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.

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

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,
