Hi,

Here is my routing

ROUTE ID: PMIBER01
LEPA/06R MEROS8B MEROS N853 LUMAS DCT NIBIK DCT NETUP DCT STP DCT
RAPED DCT PIGOS DCT EKSID DCT NOSTA DCT NOPMU DCT TAGIP DCT BRENO
DCT ALUTU DCT TIVDA DCT ETVIS DCT NAVEK DCT GAVLI T203 ATGUP ATG06L
EDDB/06L

And the step climbs i got

FL STEPS LEPA/0380/BRENO/0390/GAVLI/0400/

Not sure why i got FL390?

Hi, this looks correct.

Up until BRENO, you are in LECB, LFFF, and LIMM airspaces. All of these airspaces use a North-South rule for cruising altitudes, where northbound flights should use even altitudes.

Between BRENO and GAVLI, you are in LOVV, EDUU, and LKAA airspaces. These use an East-West rule, where eastbound flights should use odd altitudes.

After GAVLI, you are flying on the T203 airway. This airway uses even altitudes when flying in that direction (image from the German AIP below):

RAD EDLI1010 & ED2312 applies, level should be even on the sector from Italy to Czech

  1. BRENO DCT ALUTU DCT (AGNAV, RUDNO, TIVDA) & RFL (FL320, FL340, FL360, FL380, FL400, FL430, FL470) AT BRENO

Haha, leave it to Eurocontrol to hide this inside of a “Utilization” word-salad column. Not like Annex 3B doesn’t already exist for exactly this purpose, it even has a dedicated column to define even/odd levels.. :expressionless_face:

SimBrief can automatically parse Annex 3B, but there is very little chance that Annex 2B will be auto-parsed any time soon. So this is to be expected at this point unfortunately.

I’ve amended this specific route at least, for whatever it’s worth.

Cheers,

Thanks guys.

i just thought Germany uses the Neodd and SWeven rules.

Unlike France, Portugal, Spain etc use that different rule where Northbound flights are even?
