SimRoutes.com is a preferred route database designed for pilots trying to fly from point A to point B. We try to match your route queries to a small set of route possibilities that are preferred by the ARTCC/FIR/vACC which you are flying from or to - rather than present you with 20 slightly different routes for each departure/arrival pair. The intended Users of these routes are virtual pilots flying on the VATSIM network. The data contained on SimRoutes is NOT intended for real world use.

SimRoutes was created by Ian Elchitz, a Business Analyst in the Upstream Energy & Petroleum Industry. Ian lives in Calgary, AB with his family and works on SimRoutes during his "free" time to keep in touch with the latest technologies. SimRoutes is actually the fourth major release of a flightplanner that Ian first built in 2000. See similar questions...

Yes of course you may. We only ask that you link directly to www.SimRoutes.com and not directly to any of our .aspx pages. There are lots of changes planned for the next few months and links directly to .aspx pages will more than likely stop working at some point. We will soon be releasing a "Powered by SimRoutes" image that you can place on your website as well. See similar questions...

The data is provided and maintained by volunteer administrators from various ARTCC, FIR, and vACC's within Vatsim. It may have been created based on FAA preferred routes, prefferred virtual traffic flows based on letters of agreement between centers, or simply based on suggestions by pilots. The Navigation data supplied is imported from the DAFIF. See similar questions...

Only SimRoutes Administrators may add or modify routes in the system. We do this in order to maintain our high level of route integrity. If you want a Route added to the system - contact the ARTCC/FIR/vACC responsible for the airports involved. See similar questions...
