Entry out of range scratchpad A320
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.

Only half a speed-brake
No access to NEOs for me. On the old ones, however: If you changed the FCU alt first, and way before TOD, new ALT CRZ would be accepted by the FMGS. Inserting CSTR equal to CRZ ALT triggers the same message you got.

Given enough time in cruise this monkey found an answer :-)

Thank you Guys for your time! I think that must be it. I Will insert the constraint before starting an early descent next time.
@ Neilki: Interesting, I Will try that too!
Happy flying. =)
