Has it occured to you to omit the CYXU from the FPL? if YXU and ZR are in waypoints 1 and 2 in the FPL page then the Direct-Clear-Enter sequence will join the #1 and #2 waypoints in the FPL and sequence from then on in LEG mode. Voila, problem fixed.

Re: BCAS fixed wing contract

Yes, Helijet has kept the rotary wing portions of the contract, Helicopters in Vancouver and they got the Prince Rupert base as well (Which was VIH before) . Too bad for the jet side tho, sad to see that as Danny runs a good show, wonder what they'll do with the Lear's now.
