A350 intercept point

E__z_k · January 24, 2026 at 8:23 PM

Hello everyone !

When I'm flying with the A350 and I reach an intercept point (INTCPT), it keeps flying straight while it should turn.

Could someone help me understand what might be causing this behaviour ?

Can you please post the full route and the location where it occurred so we can try and replicate it?

Intercept points (INTCPT) can be created by many different techniques such as VOR radial intercet, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I can reproduce the same issue on two different flight plans:

Flight 1
CYYZ RWY 15L → KJFK RWY 31R
SID: BULGE1
STAR: PWL2

Here, an INTCPT appears just after takeoff, before the SID.

Flight 2
EGLL RWY 09L → LFPG RWY 26R
SID: MAY2K
STAR: CAN5W
APPR: ILS RWY 26R

In this case, the INTCPT is between the STAR and the approach.
