Simbrief plans routes below save altitude - CFIT

Simbrief does not seem to have a concept of MORA or other kind of safe altitude, neither can I set a minimum altitude in the route database editor. As a result, people are trying to “cross” the Alps in their piston aircraft in unsafely low altitudes, we are talking 6.000-8.000ft. Spoiler, you’ll fly into some cumulus granitus before you make it. LOVV has a “LAL - lowest available level” AIP ENR 6.8 chart that should be used, I assume other FIRs would have something similar.

I do not want to make this into a feature request but I do think a flight planning tool should give you a terrain safe flightplan or at least warn you. I test generated this FP and in 8.000ft as planned you are far below the highest min altitude of 11.500ft or the grid mora of 15.000ft.

Hi, this should be fixed now.

If you encounter a specific flight that still has this issue, please post a link to it and we will investigate.

Best regards,

thanks a lot! I just tried it again and it works as expected now. Out of curiosity, which data do you use?
