The filed route was EDWE DCT KUBAT N872 LILSI EHLE. I was given the EMPIT 1P departure - which implies runway 7. After I had added the EMPIT 1P departure the FMS flight plan was EDWE EMP1P EMPIT KUBAT N872 LILSI EHLE. I didn't indicate a departure runway as this departure is for a specific runway. Should I?
When I clicked on the autopilot it turned to KUBAT.
I just tried the above on the iPad sim and it also retained the direct to KUBAT after I added the SID.
