FAA did some changes affective November 15th and I have not been able to access any TEC route links.
Any one else with that problem or with a valid link?
Cheers
Mike

Yep. They moved it. Search for it on google under nfdc preferred routes. But it would not work for me, except for downloading the whole database in one unformatted list. At least it was not working on my asus tablet, but if it effects other tablets then there is a prob!!
Tablets are really prolific in aviation now since they will do for 4 bills what a g1000 will do for 40k. The internal links on the faa site still point to the old site.

Thanks for info. Just managed to DL the supplemental for California. It is a PDF with 275 pages where the TEC routes for CA start around page 55.

Mike, there is a thread describing how to find the routes in the supplemental section of the AFD here:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2206
I know you've already worked it out, but I wanted to post it for clarity in case anyone else reads it.

I have tried the nfdc preferred routes database with the firefox browser as well as the native android browser, and neither work with the database. I also tried with an ipad and same thing. I sent a few notices to the webmaster, but they musta ignored em.
Knuckleheads! What do they think pilots are using nowadays to look this stuff up? Tablets are the way for aviators, in fact the right apps can give you the functionality of a garmin glass panel system for about $39k less than the real thing.
It would help is other people wrote the webmaster and complained. Its just a matter of fixing the functionality of the button on the page

^ that link is 6 years old and out of date.
I'm on my iPad right now, but I'll grab the correct link in the morning.
