Ignore Airway directions Some airways are unidirectional; i.e.
the airway may only be flown in a
certain direction. The route finder will
usually adhere to these limitations.
Check this box to ignore directional
limitations.
Non-RNAV Some airways may require area
navigation (RNAV) equipment to be
used to meet navigational
requirements. If an aircraft is not
RNAV equipped check this box to
find routes allowing conventional
navigation to be used.
• Route Optimizations
You are able to optimize your route and to state which airways,
waypoints, flight information regions (FIRs) and/or upper infor-
mation regions (UIRs) to avoid in calculating a route.
Note: When planning in the European environment, Quebec
and Upper-Quebec airways (e.g. Q200, UQ20) are usually only
available on certain days or under certain circumstances only. To
filter these airways in the route finder use ‘UQ*’ and ‘Q*’ in the
avoidance list. The same applies for Zulu and Upper-Zulu airways
(e.g. Z20 and UZ20).
Airport properties
PFPX Airport properties allow modifying airport characteristics and plan-
ning data, specifying preferred runways and destination alternate air-
ports, average taxi times and Company NOTAMs.
