Creating a Route Using Plain Language Routing
If you know the identifiers of all the waypoints you want in your trip, you can create
a route in a just a couple of steps:
1. On the Plan page, click Routes (F12) and then New Route (F8).
2. Clear any text from the Enter Waypoint text box.
3. Type all the waypoint identifiers into the Enter Waypoint text box separated
by a space. Use any of the following auto-routing methods:
• Direct Routing — To create a direct route or specify direct routing
from one waypoint to another, enter the waypoints in order separated
by a space. If you are accustomed to entering specific terminology
between each waypoint to designate a direct route, you can enter
DCT, GPS or LORAN between the waypoints. In the example below,
the route could have been entered as KPDX DCT LKV LOW KLAS
VNA AMBRR AMBRR.BLH4 KPHX. Direct routes follow the shortest
path from one waypoint to another with no intermediate stops. For
direct routing, ensure your altitude clearances are appropriate by
viewing the Profile View in the Enroute Nav page (see Setting the
Altitude Along the Route and Profile View for additional information).
