Weird step climbs

Hi,

My route was LEPA - EGGD And got FL steps down to FL340 then back to FL370?

ROUTE ID: PMIBRS01
LEPA/24R DRAGO4A DRAGO DCT PAPOS DCT UMURE DCT XIKEN DCT KARES DCT
ARBEK DCT REBUL DCT USKAR DCT MOPAS DCT GIROM DCT GONUP DCT MANAK
DCT MUREL DCT NOZHU DCT SHIRI DCT TOJAQ TOJAQ2B EGGD/27

There is a level cap entering the LFRR sector, I would think Simbrief is applying the RAD.

Personally I would then adjust the following level manually.

Hi, so goes as planned but stay at FL340

Yup, that should do it.

The descent to FL340 is due to the RAD rule EGLF1045 (Annex 2B) , that forbid south coast UK arrival to offload Brest upper sector during summer. So you can use any even level before MANAK.

But here are 2 remarks on your FPL:

The correct routing into LFRR would be MANAK UT183 BAGAD DCT MUREL DCT NOZHU and to reflect the IRL LoA between LFRR and EGTT, I would add a step descent FL300 at MUREL in order to be over NOZHU FL300. This would give you a better fuel prediction
