It's been a discussion what initial altitude to be set on the MCP windows. Is it 2000' or I can set the final altitudes of 6000'? Since by going VNAV the FMC will take care of the altitude for me. Am I doing it correctly? And "proceeding on course" means to where?
Thanks guys.
I would say 6000. It doesnt say that you should maintain 2000 until crossing VOR.
After you reached 2000 you can turn direct VOR and continue climbing.
Edit:
After reaching 6000ft you can proceed to the next cleared waypoint on your flight plan. But before doing so I would cross the VOR to stay within protected airspace.
