Hey Vlad!
Why don't you use these guys?
https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/common/nat.html
You can input the lat/lon into the route manager in format: lon comma lat
So for 50N20W, -20,50

Though as they change daily, it may be best to just plan the route to a VOR or fix close to the west coast of Ireland, or near Halifax, and then add the tracks on the day.
Thanks again,
Jonathan

Te file looks good :) however... I am not sure if FG route manager allows you to insert waypoints with that format :/
You know me from youtube :)

Vlad; wait, let me explain.
Every day there are specific tracks pilots fly along across the Atlantic.... think of them as highways.
They are published in that site.
So, you look at that site on the day, then you put them in.
Say today....
I flew across today, and IIRC, it was DINIM 50N20W, 48N30W, 46N40W, 45N50W TUSKY.

So, you just put this into the route manager:
Code: Select all
DINIM -20,50 -30,48, -40,46 -50,45 TUSKY


I keep telling people about the lat/lon and eg 21/280/SFO for radial 280, 21 DME, of SFO VOR and they don't believe me... :lol:
It works!

So, best just use rfinder.asalink.net/free/ on the day and post the waypoints via Mumble chat

Well, yeah, obviously, you can go direct GPS.
Just don't try not to use the NAT TRACKS, as you will extend a 3000nm flight into a 6000+nm ordeal.
