I-03: First TEC route
Recommended aircraft:
turboprop (Pilatus PC-12, Piper Meridian, King Air)
,
fast piston (Beech Baron, Piper Seneca)
Pilot will fly KSNA to Burbank (KBUR) using the following route if in a jet or turboprops faster than 190kts : SLI, V23, LAX, LAX316R SILEX with a filed altitude of 6000.
Slower turboprops or piston aircraft should file SLI V23 POPPR SMO125R SMO SMO311R SILEX, at an altitude of 4000.
Winds permitting pilots can be expected to be vectored to the final
approach course for ILS RWY 8 approach at Burbank.
The routes above contain both VORs and radials off those VORs. For
example, "POPPR SMO125R SMO SMO311R SILEX" means you would fly to POPPR, then the SMO
125 radial inbound to SMO, then the SMO 311 radial to SILEX intersection.
An overview of TEC routes is included in the Related Materials list below. The routes above are the CSTN2 and CSTN1 routes, respectively, and can be found in the ZLA TEC route system, available from the TEC overview, or directly from the ZLA home page (see Reference section below).
Even though the correct routes are being provided as part of the text, pilots are encouraged to begin reading and understanding TEC routes now, as a thorough understanding will be helpful for the next rating.
Lastly, pilots are not expected to fly the full approach with the hold entry at SILEX at this stage. The I-6 is the first rating to introduce and explain the full approach and associated hold entry.

Nice catch! However, T-routes are terminal routes for RNAV- equipped aircraft. It is just a coincidence that T-245 is easily described as a series of radials/intersections.
For this reason, the published TEC route remains as is.
If you have RNAV, though, I would think you could file the route you mentioned.

Although I haven't flown this route yet, and I'm not a real pilot (yet) I researched and found this would be an acceptable filing for the route using single prop aircraft:
SLI POPPR T245 SILEX
V23 can be assumed from SLI POPPR and T245 takes care of the radial entries as they are clearly defined on the charts.
Would like to hear others opinions.
Happy vatsimming!

i have to admit, i enjoy flyin' right over LAX. :) in this lesson, you get to. screenshots galore! anyhow, Brad Podd gave me the Nodd of approval on this one. i'd like to thank Brad for maintaining a friendly demeanor, even tho' there was many of us pilots who needed his attention. his voice was calming, which is what i need when i'm in the air! thanks Brad!
