airway endpoints.
Notes on the Plain Language Routing Method
• You can also use this method to insert a new segment into an existing route.
FliteDeck tries to place the new segment at the most geographically
appropriate location in the existing route. You can adjust the insertion point
with the Move Up and Move Down arrows.
• FliteDeck intelligently handles new route segments that overlap the current
route. If the beginning and ending waypoints of the route segment match
waypoints in the current route, FliteDeck replaces all waypoints in the
segment of the current route with the newly entered segment. Otherwise,
FliteDeck does not remove waypoints from the existing route, and you may
need to manually delete some waypoints.
• You can enter RNAV waypoints. See
