Practical examples
The examples below are designed for simulation (VATSIM) and serve as a consistency reference.
Example 1 — Local VFR (low height)
| Item | Entry | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | PTABC | Registration (up to 7) |
| 8 | V/G | VFR / General Aviation |
| 9 | 1/C172/L | 1 aircraft, type, wake category |
| 10 | S/C | Standard + transponder as applicable |
| 13 | SBSP 1400 | Departure + EOBT (UTC) |
| 15 | VFR | Outside the table → detail in RMK |
| 16 | SBSP 0045 | Local + total duration |
| 18 | RMK/1500FT AGL LOCAL | Height/location detail |
| 19 | (when required) | Usually omitted in simulation |
Example 2 — Domestic IFR (with airways)
| Item | Entry | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | GLO1866 | Airline + number |
| 8 | I/S | IFR / Scheduled |
| 9 | 1/B738/M | B738, medium wake category |
| 10 | SG/C | S + GNSS (when applicable) |
| 13 | SBGR 2230 | Departure + EOBT |
| 15 | N0475 F350 DCT ... | Speed, level, route |
| 16 | SBRJ 0055 SBSP SBGL | Destination+EET + alternates |
| 18 | DOF/260117 | Date of flight |
In the route, replace
...with the actual fixes/airways from your planning (e.g. SimBrief/Navigraph).
