Route

NOW evaluation for a Route mission.

Parameter Overview

The parameter overview of a route mission differs from that of a single or multi-location flight. At the top of the parameter overview is an energy display, divided into energy levels at takeoff and landing, as well as during flight. Within these sections, the considered parameters are displayed. Below the energy display, there is an altitude profile of the mission and a section with METAR/TAF data.

Route Mission Overview

Parameter Sections

Energy usage

Energy usage summary

These summaries offer an overview of the status of all mission limits during all flight phases (takeoff, enroute, and landing). Additionally, an energy display shows how much energy is available, how much is required, and how much will remain. The battery charge level is also taken into account for the evaluation.

In the route planner, wind speed and gusts are taken directly from the actual flight levels rather than relying on preselected heights, ensuring more accurate data for optimized planning.

Altitude profile

Altitude profile section

Located beneath the energy usage display, there's an altitude profile. The vertical axis represents the AMSL height, and the horizontal axis measures the distance. In the top left, along with the available energy, the flight duration and distance are shown.

Below the altitude profile, there's also a METAR/TAF display. More information on that can be found in the "Local-Flight" under Parameter sections.
