Hello,I would like to create some flight plans where I would already be setting up my approach to an airport. Can this be done? I did a forum search and could not find anything. It is probably the user not the forum on this one.

For GA (VFR) or airliners (IFR)?A free option (best suitable for VFR) is Plan-G but then you would have to manually setup the approach by looking at the runway heading and creating waypoints that will get you right in front of it: it can be done and isn't hard to do: I often do it when I fly towards an unkown airport).You could also try FSCommander for airline flightplans: you can easily try various STARs and see if they connect your basis plan well enough to the desired runway. You can yse FSC free but you won't be able to export plans and the program will quit after half an hour, but that's more then enough to create a plan and make note of it so you can enter it in an FMC manually. (Only thing I don't like about FSX is its very outdated look...)

Thanks for the reply,VFR, IFR both really. I just want to start at something like FL300 and 150 miles out to practice approaches.

Simply setup the flight the way you want it and when you get to the point you want to start the approach from, save the flight. The next time you launch choose that flight and you will be at the starting position you saved.
