2. Estimated departure runway.
You will start from 27R or from 09L cause you depart to the north.
You need the ATIS of an active ATC or if nobody is there the wind direction to know weather you start from the 27 or the 09.
You start "ServInfo" (freeware you can download from the VATSIM site)
On the Map you can see all ATC Stations active. If EGLL GND, TWR or APP is Active you can request the ATIS with the wind/weather information or even the active t/o runway by clicking on the symbol.
If there is no ATC station active you can chlick on the "Cloud Icon" Button to receive the METAR weather at EGLL.
At this moment the winds are 120/09 knots - you have to start upwind so you will depart from 09L.
3. SID
If you have all SID Charts (where to download them for free you can see following the links on your
http://www.vatsim.net/ site) you will find one SID Chart that shows a SID to BUZARD Waypoint in the north of EGLL - the SID rout is called BUZARD2K since you depart from 09L.
Now you can program your FMC. Consider possible changes if ATC gives you a different departure!
Arrival at Mancherster EGCC:
Again you look for the weather info as described above. If there is no TWR etc. active: This morning the wind comes from 080 with 16 knots so we expect landing on runway 06 R or 06 L (If I have the choice I would prefer the Left cause it is less taxiing).
STAR: Look at the Charts and look for a STAR that starts at the last waypoint of your route TNT Trent: You will find the DAYNE2A STAR - Dayne will be your IAF Initial Approach Fix (the point where ATC will let you hold if the approach is not yet available due to traffic).
From Dayne you will make your final approach according to the procedures on the charts.
Sure there are a lot of mor details (speed / level restriction etc.) but this is all you need for a proper flight from EGLL to EGCC.
Good landing!
