Hello guys,
Twice I had the same issue on A320 Neo. ATC asked us to descend to FL240 by waypoint XXX. We were cruising at FL390. I tried to enter FL240 as a constraint in the waypoint XXX but it does not accept it and the message « Entry out of range » is displayed. Any idea why? The vertical speed required to comply with the constraint was only 1200 feet/ min. I can’t remember how many track miles to destination were remaining but quite a lot. Not sure if it has to do with the cruise phase. I had this issue twice at 2 different flights and both on Neos.
Also did you notice when you insert a ‘direct to’ waypoint,it sometimes go to the alternate route page on the opposite MCDU. Funny glitch and could not find anything about it on the FCOM either.
