January 30, 200917 yr To request IAP is necessary to wait for approach clearence. So, I wait for it and acknowledge vector clearence and do not change my HDG to request IAP. But when I try to select IAP voice in menu, the controller is very fast to say again vector clearence and page men

January 31, 200917 yr I running always 1X and I jave not delay from first approach contact and rwy expect. As soon as I contact approach, he tell me immediatly whic rwy I'll expect and tell me heading and FL to hold. I have not time to select IAP because controller repeat Heading and FL assigned.I try to send a .log tomorrow. Thanks.
February 2, 200917 yr Hi All,I id a flight and despite what jd has indicated after initial contact from approach clearence is given almost at once with descend and heading information.I once was able to get the IAP request button pressed however the loop had already started its next task.I will check again this evening.RegardsNorman Bowman Norman Bowman
