PFPX Grid MORA warnings

Featured Replies

Hey all,

Never been sure what to do when PFPX generates a flight plan warning that says (for example) "Altitude at 'FQF' (8,000 ft) is below grid MORA (12,001 ft)." I've never had an issue flying plans with these warnings, but what do they actually mean and is there a way to correct them?

MORA stands for 'Minimum Off Route Altitude' and refers to the lowest safe altitude in that area if you go off your planned route.

PFPX is telling you that the planned altitude at the waypoint is below the MORA, hence the warning. I'm not 100% but I believe you can fix this by downloading an update here; http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/files/category/48-pfpx/

Hope this helps, others might be able to chime in if this isn't the proper fix.

Take it as an advisory.  Your flight plan crosses the Falcon VOR at a safe altitude but within the same grid are the Rockies with a peak around 12,000.

I always wondered what those downloads did. Can you explain them or at least point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Are you referring to the PFPX update download?  Self explanatory, PFPX publishes updates to their program as downloadable executables.  Each update has a list of things fixed.

One fix did deal with errors reporting MORA advisories, but there is nothing to fix in the case presented by OP.  Just so happens there are big mountains not far from Colorado Springs... the VOR is named Falcon, the mascot of the USAF, which has their Academy in Colorado Springs.
