I am trying to learn how to apply speed and altitude to a waypoint/NAVAID. I was heading to KOSH and was trying to setup the WARBIRD approach into RW27. This is my plan:

KCIN MCW VPPLK 4345N08907W VPGRN/N0135F023 VPRIP/N0135F023 WINNE 4351N08827W VPWAR FIGAD/N0117F018 4359N08833W KOSH/PRIMO.R27

I get an error message saying:

Ignoring speed and altitude at waypoint VPGRN.
Ignoring speed and altitude at waypoint VPRIP.
Ignoring speed and altitude at waypoint FIGAD.

What am I doing wrong?

This is not an error message but only a warning. You'll still get a valid plan but step climbs are not supported in LNM.

Yes Alex, I read that. That is how I learned the format for my plan. If LNM doesn't do step climbs or descents how do the restriction altitudes get in there? I would just like to be able to set altitude and speed in certain portions of my approach.

It's not doable yet. Profile calculation is complex due to all the altitude restrictions in procedures. Adding steps is quite a task there.

Maybe I can add step climbs in a later version. Have to see.

Great, it would be useful for events like Oskosh where there are special procedures involved!
