steve_2884 0 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi all, Having an issue when building routes in the oceanic regions, PFPX (1.28) is changing the format of the LAT/LON waypoints (see image below). I understand the correct format should be like N62W020. but no how matter I try entering the way point in wants to change to format to an incorrect format and subsequently fails CFMU validation. I have a feeling the route won't export correctly either. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Any help is greatly appreciated. ta Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpgmultimodal 61 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hello Steven, I think you should enter in ICAO format: ........ GOMUP DCT 6000N02000W 6200N03000W 6300N04000W 6400N05000W DCT CLAVY ............ Regards, JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_2884 0 Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Many thanks JP, this has worked. I never had this issue before, so can only presume that it might be something to do with latest NavDatePro data? ta Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budbud 4 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hello, There is definitely something with the LAT/LONG format in pfpx recently. I have the same problem as the OP no matter how I enter the waypoint in the flight plan. Whether I right click on the chart to select them or enter them manually in the route with the ICAO format, PFPX converts them all into this weird format. By the way, when hovering the cursor above a waypoint on the chart, the lat/long also appears that way in the waypoint info box. Is it link with the Navdatapro or come from the latest pfpx update? I'm preparing a oceanic route between LFPG and KJFK and there is no way to get a correctly displayed flight plan, which blocks the CFMU validation as well. Thanks. EDIT: I can have a correct route but it means I have to correct the format of all the lat/long waypoint once the route has been built and rebuild the route. It is really tedious!

srcooke 422 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 It is not possible to investigate the navigation data format, could you however post a snapshot of the waypoint information: Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srcooke 422 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 As the AIRAC data is encoded I cannot check if the formatting you see comes from the Aerosoft LIDO data, hopefully the Aerosoft team can check. The format you have using AS: N55 00 W020 00 data is incorrect and hence the IFPS validation rejection. If this is formatted as N5500W02000 it will clear. However further issues arise when validating the EETP and associated time entry, N5500W020000212 will fail whereas using 5500N02000W02012 clears. I'm no expert in the field but the ICAO format appears to be incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budbud 4 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Yes, that is the problem, the lat/long format is wrong inside pfpx. My guess is that the problem would have appeared after the last AIRAC 1613 because my last flight plan with lat/long waypoints is dated 26/11 so with the AIRAC 1612 and I don't recall having had any issue with the format. I will check if I can go back to the 1612 (I think I have backed up the nav database with navdatapro). Then I will try to reinstall the 1613 to see if it changes something.

Budbud 4 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Hello, I think the issue with the lat/long format comes from the Navdatapro AIRAC. I have tested installing the AIRAC 1613 from Navigraph and the waypoints formats seem to be correct. When reinstalling the AIRAC from Navdatapro, the issue appears again Can someone from PFPX and Aerosoft check together if they can confirm the issue is there and fix it? Thanks.

Budbud 4 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Hi, As posted also on the Navdatapro forum, I haven't had any update from the issue with the Lat/long format with Navdatapro. The ticket to the support is closed stated the problem would be followed on the forum. Any idea from someone work on either software please?

Owepilot 1 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Hi, I am having the same format error with AIRAC 1210 and 1302, and when hovering a wpt in PFPX it shows the format correct e.g. 5520N. I am using 1.27 for the moment, som y 50 cents is that it is a PFPX bug/feature... Owe Wiktorsso SAS108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the format as supplied by NG as posted above there is no issue, ie 52N020W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owepilot 1 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yes and it works, the strange thing is that when reading the OFP, the format is correct and that works well also when inserting the wpt into FMGC on my bus. As I am flying with Scandinavian Virtual, we have a SVATT-NG tool which creates a .pln, when pating the route created with PFPX, I need to correct the lat/long wpt's to the aforementioned format. My AIRAC is Navigraph... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 5520N fails as does N55 00 W020 00 : Please login to display this image. whereas 55N020W will pass, you can see the difference in data pictured in Romains post: Please login to display this image.

srcooke 422 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Acceptable IFPS format: Quote Geographical co-ordinates shall consist of either: 2 degrees latitude followed by 3 degrees longitude, or 2 degrees and 2 minutes latitude followed by 3 degrees and 2 minutes longitude or by 2 degrees, 2 minutes and 2 seconds latitude followed by 3 degrees, 2 minutes and 2 seconds longitude.

Owepilot 1 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 For clarification, I mean possible to enter into the FMGC on the bus. There is a format difference for ATC plan and how to enter in a FMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budbud 4 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi, The issue remains with the AIRAC 1702, no change. I have switched to Navigraph AIRAC 1702 and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
