Low and High IFR En Route Charts on FlightAware
FlightAware maps can now display low and high IFR en route charts in the United States by selecting the map layer. With this new feature, you can see FlightAware flight and airport on top of IFR charts that show you VORs, navigation fixes, airways, and more! (flightaware.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
A great addition. Very useful for a multitude of reasons.
Dear Friend Daniel Baker and F A Team ,
I, a non aviator BUT a flying enthusiast, have no words to thank you enough for this new feature, which is a multi window kind.
This is many shades better than the Vector Chart ! This is 3 in 1 , at least the way I have understood, the vector chart, the weather chart and the flying density pattern(Aviation Sectional)
Now all that remains is to get a tool to make flight plan and plot on the map !
ThanX a ton.

Why don't you become an aviator and get a pilots license?
ThanX.
The way I am being taught, very soon, I am sure to ask ICAO to create an extra ordinary category of pilots, the armchair pilots ! Why the ICAO ? To make it universal, applicable all over the the world. Not limited to citizens of one nation alone ! To benefit the whole humanity! ha ha ha
As a lawyer my orientation is towards pro bono Public Interest Litigation as it is known in India. Just like class action suites in some countries.

Well done, and thanks
Excellent job. Very quick to change views!
Dear FA, this is to thank you for helping me to use the knowledge I am gaining here and to use a feature , Flight Tracker, in every day life.
I must share the gratitude my friend showed to me yesterday for the information that I gave him in advance for a flight he undertook this morning.
He and his wife were booked for today's flight JAI18, New Delhi to Singapore to meet their 100 days old grand daughter. Being a direct flight it flies over the Bay of Bengal, an area which was/is under the drastic effect of Cyclone Phailin !
They were worried on two counts. Firstly about delays and secondly about the bumpy ride. They knew that a/c will fly well above the cyclonic clouds but but bumpiness and discomfort associated with anxiety could not be ruled out !
I told him that I will get some useful information about route and flying conditions through FA. And that's where my indulgence at this portal came in handy.
I searched for flights between India and Singapore. To and Fro. First I tried the same flight route taken on 17th and learnt that 'generally' it is well North of the cyclonic area. And I told my friend about it. This proved to be a bit reassuring.
Then, I managed to get precise information of three en route flights when the Cyclone was in her absolute fury. First was Singapore-New Delhi flight which took a pretty Northward route to avoid Bay of Bengal.
Second was Singapore-Mumbai(Bombay) flight which at the precise moment of my checking was flying literally over Chennai(Madras) which was under severe warning at ground level . Meaning all was SAFE at that height !
Even the aircraft of Singapore-Chennai was very close to the airport and was declared as landing on time. Meaning, no hazard expected.
When I disclosed ALL these details last evening, about 12 hours before their scheduled departure, my friend thanked me SO profusely that I felt as a wrong(guilty) recipient of the gratitude. And I told him so.
And when I tracked the actual flight this morning I was SO happy to observe that the flight was on time for start and landing and , interestingly, she took the route that I had anticipated yesterday! The flight has landed on time in fact.
Hence, this long narrative is to express that roaming on this portal does not mean a limited benefit but it has huge potential depending how the user exploits the available knowledge !
ThanX FA, once again.
