And I am using P2A version 2.6.1.3

Thanks for your patience and persistence Dave. I think I've isolated where I'm running into trouble. If I use the settings you supplied and the recommended RWY28R with MOLEN8 SID from KSFO, I get an appropriate TOD. However, in real life KSFO uses RWYs 28R and 28L for landings and RWYS 01L and 01R for takeoffs in normal conditions, even though RYW 28R may be the indicated runway. If I try to use RWY01R with the TRUKN2 SID, I'm unable to get the TOD. You can see the usual pattern in this FlightAware link from yesterday evening's United flight from SFO to EUG. Best, Brian

Thanks, but I'm not sure I follow. I'm trying to replicate a very standard airline route into EUG that follows this route per FlightAware (I've also flown this as a passenger >200 times so am pretty familiar with it). The usual FL is FL 300, so I don't think I'm doing anything unusual here. I've tried with 1500 and 2000 FPM descent rates, and ground speeds from 250 to 400.

FWIW, I do not have any trouble getting a TOD going from KEUG to KSFO at FL 310.

Further testing shows that the highest FL that provides a TOD is FL 240

Thanks Dave. I can get it to work as you did at FL 180, but I was aiming for FL 300, and I can't get it to work from that FL. I just tried various ground speeds again but no joy.

I'm not able to get Pilot2ATC to calculate a TOD for a flight b/t KSFO and KEUG. I've tried a number of SIDs from SFO and Arrivals into KEUG, but can't get any to calculate a TOD. The specific route I was shooting for was KEUG-GRTFL-EUG-KEUG, with the TRUKN2 SID and ILS 16R ARR. Any thoughts?
