Hey Tim, Here is an idea of how Foreflight solved the issue. Maybe it gives you an idea about it. Dirk

For Italy the FMCs are not depicted on the ICAO charts - but those are rubbish for many reasons and not used by anyone. The "official" FMC charts are hidden in the AIP ENR 6.4.1 & ENR 6.4.3 for Milan and Rome FIR respectively. It wouldn't be Italy if it was straight forward, but nevertheless those FMCs are mandatory AFAIK.
