In the Routes tab the characteristics of the taxiway intersection are defined.

Route

After placing two or more Entries, the various routes between these entries are automatically calculated and displayed in the dialog. AviPLAN Airside Pro will automatically calculate the shortest route between two entries, but this can be edited/re-routed by clicking the Move button .

Label

This is a text label visible in the drawing, results and reports.

Direction

For each route, the direction of operation can be defined using the drop-down list box:

• Route is used in two directions (double arrow is shown)
• Route is used in one direction only (single arrow shall be selected indicating the direction of the route)
• Route is not found between two entries (Route not found is shown)
• Route is not used at all (Route not used is shown)

Note: Clicking a row in this table will highlight route in the drawing.

Calculate

As soon as at least one Route has been established and one entry criteria-compliant airplane has been added¹, the Calculate button will be enabled. After clicking Calculate, the tool will analyze the critical airplanes' movements through the intersection using the cockpit over centerline method, as demanded by ICAO, EASA and FAA. Once the calculation process is finalized, the calculated fillet and shoulder lines are displayed in the intersection and the Fillet Results dialog will be updated. The calculated fillet and shoulder lines, together with a range of other elements, can be controlled using the Session Manager.

Note¹: [FAA only] The airplanes selected in the Airplanes tab do not contribute in any way to Taxiway, calculated edge or Shoulder, calculated edge. See Fillet Results for more information. Accordingly, airplanes do not need to be added to the Airplanes for the Calculate button to be enabled.
