Flight Route Calculations

AI-generated

Summary

Calculates a VFR flight route including distance, time, fuel, and a navigational log with wind correction.

Inputs

  • origin (required) — Departure airfield — name, ICAO, IATA, alternate ID, or lat,lon pair.
  • destination (required) — Destination airfield — name, ICAO, IATA, alternate ID, or lat,lon pair.
  • altitudeFeetAverage — Average cruise altitude AMSL in feet. Default: 2500.
  • iasKtsAverage — Average indicated airspeed in knots. Default: 100.
  • fuelFlowPerHourAverage — Average fuel consumption per hour (any units — output matches). Default: 8.
  • departMinutesFromNow — Planned departure in minutes from now. Default: 60.
  • intermediateWayPoint1 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint2 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint3 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint4 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint5 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint6 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint7 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint8 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint9 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.
  • intermediateWayPoint10 — Optional intermediate waypoint — name, ICAO, address or lat,lon pair.

Output shape

a single record containing route details and a navigational log.

Returns data including distance, time, fuel, wind correction, and a structured navlog. Requires a valid 'teckelNavigationApi' credential.

Examples

Example 1: Calculate a flight from London Heathrow (EGLL) to Paris Charles de Gaulle (LFPG) with an average cruise altitude of 10,000 feet.

Set origin to 'EGLL', destination to 'LFPG', and altitudeFeetAverage to '10000'.

Example 2: Plan a VFR cross-country flight with three intermediate waypoints and an estimated cruise speed of 120 knots.

Set origin, destination, and iasKtsAverage to '120'. Populate intermediateWayPoint1-3 with waypoint identifiers.
