FMC - ALT at specific waypoint

[ST1322 10]

Hi,

Is it possible to set specific altitude in the waypoint along the way? Lets say that I wish on certain waypoint to achieve FL 390 (from 380). So far FMC says: invalid entry...

That would be a step climb.  Use 390S if you want to do this; however, I wouldn't be programming step climbs because RW a clearance from ATC is needed before changing.

The NG fmc does not accept step climbs I do not think? You could just put /390 on the right side of the waypoint - David Lee

Think   fcom  explains  on how  to enter  the step climbs 11.42.18  onwards

David, please do not offer technical support unless you know the answer.  Your answer is wrong.  One enters 390S in the NGX for step climbs same as 747/777.

Is that an updated fmc in the 737 for p3d? It has been a while since I used the ngx and do not have fsx installed to test but 390s led to "invalid entry" at the times I tried it in the past. - David Lee

You are right, I stand corrected.  I've used step climbs before but only on the VNAV CRZ page.  One needs to manually enter the new cruise altitude.  Sorry, I was certain (incorrectly so) that I have had entered 390S equivalents before.
