In modern aircraft this whole navigational process can be automated. Pilots are usually in their flight deck seats 30 minutes to an hour before flight departure. From the flight plan for the flight, they entre airway designators into airplane’s Flight Management Computer. The computer will then generate a continuous path along those airways from departure to destination airports.
