August 21, 20223 yr On a flight today P2A gave me a crossing altitude of 'At or Above FL110' for EXCOS, the last waypoint of my STAR which is marked on the chart with 'At or Above 4000' Which makes sense, it's very close to the IAF: https://i.ibb.co/QJtXcjt/Screen-Shot-2022-08-20-at-9-22-22-PM.jpg "At or above FL110" would make the approach (Alt for approach is 3000 ft) simply impossible. Shouldn't P2A take the published min/max altitudes from the chart into account when stating crossing altitudes? Thanks! Dirk
August 21, 20223 yr I've had similar experiences and communicated with Dave, the developer, about them. He's working on improving the descent calculations for the next beta version. Were you getting vectored to an approach? In my experience, that's when it tends to leave you way too high very close to the airport.

August 22, 20223 yr Commercial Member That does usually mean the program has decided to give vectors, likely because of a manual termination of the STAR or Approach transition. This might not be communicated at the arrival call time. If you press the APPR button, the gold line for the approach should appear and you can see if that is the case. And I am indeed reworking the arrival calculations for the next Beta. Dave
August 23, 20223 yr Author Yeah, didn't get any vectors... If it happens again I'll check with the APPR button if that's at least the intention... Thanks! Dirk
