  • Navigation Help!!!!!

    I have just taken up flightsimming as a hobby and i love it. I have many things to learn but i would like to get started with one thing i dont understand.
    When i joined a VA i had to be tested. They gave me the Route: Start at lax, ,GMN4 EHF J65 CZQ J189 OLM5 and finish at KSEA. I would like to know what these things mean and how i wold navigate through these. Do i use frequencies..etc. .. .?

    Thanx

    flight planning software, or if you have an aircraft with functional FMC you can use it.

      Thats jus a basic IFR flight plan with the route taken.
      KLAX
      then your gonna do the GMN4 departure
      to EHF a High Class VOR and then your gonna take the Jet Route J65 to CZQ Another High VOR.
      Next J189 to the OLM5 STAR or Standard Terminal Arrival Route and finally KSEA.

      All you need is some online charts and a vor receiver. Or GPS/FMC/fancy glass cockpit stuff

          what i meant to ask was do jetways/routes have frequencies where you can go from vor to vor.

            A jet route is jus the name given to the path that conects the VORs. Think of it as highways connecting cities. There is no frequency for the Jet Route jus the ones assigned to the different VORs along the route.
