OFP wrong MSA

Hello.

Noticed wrong MSA is indicated in OFPs. In this example KUMOM 131 vs 150, NIPEL 089 vs 109.

Both are lower that the grid MORA.

If I am not mistaken, those figures in the OFP are meant to be the airway’s MOCA, not the area’s MSA.

There is no airway, its DCT

Oh, duh :laughing: My bad, sorry.

In any case the more restrictive altitude is accounted as minimum safety altitude.

I will send to our team.

Hi, the altitudes in the navlog are not grid MORAs. They are the minimum safe altitude along the planned route (within 5 nm either side of the track between the current and next waypoint).

It’s normal for them not to match the grid MORA, since the terrain responsible for the grid MORA in a given sector is often not directly beneath your route.

Almost all real-world OFPs display the MORA this way, so we have simply done the same. For the grid MORA and/or airway MOCA/MEA, you can continue to reference these in the Charts app. And you definitely should, especially if you are deviating from the planned route for any reason.

Best regards,
