Hello,
I have recently purchased the QW757 and im on my way to gain more ratings.... I was wondering however, where can I find these co routes to plan in the fmc?? I have not found any place on this website that offers, or on flightaware/ vataware etc...
Any help would be appreciated,
Jacob

If CO routes are the same thing as they are on the Level-D, it means they've been saved by the user. Therefore, you would have to get the creator's routes or create some and save them yourself.

Alright, I'd still like to keep this topic open I thought co routes were company routes that would be used in the fmc, but that's where my knowledge stops... I have no idea what they are really used for....

Jacob,
Imagine that an airline flies the same route daily, or indeed multiple times daily - for a speedy turn about they may store a route as a CO route so the pilots only need to enter the CO route id and the FP populates - think of it as the real world equivalent of loading an FS Flightplan into the GPS if that helps

Jacomb, you don't. The best you could do would be to request a dispatch route when you log into ACARS and then go line by line transfering it into your FMC. There are ways to transfer flight plans from FSX to the FMC, but you'd have to read the manuals on how to do that.

hi buddy
In real life COroutes are company routes saved into the FMS database for use during quick turnarounds so the pilots dont have to programe a route into the FMC every time. usefull on a long route.
In FS however they sort of do the same. in FS they are user saved routes. you build one then save it.
basicly lets say you fly ATL-BWI. you would programe your route, and save it throue the FMC. now a few weeks later you want that same route. so you enter the name of the coroute you saved, and the FMS will load it.
so basicly, you make it, save it. then its there next time. if you fly out of a hub like i do. you can save these routes every time you do a new flight. then before to long you have your own CO route database.

You can also reference page 116 of the QW manual. It will show you how to load routes from different planning programs. However you are best learning how to enter your route manually. Doing it yourself will give you a much better understand as to how it works. Then you can start doing some more advanced things like Fixes which can be valuable aids for some approaches and departures.

Some airlines, for example Air Berlin, have company routes. The flightplans actually show what to put as the coroute ID (ie: TXLDUS-MR1 or TXLCGN-D01). In most cases however, the pilots will enter the routing manually which will prevent any tiny errors that may be in a route. Sometimes it takes just as much time to review the route in the database, as it does to enter it from the start.
