AMJBecker 0 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I'm trying to plan a step climb with the A320 Pro 1.2.3. Doing so, the flight plan shows a S/C pseudo waypoint, but does not reflect the new vertical profile, as it should do according to the Thales FMS Pilot Guide. Is the STEP ALTS function not yet fully implemented? I have something like this in mind, but couldn't find it in the forum anymore. Performing a step climb during the flight manually by just changing to the new cruise altitude in PROG page and on FCU works fine. Flight phase switches to CLIMB and returns to CRUISE, when the new flight level is reached. So, no issue here. It's a planning and fuel and time monitoring issue only.

STEP ALTS defined and accepted (question: what does the message "OPT STEP: ENTER ALT ONLY" mean?)

And yes, there are still a bunch of bugs. All known. We are working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
