    I found the performance of the FMC for conventional procedures quite questionable. For example, this is SABE RWY 13 ATOV4B.
    The procedure calls for a climb to 1000ft, then heading 042 to intercept PTA radial 336. You can see that I dialed in heading 042:

    That looks like the correct interception point from my current position, but it should be based on the position at 1000ft.
    I also noticed, that I often reach the conditional altitude waypoint way before the calculated position. It seems that procedures like this can only be flown correctly manually with raw data.

    This is expected behavior as the altitude fixes are fixed points derived from the navdata. It is something we have logged internally as something to potentially look into improving in the future.
