Aleksej Sergeevich 0 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Hi everyone! We are writing to you concerning problems with PFPX route creating function. When we try to build a route from UMMS to UMMG, it completely refuses to use SID via OSMUS from UMMS and sends us direct to point PEPAR. The same occurs with the reversal route. Only PEPAR is used as SID from UMMG while using KOMEN and then REWED and ORHIM to KIZIR is correct. After point PEPAR there's OSMUS and only then KIZIR but OSMUS is a SID fix - it can't be used upon arrival. Another issue concerns altitudes. When we fly from UMMS to UMII, UMIO, UMGG, UMOO - cruising altitude (not level) is 5000 ft. Normally it should be at least FL170. Flights to UMMS have normal flight level. We found the solution in selecting "No step climb" and "Max altitude". Could you confirm that we are doing everything as it should be done? Finally, is it possible to have speed in FPL in knots, not kilometers per hour? Can it somehow depend on the FIR? Standing by for your pieces of advice. Alex.

srcooke 439 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hello Aleksej, I can see the same issue with OSMUS with the same airport pair, the OSMUS SID does get used however on other routes. If I come across a resolution will get back to you. On short trips the cruise altitude can sometimes be returned very low, a PFPX bug. Where this occurs set the Cruise Altutude/FL setting to MAX and NO STEP in the aircraft section of the planner prior to computing. Also a poor aircraft performance file can return these errors. Planning with an A320 or Dash8D returns FL240 and FL220 here respectively without the override. Do you have an authoritative source for the airspeeds used in Belarus FIR ? Speeds are indeed set on an FIR basis.

Aleksej Sergeevich 0 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Hi! 2) It works, thanks a lot! 3) On our maps from AIP all speeds are in knots.

Aleksej Sergeevich 0 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thank you! It works fine. Now only OSMUS is the problem.

Aleksej Sergeevich 0 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 By the way, OSMUS works from UMMS to UMBB. Link to comment https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/175106-pfpx-route-building-and-flight-level-issues/#findComment-1101193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksej Sergeevich 0 Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 I am sorry to say that, but speed is still in km/h, not in knots.

srcooke 439 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Is that a default OFP? Mouse over the UMMV FIR on the map, it should indicate Kts, the uploaded file is correct.

Aleksej Sergeevich 0 Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Well. I have kph in all templates, even defaults.

srcooke 439 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 And the speed indicated mousing over the FIR name? Files placed in the main program folder and NOT PFPX Data ? Checked a separate install here and tested correct.

Aleksej Sergeevich 0 Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hi, sorry for such a delay. Yes, to the main folder.

srcooke 439 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 To be clear the only speed change was made to the UMMV FIR as requested. The route you posted above UUEE-UMMS would remain in kmh as you are likely already in descent entering UMMV.

ATC3729 0 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Hi again! I am terribly sorry for the delay, but is it possible to change speed indication from K to N in other FIRs?

srcooke 439 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Whilst I changed the entry for UMMV based on the national carrier flightplan submissions I'm not convinced the change to KT's is correct, the country enroute AIP references KMH for speed. Should you wish to change entries locally then edit the FIR.dat file and change the required entry to SA1 for knots. If you have an authoritative source for the change I'll include it in my own published file.
