Title: Opposite Directon To Destination
Post by: Tailwinds on December 18, 2009, 08:02:48 PM
I've just spotted this aircraft flying in what appears to be the opposite direction of his stated destination as seen on the ANRB. Seen over Detling VOR (UK), at approx 19.50 this evening heading South away from London Stanstead (EGSS). Is there something I have to do myself in the database?

Addendum....I am not on the Network. Just using my own antenna.

FDX36
N521FE MD11
FL134
KIND - EGSS

Ive had this a few times, especially shuttle flights and Atlantic flights out of
Heathrow. I live in the centre of England so get a lot of these flights overhead.

FDX 36 according to Flytecom routes KIND-ESSS-LFPG. To show correctly you need to edit the field in routes database ND = LFPG, and NV = EGSS

And if a flight has more than 2 legs, as some do, you're stuffed.  :-)

So I select Database Explorer, select "Routes" where it says "Select Table", along the top, then select "ND" at the bottom where it says "Field", then what?.....please.

Beware, you could find that a full time job. I have many aircraft showing incorrect routing information. It may well be due to the change from summer schedules to winter schedules and the AN route database not being upto date.
Wrong routes entirely, origin/destination information being the wrong way round, there all there.
