N201MKTurbo Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 OK, Who's going to be the first to draw a picture of a Mooney? Quote
Piloto Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 It needed to be that big due to the speed to allow drawing the corners. The picture was download to the FMS and then coupled to the autopilot. Impressive navigation performance and endurance. Try that Airbus. José Quote
thinwing Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 They forgot to draw the landing gear, Quote
LANCECASPER Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 I hope they uploaded the flight plan electronically rather than reading all of that over the phone to a briefer. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE4/history/20170803/0448Z/KBFI/KBFI/route 1 Quote

jetdriven Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Someone has to make a flight plan with all the lat/long coordinates to define the shape, then that gets sent to sabre then uplinked from ACARS. or you can do it the old fashioned way by hand programming the lat/long in the format N25343/W070143 Edited August 3, 2017 by jetdriven Quote
carusoam Posted August 3, 2017 Report Posted August 3, 2017 I sense some form of MS challenge... Titled GPSS test... -a- Quote
