Pilots mostly use Pre-Planned Routes and GPS systems . Navigation is changing with technology , but using radio systems , VOR Beacons and the like , to navigate , is required knolledge for the '''real 777 Jockey !''

In real life an IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) landing will require two charts (amongst others SIDS , TAC , RUNWAY , SECTIONAL , EN ROUTE , and NOTAMS Notices to Airman) that the pilot must obtain . The first is for a Standard Arrival Route (STAR chart) and the second for the specific runway approach information called an "Approach Plate" which contains specific information for each runway .

NEVER do an instrument approach with the nose of the 777 pointing down more than 3-5 degrees or you may crash ! Your decent and heading into any runway must be carefully planned ! The weather ALWAYS PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE !
