KENET2M SID Gatwick Problem


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I am using AIRAC 1107 Rev 2 in EFB and selected the KENET2M SID from 26L at Gatwick (EGKK). The route from 26L bypasses Midhurst, does a quick 180 and comes back to Midhurst before continuing to D10.0.

 

Not sure if this is a EFB problem or Navigraph ?

Hi Glen,

 

from my point of view it's a Navigraph related issue. If you have a look into the file "EGKK.txt" (in folder "[FSX]\AivlaSoft\SIDSTARS") you will notice that four SIDs (HARD5M, HARD5V, KENE2M and KENE2V) are described like " ... TRK 259 UNTIL 10.5 FROM FIX MID ...". In my opinion it should be " ... TO FIX ..." instead of "... FROM ...".

If you change these 4 items, then reset the airport data cache (System -> Settings -> Miscellaneous -> Reset airport data cache) and reload the airport.

Hi Urs

 

Many thanks for your reply :)

 

I have changed the 'FROM' to a 'TO' as you advised, and for EFB it has fixed the problem. However, I checked the PMDG SID files which also said 'FROM' and loaded up the PMDG 737 in FS2004 so I could see a pictorial representation of the SID (KENET2M) on the nav display screen, but that showed correctly with the 'FROM' still in place ??

 

So it appears only EFB needs a 'TO' instruction at this point in the SID's text file - how strange.

There are a few problems with this TXT file, two more fixes also for this file highlighted in blue. Urs beat me to the othe two. I have just flown the KENET2M with the IFLY and no problems with the navdata or navigraph since i amended the txt file for the SID
