Flying from Atlanta to Bostonwith TeleType GPS KLZU to KBED May 27, 2005
Pre-Flight Planning • AOPA DUATS Flight Planner showed good tailwinds, 5.5 hours enroute • Piper Turbo Arrow N47912 has 7 hours fuel • St. Mary's County Airport (2W6) is half way • Good refueling stop along route, VFR expected • Will pass 2W6 before sunset • Stay there often • ATE + TTG > 6.0 hours is "BINGO" • ATE + TTG are Actual Time Enroute + Time To Go • BINGO: mission rule refuel stop time limit • Flew non-stop, refueling stop not needed
DUATS Flight Plan • Requested LZU to BED • DUATS approximates great circle route • Does not generate FAA preferred routes CORCE V222 BZM V20 COLIN V213 RBVV123 LGA V433BDR V229 DVANY V1 WHYB • Manually change to previous clearance route CORCE V222 BZM V20 COLIN V16 JFK V229HFD DREEM • 11,000 ft to take advantage of tailwinds • Cleared as filed!
Entering Flight Plan Route • Start by Clearing route • Enter origin airport • In Airport text box, K-prefix is optional
Enter First Waypoint • Flight plan has CORCEintersection • Clearance will say"Radar Vectors to Sugarloaf", skipping CORCE and ODF

Enter Pairs of Vnnn and Fixes • Check current fix, enternext Vnnn and fix • Updated MagneticBearings (MBG) andDistances providesanity checks • Out-of-order entries willhave obviously wrongheadings and distances
Victor Airways Reduce Work • BZM V20 COLIN expands to insertSBV RIC TAPPA
Preferred Route Past NYC • COLIN V16 JFK is theFAA preferred route • Altitude assignment willbe 7000 feet over JFK
Preferred Route After NYC • Dog leg to PUGGS avoids LGA traffic • Controllers often "Clear direct to HFD" whenBDR and HFD arealigned, straight lineto DREEM
Final Fix Before Destination • V229 ends at DVANY • DREEM is on extendedHFD R053 • After HFD, enter directto DREEM waypoint
Enter Destination Airport • Hanscom Field, BedfordMassachusetts

Review Flight at 50nm Scale • Takeoff on RW25 • Departure gave radarvectors • Then cleared direct to Sugarloaf
Up the Coast • Over Virginia • By Atlantic City

Conclusion • TTGPS is very handy and intuitive to use • Victor Airways support eases pilot workload • In-flight calculations improve situational awareness and safety • Trace information aids post-flight review • Turn anticipation is a technology demonstration that shows how computing power can augment GPS
