As I have seen, many routes generated by PFPX, SimBrief, LittleNavMap or others, would be unacceptable to a real Concorde pilot.
So here are some tips for creating conforming routes:

  • Never include SIDs and STARs in your routes.
  • These procedures include many navigation points and are unmanageable in the INS.
    the first navigation point must be a point giving its name to the SID, for example.
  • Same thing for STARs.The last point must be a point giving its name to the STAR for example.
  • The distance between waypoints should be as far apart as possible, especially on the supersonic part of the flight.
These tips will help you avoid spending your time entering flight points in the INS or loading ADEU cards.

(This advice was given to me by BĂ©atrice Vialle, former Concorde pilot and friend, now retired captain on B747 freighter.)
