Simbrief is broken. Navigraph must be the tool for exporting flight plans directly into MCDU.
Because the MCDU is importing from Simbrief, when there is a Simbrief vs Navigraph conflict, you basically must replicate the SID/STARS part into MCDU from Navigraph.
So we have:
- Create a fight plan in Navigraph (this tool is awesome for this task)
- Go to Simbrief, strip the SIDs/STARs and create another flight plan
- Go to MCDU, import the flight plan from Simbrief
- Modify into MCDU the flight plan by manually copying the SIDs/STARs from Navigraph into MCDU’s flight plan.
Isn’t supposed technology to make our life easier? If not why do we use it?
Get rid of the Simbrief. Is useless. Link Navigraph routes directly into MCDU.
Make a button in Navigraph to export directly into MCDU.
