Without knowing the track plots for the day of the flight in question, there would be no way to know what fix was the starting point for Track X coming out of Europe.
BUT, isn't Track X an eastbound track? |
Confusing aint it?
The documentation I found on the web says X is east bound and the flight plan I found seems to jive with that.
The link that surreal provided seems like a reliable source and indicates X is west bound.
For the purposes of my presentation I used the info from surreals suggestion and plotted:
ODF J48 PTW J77 BAF ENE COLOR RONPO 47/50 49/40 50/30 50/20 SOMAX KENUK
Thanks for the help guys!
