Line Up and Wait
After a little over 10 hours of VFR flight since my 14 year lapse from flying, I need to complete an Instrument IPC so I'm doing some prep homework. When I paused from flying in 03', GPS approaches etc. were just coming on line, so I need to bone up on the new to me GPS en-route and approach IFR procedures. I'm flying an Archer with GTN650 GPS.
In Duats while filing an IFR flight plan, there are choices for routing. The FAA preferred routing for my trip comes up blank. However, when I select 'Get Duats Routes' I get the following
Virtual Flight is M02-KBWG
Recommended Routes:
Low Altitude Route: Use this Route
CEBDA V49 TANDS
GPS Direct Route: Use this Route
CKV120021
GPS Direct Route - Without Fixes: Use this Route
Direct
The low en-route Is clear. But the GPS direct route is where I have a couple questions
- When looking at CKV, is that the town Clarksville? Or the Clarksville airport or the Clarksville VOR?
- And what does the number sequence 120021 after CKV represent under the GPS Direct route?
Thanks in advance for the help
