEC routes have specific altitudes limits? In other words, if I file high enough, will I get different routing?

Hello again. I posted in the summer about upgrading my plane with an Aspen PFD and a Garmin GTN (650). Well, I gone off and done it! I got my plane back a month ago and I absolutely love the new found capability. The biggest challenge was learning how to operate the equipment. My first...

Hi John. I found the section in the manual that talks about the Arc mode and the back course notation on the scale in the HSI area. The ARC CDI Compass mode’s CDI and Scale are located at the bottom of the lower display. The indicator is a green diamond, and the scale is a set of four hollow...

Thanks for the reply John. When you say "Arc" mode are you referring to the 100 degree mode you can select as opposed to the 360 compass rose with the HSI in the middle? I was pretty certain we did not change to that mode, but for all I know, I might have fat fingered it for a moment.

I posted on another thread that I am looking to upgrade my plane with a Garmin GTN/Aspen combination. I am fortunate that a friend of mine recently upgraded his to a similar configuration and I had a chance to fly it last night. The airport is uncontrolled and out in the country a bit, so I was...

LOL.... Thanks!

Thanks John. Would flying to the Bahamas be considered "oceanic operations"? Could explain why 1 shop felt I needed two.

Thank you! I will take some time to read up on it. Whole new world for me...
