I've flown this flight twice in the last two days, and each time I get the RED flag for over time. I'm using the sim brief route of:
LYD5T LYD UM189 DRAKE UL151 SITET UN859 LGL UT190 GODIX UN872 INBAB UN864 PEPET UP152 NENEM N867 MAPAX MAPA1Q
Perhaps this route needs a time adjustment. Note: the return leg of ICX529 simbrief route is:BISK3A BISKA DCT DESAB UN873 ARDOD UZ15 ROLEN UT176 LGL UN859 DVL/N0321F230 DCT WAFFU
and this time is green. Not a big deal I guess, but I guess a little anxious when I get the RED flags.
Given the constraints of standard routing and SIDs, it is difficult to get a compliant route for this. LYD is a long way out though, so if ATC don't give you a shortcut you're heading in the wrong direction for quite some time, I think a CPT SID might result in a shorter route.
From CPT you can use the Y321 and Q41 to reach SAM and from there join the N621/UN621, which I think is compliant and should be short enough to get back you on schedule and allow you on one of the following routes:
SAM UN621 BASIK UN90 NOVAN UN864 PEPET UP152 NENEM N867 MAPAX
SAM UN621 ARE UN864 PEPET UN864 DELOG G23 DOSUL
I'll take a look at alternate routing. I usually grab the first route that simbrief displays. Perhaps not always the best choice.
Generally I find SimBrief pretty good but occasionally it will throw a curve ball so I generally check a few routing websites and see what looks optimal
Good idea, will check some of the other routes to try to stay in the green. 8)
Good afternoon, Chris.
Somehow I got a few copies of the ICX826 flight to Copenhagen, also shown on the home page. I must have hit the send report button too many times or something. Is there any way to delete the copies?
Whoops! I'll remove the duplicates now for you!
