Fields in the editing table

Configuration controls

• Aircraft Types: Opens a window to select which aircraft types can use this route. Uncheck "All types" first to enable the aircraft selection button
• Waypoints: Click the waypoints dropdown (map icon) to enter space-separated ATC waypoints. Waypoints are used in operational flight plans
• Fees: Click the fees dropdown (dollar icon) to configure route-specific fees such as overflight charges or navigation fees. Add multiple fees with different currencies and calculation types

Copy buttons

Two copy buttons appear in each row when managing all routes:

• Direct copy: Duplicates the route exactly as configured
• Reverse copy: Creates a return route by swapping the departure and arrival airports

Routes automatically calculate the great circle distance (shortest path on a sphere) between departure and arrival airports.

The distance shown in the routes table is always the value used for cost calculations—fixed distance if set, otherwise great circle distance.

Routes can include pre-configured fees that automatically apply when the route is used in a quote. Common fee types include:

• Overflight charges for specific countries or airspace
• Navigation service fees
• Standard handling charges for specific airports
• Route-specific permits or authorisation costs

Fees are managed through the Fees button in the route editing window. Each fee can have a name, amount, currency, and description.
