IFR Preferred Routes

I just stumbled upon the NFDC Preferred Routes Database at the Air Traffic Control System Command Center Website. If you plug in you departure and arrival airport, it gives you the preferred IFR route. This information is already contained in the A/FD but it is easier to access here.

This is a sample output for the Tower Enroute Control (TEC) route (TEC) from San Luis Obispo (SBP) to Orange County (SNA).
