Could you also fix the MSA computation so that obstacles in a semicircle before the starting point of the route is considered in the MSA computations? Just as obstacles in a semicircle after the end point of the route are considered. When departing from an airport you can't always depart directly in the direction of the route. Runway in use, noise-sensitive areas and/or ATC procedures can mean that you have to fly for some time in the area "before" the route and then obstacles before the route are relevant.
