European airspace is currently undergoing many changes and the above route might become invalid with a
future navigation data update. We therefore do not recommend exchanging the navigation data delivered
with this product to a newer one until you have mastered this tutorial flight.
To reach our first waypoint (SOBRA) from Frankfurt (EDDF) we must use a SID = SOBRA1L (Standard Instrument
Departure). From all big airports there are such SIDs available depending on the takeoff-runway and first
waypoint of the flight plan. The same is valid for our arrival in Heathrow (EGLL). There are various STARs
(Standard Arrival Routes) as well as TRANS (Transitions) from the last STAR waypoint to the Final Approach
Point - FAP in case of an ILS, or to the Final Approach Fix - FAF, in case of a Non-Precision Approach available.
FAP/FAF is the point where the instrument approach begins which is at 7.5 DME from ILL DME in this tutorial.
The selection of the STAR / TRANS or VIA depends on the last waypoint of the flight plan (LOGAN) and the
landing runway (STAR = LAM3A and TRANS = LAM).
There are tools like FS Commander, PFPX or SimBrief available which you can use to prepare a flightplan and
those tools also offer an export function of flightplans to the Aerosoft A 318/319/320/321. But currently only
flightplans created with FS Commander and AivalaSoft EFB are exported including runways, SID, STAR and
TRANS/VIA. Those tools fully support the Aerosoft A318/319/320/321 flightplan functionality.
