Hi,
I would like to ask whether is possible to implement drift down / escape route in simbrief, if Yes! i believe the community, including me, will be more than happy to help out the developers.

With the exception of China, where the AIP defines (at least in the L888 airway case) the AIP-specified diverts, driftdown calculations are incredibly complex, the methods used in the manuals vary by the OEM. The requirements vary between EASA or 121 (and I am familiar with the 25 / 121 requirements). You really need the actual airflow equations to do it well; not precalculated numbers and a crap-town of interpolation. The actual airflow equations (drag polars and so on) are proprietary.
Plus, as we were talking maybe a year ago about redispatch, where I think only a few users would probably grasp let’s say 121 redispatch and where it does and does not work to understand it correctly. I think even less would understand all of the nuance of Method 1 versus Method 2, driftdown decision points and net driftdown flight paths, and driftdown alternates. TriJets and Quads have very specific requirements that are different from Twins.
I think this is a bridge too far, for now.
