Hi Terry,

From the UK AIP

BANVA 503242N 0004512E (U)M733 - (U)Y8 - EGGW STAR - EGSS STAR

So that's 50.545 (N) and 000.75333 (E).
As it's north of the equator the latitude is positive.
As it's east of Greenwich the longitude is also positive.

So your Basestation waypoint file should contain something like ..

,BANVA,5,1,50.545,0.75333,0

Many Thanks Stuart.

I managed to find and convert the waypoint exactly the same as you did, but it doesn't tie in
with the route on the UK AIP.

UM733 routes SUBIP BANVA MAY.

But using the BANVA coordinate and running a straightline through the three points
BANVA is located to the SW of where it should do?

Any ideas, or could the AIP coordiantes for BANVA be inocorrect in the UK AIP?

Thanks again

Hi Terry,

It looks OK here.

Add these into a waypoint (.wpt) file

,SUBIP,5,1,50.44555,0.885,0
,BANVA,5,1,50.545,0.75333,0
,MAY,5,1,51.01722,0.116111,0

Add these into an outline (.out) file

$TYPE=6
50.44555+0.885
50.545+0.75333
51.01722+0.116111
-1

The STAR route goes through SUBIP, BANVA to MAYfield.

Hi Stuart

Many thanks for your help, for some reason I had SUBIP in the incorrect position!!
All the fixes and outlines line up perfectly now.

Can I please as is there anywhere a list of all the UK Intersections in decimal degee's,
especially the newer ones?

Thanks again for your time,

Terry

Terry, there's a link under Favourite Websites to the FCC's Lat/Long converter.

No pain, no gain:

Amner, Yes I know about the lat/long converter, but I was enquiring whether there was a list
of waypoints already converted into decimal, that was my question, in my opinion no
harm in asking, and I thought with all the SBS resources available that there might be one?

Thank you for your help!

Sure there's no harm in asking and I didn't suggest there was.

If you download an existing waypoint WPT file, such as those provided by Bones and Jetvision, you'll probably find the coordinates in there.

Thanks for that,

Terry,

The 'jetvision' files at  http://jetvision.de/airac.shtml are your best bet. They don't always include the latest AIRAC release so if you are after 'new' intersections they may not be there.
