Hi I’ve updated x-plane 11.50 with latest cycle 2506 but when I check the EXMOR1B SID at Cardiff EGFF, it appears to be missing the GPS ‘intersection’ WP. This causes the auto pilot to throw a bit of a fit.
The EXMOR1A appears to be fine. Is it possible to get a fix for this?
Hi,
I have tested the EXMO1B out of Cardiff now in XP11 with the Garmin 530, and I can´t see any issue here:
… also in the XP11 stock G1000 - no waypoint is missing:
… comparing with the charts:
I´m using AIRAC 2506 with the latest XP11.55r2
Cheers,
Richard
Hi
Thank you for the quick and thorough reply.
I’m using the built in G530.
It’s a little confusing and the SID looks ok, but in NAV mode it will not enable the next WP to BHD55 and tries to fly direct to BHD52 after D120B.
I’ve attached pics from my Garmin Pilot app and you can see that it adds an intersection (like on EXMOR1A) to allow a turn to BHD55.
I will also check on my actual G530 tomorrow as well.
Cheers

Hi Paul,
Your Garmin shows an additional INTC, and that could be the reason. When the first turn after D120B starts at 1350 feet, I guess you can´t reach the next waypoint, BHD55. Therefore, the INTC in your Garmin data is to avoid the immediate right turn.
In the Jeppesen source, these legs are coded as “course-to-fix” which is correct so far, but when your turn is to “early”, you can´t reach BHD55 on course 218, and therefore it will be “skipped”.
I have tried the departure and made the turn at 2500 feet. Here, the a/c “finds” the waypoint BHD55 and can cross it. It´s a bit tricky, because the AIP doesn´t show an “intercept”, only a “right turn onto track 218 to cross BHD…”
The coding seems correct, but I´m with you; it looks “better” with the INTC in your Garmin data. Anyway, both datasets are different and, therefore, will be coded differently. It is not a typical “issue”, I guess.
Cheers

Hi Richard,
Ah! that makes sense, I can see what you’re saying.
I’ll shall give that a go.
Good to know the coding is correct though 
It’ll be interesting to see how the SID works out in real life. I’ll give that a go as well, at least I’ll know to look out for the issue.
Cheers
Paul
