Does that estimated time enroute allow for:
- Limited to 250 knots from 6268 ft to 10,000 ft after departure
- Reduced speed during remainder of climb
- Not cruising at 100% throttle so other planes can catch up with the lead plane instead of being strung out in a line so far apart the trailing plane can't even see the multiplayer tag for the lead plane
At 300 kt cruise speed that might take almost a full hour, not allowing the additional time between different planes takeoffs and landings.
Is tha PRB waypoint part of a published approach? If a plane is flying VFR would there be any reason not to fly directly to CREPE from ROM? And if runway 29 is the active runway at KSBP wouldn't we substitute an intersection ESE of KSBP for CREPE too?
Is it normal in the real world to include aproach waypoints in the filed plight plan, or to refer to the onboard plates once the controler assigns the flight to an destination airport runway? With the new GPS units in FS 2004 we now have approach procedures available during flight, although I'm not sure to what extent the autopilot will respond to a procedure selected during the flight.
Sounds like some interesting scenery though.
