Now, finally I learned something... :) Thank's man, that was great!

Really excellent, crisp, informative, to the point video! Audio and overall presentation is very professional. Others making similar videos should listen to this.

thank you from greece. you are the best man . thanks for your time

Another great video.

Excellent briefing, Thank you

Fabulous explanation! Many thanks

every day is a learning day,nicely explained thanks.

Thanks for sharing Captain.

Very helpful thanks 👍

Wonderful tutorial... Thanks so much.

its always a pleasure to watch your work Captain, keep up the good work

Brillantissime!!! Thank you!

You are my best youtuber

Another big help for me. Thanks a million, Osamah :)

Very helpful thanks

Shukran, ya ikhwah. Ma'a salaam.

Thank you for the tutorial, I learned a lot just now.

Gr8 as always. Thank you.

Thanks for this! Definitely didn't know all the tricks skyvector has to offer.

Great tutorial, my friend. I use SkyVector and it's really pretty good.

Great tutorial buddy! ;-) Skyvector is one among other great tools I use myself for flight planning. Simbrief is also brilliant! Good stuff! =D

Finally give up and do the Navigraph. The new one updated quite a bit now and the advice is similar but the route is now RALKA3F RALKA NANPI R784 EMOTA R784 TATLA DATOB DATOB1E the key is Ralka3f and datob based on the chats of OKBK-OMDB. That seems easy after the help here. Just wonder whether I can do VMMC and VHHH especially Hong Kong is a loop.

يعطيك العافيه كابتن شكرا على المجهود 3>

Thank you; great videos! I would appreciate some videos on VFR and VFR flight planning. Thanks!

Hi there! I loved the tutorial; I found it very helpful and informative. I am having a problem however, I am trying to do a departure out of KBOS: RWY 04L with the PATSS FIVE departure. The issue is, I cannot find the actual SID for that runway like you did @ 10:42 . I am using Flight Aware for my IFR plates. Are the specific runway departures only from Navigraph? Or am I just doing something wrong?

Thank you from New Zealand

Once again a great tutorial, I have Skyvector but I have never used it for other than USA routes but will give it a go thanks to your tutorial, I agree the best is Navigraph but for someone who does not want to go down the paid route then Skyvector could be the answer

Excellent video Osamah. I'm still re-learning Xplane and find your videos and explanations so valuable. Always look forward to your new videos. I have subscribed to Navigraph as well for the new Airac data as well Canada charts are not on Skyvector. Quick question, trying to land Zibo mod 737 on autoland. Do I need to dial down altitude to runway after approach lock on the GS? Thanks for creating these very informative and enjoyable videos for us.

Muy buen tutorial. Gracias por compartirlo con nosotros. Me suscribo a tu canal. Saludos.

For that example of OKBK, if you dont have navigraph whats the best way to view the IFR airways info for the airport to figure out the sids/stars? (since it doesnt look like skyvector has it)

Thank you for the video! I never realized that Skyvector had so many helpful features. Can you help me find some information on the first waypoint on this SID out of KSDF? It's part of an IFR route to KBDL. JKUKA058025 JHW WILET STELA1 I can see it on the charts but I'm wondering how they come up with the route? There are also similar waypoints on SIDS out of KSDF such as IIU356017. Are you able to program these waypoints into an FMC? Thanks.

can you show us how to add in the approach as well? cause I can't add the Stars and approach together for some reason

Very good presenter👏😊

Great Video. Truly enjoyable and easy to digest. How do you handle a situation where ATC is involved, and give you approach or departure instructions that do not match your flight plan? Turn off the LNAV and VNAV on the autopilot and use Altitude and Heading Instead? I am using Xplane 11. Thank you

Happy thanks Sam!

my problem is getting navigraph into plane 11 its finds prepar 3 but there isn't a check off for x 11

how do i get to see iaf and fiaf? can one see them on skyvector? if so how?

if one wants to send flight plan as fms plan how does one do that?

I hit enter when i type in my approach but it just goes. Can anyone help??

Hi G8 Pilot, thank you for you video, very clarifying. Question: Trying to build an IFR flight plan using W7 low airway on skyvector from SBGR (São Paulo GRU Intl Airport) to SBGL (Rio de Janeiro Galeão Intl Airport) I couldn't find a way to select from two different STAR procedures on SBGL: EPGIP1B RWY15 and EPGIP1B RWY28/33. Skyvector only recognises EPGIP1B. Is there any clue for doing this? Here are the STAR procedures: EPGIP 1B RWY15 => "ais.decea.gov.br/download/?arquivo=74bb0946-250f-1033-8701-72567f175e3a&apikey=1587263166" EPGIP 1B RWY28/33 => "ais.decea.gov.br/download/?arquivo=8cab4624-250f-1033-8701-72567f175e3a&apikey=1587263166"

You can also get all the charts completely updated and legally for free here: www.eurocontrol.int/articles/ais-online. I personally use Navigraph subscription also because it's all in one place but in that site you can get everything you want from the sources.

Yes, but how do you bring it into the sim?

Do a VFR planning video!

Great video, but is there a way to move that flight plan to your FMC without typing each and every waypoint?

Is there anyway we can use Skyvector to look for the most fuel efficient route? Insid VS there's an auto option (the green leaf you mentioned) but what about outside?

Hi! I don't get the charts menu when I hover over an American airport on skyvector, only metar. Could you help me please? Thanks

How do you determine which SID or STAR to use without having to look at each SID and each STAR? For example, if the wind direction changes along with the active runway, how would you know which SID or STAR to use? Thx

At the beginning you mentioned it being illegal to file without intent to fly. I don't think this is the case. I maybe request a clearance for 1 out of 10 of the flight plans I file. It's a great video though and I came to you looking for helpful tips. Cheers.

If you use Navigraph, why would you use Skyvector?

Is there any way to put approaches into Skyvector?

Im having problems undersanding the stars where the lines dont go to the runway but just out to nowhere. please someone help me :(

does skyvector export plans to FMS (xplane)?

Does this flight plan support P3D V3?

6 add breaks in a 16 minutes video is a killer

Is sky vector available for Asia ?

You didn't talk about the fuel How will I know how much fuel to put in the plane

Somehow I couldnt manage to make IFR planning from EDDF to LOWW and back. Both routes I cannt find the right STARS or TRANSITIONS. Need Help :( . Btw great video but Im dumb.

Can this be used with prepar3d?

As a sim flyer I bet I only subscribe to one. As us is covered by sky vector not forefight. Now navigraph or SkyDemon I am not sure.

For me hovering over the airport does nothing.

you have to be a real world pilot for using sky vector for xplane right?!?

If you try this now, typing it in exactly, it won't work . . . changes have been made since 2017.

1st like

just skip to 4:10 for the actual tutorial

Not entirly true about US only , If you sign up for an account that is absolutly free, you can access the whole worlds data & maps. I know because I have done it. For sim users NEVER,NEVER,NEVER, use file a flight plan! That would be a federal crime.

You must speaking german. Otherwise I do not understand you at all. Many greatings from austria.

But in real life, you do not know your STAR at departure

How can delete a flight plan in sky vector
