Okay, okay. Read through the steps. Followed them precisely. Worked like a charm. Doh! Nonetheless, kind of a pain compared to the sweet search form at the previous link. Hope they get it fixed or replaced soon.

Steve, you could always save the PDF, that would save some time, too. I agree, though, it's not quite as convenient.

The folks at iFlightPlanner have the TEC route data available in a "user friendly" search by origin and destination. They state that "All data is provided via official FAA data sources". No account is required.

An added bonus is a link to a sectional or IFR chart overlay of the route.

reminder:

AIRCRAFT CLASSIFICATION
(J) = Jet powered
(M) = Turbo Props/Special (cruise speed 190 knots or greater)
(P) = Non-jet (cruise speed 190 knots or greater)
(Q) = Non-jet (cruise speed 189 knots or less)

Very nice, Ken! I've updated the links on the Pilot Training Program ratings to point to that instead (I3, I4, I8).

Keith, that's exactly what I did last night. Saved as a PDF and then printed out the 12 or so pages of TEC routes.

Thanks for that link, Ken!

Steve, believe it or not, the material that you printed is exactly what pilots used to carry around in the little green book (the AFD) before the EFB's came along :) So, as archaic as it may have felt, it wasn't entirely unrealistic.

Hey, I'm all about archaic! As Joe Walsh puts it, I'm an analog man!
