Airways support is a powerful innovation. It greatly simplifies entering
and revising flight plans. For instance, the pilot enters a DUATS-generated
great circle route:
BED
BOSOX V1 CCV PHF
…instead
of all the fixes from Hanscom Field, Bedford MA to Newport News, VA.
ATC issues an IFR clearance modified for Boston and New York traffic
flow:
BED
WHYBE V1 GRAYM V14 ORW V16 JFK V1 CCV PHF
…is
a simple replacement. TeleType GPS is not certified for IFR primary
navigation and approaches. Use it for flight planning, monitoring and
post-flight review.
