ProFlight 2000 will drop VORs and waypoints near the airports (10
miles from Departure, 15 miles from Destination) and they will not ap-
pear on the ProFlight 2000 Flight Plan. It is a good practice to make
a copy of the FS9/FSX flight plan as it will show those VOR frequancies
for navigation.
Important Notes
The flight plan route should be to the IAF (Initial Approach Fix) It is
from this point that you will be cleared or vectored. This IAF can be
found on the Approach Plate for the runway in use. If the IAF is not
availible make your route to the nearest VOR.
It is best to assign altitudes to your waypoints. When compiling the
flight plan ProFlight 2000 will give you the option to do so. Here are
some guide lines which I have found work best for me:-
Set the TOD waypoint the same as the „Previous waypoint“.
Step down your decent by select two or three waypoints be-
fore the destination and progressivily lower your altitude. This
will make for a smoother decent.
Set your last waypoint at 4000 ft. AGL. If you don‘t do this you
may find yourself too low too far out.
With some Departures it may be better if you also step your
climb.
Prior to compiling your flight plan, be sure you have set the
„Contact Center Altitude“.
This is the altitude that Departure will hand you off to Center.
Here in the USA that altitude is usually 5000 ft AGL
