Hi Barit,
Do you normally apply randomness to your aircraft's track and altitude?
Thanks!

I haven't been active for a while, but yes, I'd normally put a little insurance on the published track. It's not random, for the same reason I don't drive in random lanes on the highway.

BTW - In my jump-seat days I observed that crews usually put a bit of vertical and/or lateral offset on their track in certain parts of the world. The unofficial rules for this were probably (I can't say for sure) drafted in an offsite IFALPA meeting somewhere.
