The Flight Plan

We will be taking off from KEYW at Runway 09 and flying to MARCI fix before starting to the main
route, then we will follow a series of airway waypoints across Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina and
into Raleigh where we will start our ILS approach to Runway 05L into Raleigh-Durham. Cruise altitude
will be FL350.
This flight takes around 2 to 3 hours in the air to complete – here you can change the sim rate to
speed up the cruise portion of the flight. There are no saved flights included with the tutorial because
we want to show you how to do it all from scratch.
A Note on FMC NavData: Remember this aircraft utilizes default FS navigation database! If you
would like to update navaids and other information, read the FMS section of the User Manual –
Product Overview chapter. The data does change over time and thus certain aspects of the route in
this tutorial can end up changing with newer data or removing obsolete data. We will explain here
how to insert those waypoints you may find they are inexistent in the default database but present in
navigation charts or any third-party flight planner. This can be useful for other routes as well.
