On the Legs page, how are 'At or above' altitude restrictions entered?

The main idea is that the Legs page uses suffix codes attached to the altitude value to specify what kind of restriction the altitude represents. For an altitude that must be met or exceeded, the interface assigns a specific suffix to indicate this relation, so you choose that suffix to encode the constraint. In this case, “At or above” is represented by a suffix labeled A. Using that suffix explicitly tells the system that the leg constraint requires being at or above the specified altitude, rather than simply being at the altitude or using a different relation. Choosing no suffix wouldlose the relation type and wouldn’t convey “at or above.” A prefix would not be how the input is structured on the Legs page, and a different suffix would indicate a different restriction (for example, a different relation than “at or above”). So the correct approach is to apply the suffix A to the altitude value.
