Hey Support Team

I had a flight today that had me flying into an airport with a field elevation of 8400 feet. I was given an initial descent to FL200, then cleared to 8000 feet. On approach I was cleared to 3500. Obviously if I followed those instructions, well let's just say it wouldn't have been pretty.

. Maybe someone can take a look at the logs and tell me what happened.

Thanks for the continued support.

Tony J

You have a BAD flight plan I'm afraid.

The altitude for SPQU should be 8405' but it's showing as 250' in your flight plan... it's a case of bad data in... bad data out!

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!
