EICK/ORK Departure VAPA1N wrong

Navigation Data SID/STAR/APPR
1

Hi,

I departed EICK on RWY34 via the VAPA1N SID. The navigraph charts correctly indicate that the departure turns east, north of the city.

However, when I selected the VAPA1N SID in the MCDU of my Fenix A319, the ND displayed a very early right turn after takeoff.

If I had followed the indicated nav path of the displayed SID, it would have turned eastbound much earlier (over the city) than what the VAPA1N defines.

It seems like the VAPA1N SID actually follows the path of VAPA1T.

I have AIRAC 2409 installed.

Hi,
do I understand you correctly and can you confirm that the turn starts prior the 2500 (at or above) feet altitude restriction?

Can you confirm this? Because this is the only restriction what the charts say and what we also have in the data. So normally the turn starts immediately after the a/c has reached the altitude - so there is no fix point for that. It depends on the climb rate of the a/c.

Possible I misunderstood you here, so please confirm that when you’re flying this SID that the turns begin really before the +2500 feet.

Thank you
Richard

Thank you for your reply Richard,

Sorry my bad. I did read the Departure procedure with the 2500 ft before the turn, which is correctly displayed in the ND.

It turns at 2500ft, all good. if I delay the climb intentionally the line of the turn expands accordingly.

That was me, not being used to the climb rate of my plane :sweat_smile: sorry!

Cheers & thanks again
Richard
