When Simbrief generates its OFP there are “FL STEPS” calculated in the first nine or ten lines of the OFP. Until the latest SU13 update, I used them to perform my step climbs for long-haul flights.
Since the inception of SU13, there now exists the capability to import the OFP/flight plan directly into the FMS/FMC from SimBrief. Once all is settled down and the cruise portion of the flight has been achieved, there then exists on the PROG/PROGRESS page (bottom right) a TO STEP CLB with a time and distance to said step climb.
The problem is that the SimBrief OFP steps do not agree with those calculated by the FMS/FMC.
Which do I honor and use?
