RE: A Question for Wysiwyg
AU – Otherwise known as “ALFA UNIFORM” is like the airway designater – the first part of its name. For example outbound traffic off off 14 at Leeds climbing towards UPTON en route to the east (Amsterdam for example) climb onto an airway designated UB1, but locally it is more commonly known as Bravo 1 – thats the jist of it as far as i known anyway!
A flight plan for example from Leeds to Paris CDG could run a routing of EGNM – POL1W – POL – UY98 – BARTN – UA1 – WOD – UA47 – SFD – UM605 – DPE3W – LFPG
This route translates roughly to Leeds Bradford Airport, onto a POLE HILL 1 WHISKEY Departure (otherwise known as a SID – Standard instrument departure which is a designated climb out routing) to POL – Pole hill. From POL hill a turn will be made onto the airway UY98 for a short trip to the BARTN intersection – funnily enough above Manchester Barton Aerodrome! at Barton onto the Airway UA1 – which routes down overhead HON – Honily down u’re way to WOD, Woodley VOR, then onto Airway UA47 to SFD (Seaford)onto UM605 to DPE. Once at DPE we will then follow a STAR – STandard Arrival Routing ( a precise routing into LFPG) and we will then arrive at CDG!!
Tadaaaaaaaaaaa!!
