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.

Procedures for Oceanic Flight. Oceanic Flight is a journey across Pacific Ocean (as known as Transpacific) or across Atlantic Ocean (as known as Transatlantic).

This summary is just for a quick reference. Let’s start it…

Above the Oceans there’s no fixed route (like airways or intersection) that you can use for crossing the ocean.There’s a route system that is to be used for crossing the ocean called The Organized Track System (OTS)

For Pacific Ocean the system known as PACOTS (Pacific Organized Track System) or for Atlantic Ocean known as  NAT (North Atlantic Track). These tracks are changing daily usualy at 0000z and 1200z.
So the flight planning of the route is only can be done at the day you will fly. The most factor these track system is changing is caused by current weather on that day. Read the rest of this entry »
