I have posted the PACOTS Tutorial several times ago. Thanks to Mr. Adhika Lee who have made these tutorial. Now Lets try to fly it. I will write this in a very simple way without any images.

How to enter the PACOTS coordinate to Airbus FMGC?
Okay, I will use the old PACOTS Route that I’ve used for my flight from VHHH to PHNL. The Routes are:

OCEAN V2 ELATO A1 APU G587 ROBIN R583 LEKOS M750 MJE PETAL OTR14 ACQUA OTR15 MORAY 36N150E 36N160E 28N170E 25N180E 22N170W HOOPA KATHS OPACA

I assume that you have already know and set your FMGC with the active runway and the departure (SID). The steps is very simple. Check it out:

  • You will depart from VHHH Hongkong and follow the route as usual.
  • Now mark this: You will exit your usual route at MORAY. Now…click at MORAY on your Left side FMGC keys.
  • The first PACOTS route is 36N150E. Now type on the scratchpad 360000N/1500000E (Enter the number and add four zeroes behind it) and enter this to “NEXT WPT” on the Right key. Done!
  • You will see LL01 as your first PACOTS fix below MORAY intersection on F-PLAN page.

Next you can proceed by yourself by entering next PACOTS fix in the same way. And you will see LL02, LL03, and so on and so on… for the next PACOTS fix that you’ve made. After you reach the end of these PACOTS route you can enter HOOPA KATHS and OPACA. Just enter them directly without Airways. HOOPA is your entry at Honolulu airspace, and from here you can resume by your own navigation captain and happy landing at Honolulu Airport!

I hope you can understand with my simple tutorial. Any Question please write on the comments field.

Very Interesting livery…I saw this Air Asia livery when I went to Kuala Lumpur last October this year and I feel challenged to make one of it in my Flight Simulator’s Airbus. Air Asia as a sponsor of the Williams F1 team uniquely paint their Airbus A320 to look like an F1 car that used by at&t Williams F1 team. On front fuselage, cockpit area, this aircraft has painted like Nico Rosberg’s racing helmet, with “Williams” signature in tribute to Sir Frank Williams, Team Principal of Williams. Also tyres on aircraft’s belly makes this aircraft as a flying F1.

Nico Rosberg said: “It has been incredible to see the AT&T Williams livery on AirAsia’s plane. I’m delighted that the design of my helmet, which I have been racing with all my life, has been used to create a lasting tribute to the team’s partnership with Air Asia.” 

Kazuki Nakajima has added: “I am very impressed at how well the Williams Toyota FW30’s design has translated to the SFW30 Airbus. I think we would all like to thank AirAsia for this great venture and we are proud to be associated with the Airline of the Year 2007. This is indeed a source of inspiration to both of us going into the Malaysian Grand Prix this weekend.”

Please enjoy this special Air Asia livery with registration 9M-AFW for Wilco/Feelthere Airbus Vol.1. Go to download page and go race!
