I'm starting the flight posted by Tommyknocker to see if there are some problems.I have a ZFW of 136 in an 800.I fill in all the pages, select 1st derated t/o and 2nd derated climb.Go to takeoff and enter 5

I just wanted to point out that i indeed use the Select Keys AFTER the already filled waypoints.BRClaudio

Hi Claudio>Go to DEP/ARR, select my sid (MIN5A from runway 20), go to RTE page >where i have the correct indication:>>MIN5A MINKA>>(you can see it in the first pic)>>and i enter LSK2>UL5>Know what?????>The fmc puts it BEFORE the SID!!!!!!!!>WHY????>You can see it in the second pic.>Then i try a direct, and after erasing, i enter just VALMA in the >RSK2...>Third pic.>>Anyone happens to know why all of this do actually happen?I've checked this and the reason why you are getting these weird results is obvious if you at the same time as you are programming the FMC also look at the ND. The SID MIN5A is not correct. There is a discrepancy between the (ALG217), ALG40 and ALG waypoints. You can see this clearly on the ND. From ALG91 the FMC tries to fly on a 355 TRK to intercept the 217 RAD from ALG. It then wants to go back to ALG 40 and then again got towards ALG. If ytou delete either the (ALG217) waypoint or the ALG40 waypoint everything works as it is supposed to.Maybe Terry can chip in here and tell you what the DAFIF data looks like and why this SID doesn't seem to be correct.I also noticed that the current SID on VATITA www.vatita.net for MINKA from RWY20 is designated MINKA5E and looks completely different.Cheers,

Ok ClaudioI've checked out your first problem as well>I have a ZFW of 136 in an 800.>I fill in all the pages, select 1st derated t/o and 2nd derated >climb.>Go to takeoff and enter 5

Thank you for all your answers.My error about the MTOW resulted from the FS fuel manager:i took out enough fuel not to have any red warning messages, thus thinking i was within the limits.I think i forgot to take out the excess fuel :):(What a stupid thing to do :(And regarding the derated, i checked the runway lenght before ;)Anyway thank you, i'll try to fix the sid.BRClaudio
