Aerowinx Route files documentation

[felixk2]

Is there any documentation describing the Aerowinx route files that the FMC uses?

I want to create my own, but I can't understand what the following lines mean:

AbEN00*___'''0.73226094/-1.253916'0'0'0';
AbEN00*___'''0.73226094/-1.253916'0'0'0';
AbEN00*___PUT'''0.73226094/-1.253916'0'0'0';
AbEN00*___BOS'J42''0.73927695/-1.2390014'0'0'0';

i mean i get some of it, but would be nice to know what everything here means...

Thanks
Felix

It's not documented yet.

Is it urgent?

Not urgent. I'm thinking about building a website to allow people to create their own routes so I wanted to be able to generate these route files from the site.

If you can decode one line for me, at least that will give me enough to get started.

What does the following mean:

AbEN00*___PUT'''0.73226094/-1.253916'0'0'0';

Thanks!

Do you want to create enroute waypoints only, or conditional waypoints as well?

Do you want to include waypoint wind/temp data too?

[felixk2]

Just enroute waypoints for now, no wind/temp data. I'll add more stuff once the documentation is out.

For enroute legs:


1. character: route type:
A : Enroute

2. character: path terminator:
b : Track to a fix

3. character: turn direction:
E : Shortest turn

4. character: turn direction valid:
N : No

5. character: speed limit type:
0 : Off

6. character: altitude limit type:
0 : Off

7. character: reserved:
* :

8. character: fly-by:
_ :

9. character: 1. missed approach leg:
_ :

10. character: missed approach point:
_ :

11. character to 1. apostrophe: fix identifier

Between 1. and 2. apostrophes: airway identifier

Between 2. and 3. apostrophes: transition identifier

Between 3. and 4. apostrophes: latitude/longitude radians

After longitude radians end the text line with '0'0'0';

End the route with:

Code Select Expand

AbEN00*___'''0.0/0.0'0'0'0';

[End of file]

Perfect! Thank you.

I'd like to draw a Christmas tree route.
Since then is there any documentation or website to create my own GPS-coordinates-based route?

Thank you
