Hello:
I have choosen the 4th alternative route for Flight 5026 leg2 but as`I began to enter th route, I think I found a small error. The FP shown is KCVG BLGRSS IIU J526 BKW KCHO. If BLRgrss is KLEX (Bluegrass airport) why fly west to IIU and then turn around to fly east ? Just a learning question for me. thanks

I believe I was in error. The BLGRSS is the departure procedure NOT a reference to KLEX. Right?

Yep. The BLGRS5 (Bluegrass Five) is the departure procedure, and IIU is the transition. So you'd grab the chart for the BLGRS5 and fly it as published to the IIU VOR.
