Hi Dave and all,

I'm still getting to grips with P2A...Quite often I will fly out of my local airport, EGCC Manchester. There are normally altitude restrictions of 5000 ft on the SIDS.  P2A assigns me an initial altitude of FL100 or FL1200.  However I am then getting asked to descend back down to 5000 ft to meet the alt restrictions.  is there any way of avoiding this?  I've learned that I can double click onto a waypoint in the filightplan and that brings up a box to alter the target altitude, but not to change alt restrictions. Can I perhaps request a direct to waypoint that will bypass this?

 

Many thanks,

 

Rory

On the ATC tab of Setting, check the "ATC Ignores SID Altitude Restrictions" option and you should be able to climb without being told to maintain the SID restrictions.

Ah, ok, thanks Dave 🙂
