SimBrief gives “DURMA” SID’s when 33’s runway config is in use in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It generates “DURM1K” which does not exist. DURMA is only used when 15’s are in use. Instead, UMASU shall be used when 33’s are in use, as it joins the same airway as DURMA.
Hi,
Which AIRAC cycle do you use?
Kind regards,
Olaf
Hi Olaf!
I’m using AIRAC 2413.
To have up-to-date navdata, you need to have a Navigraph Subscription. In AIRAC2510 (the latest), the mentioned procedures are not available anymore.
I still sometimes, as a VATSIM controller get quite a lot of traffic with incorrect SID’s, primarily from people going from OERK-OEJN. If this is something you can update for AIRAC 2413 would be great.
Thanks for your time. ![]()
If you are able to change the first waypoint based on active runway configuration, that would be awesome !
Hi,
As Olaf wrote, you (and your pilots) should use the latest AIRAC cycle (in this case, now 2510) to be in sync with the real world. When using an outdated cycle, as in your case, 2413, you must expect issues.
Here are the SIDs for 33´s out of OERK from SimBrief with AIRAC 2510:
Please advise your pilots to use the latest/effective AIRAC cycle for their flight planning to ensure consistency with you as the controller.
I hope that helps,
Richard
