ifly: is it a must to plan which runway for landing, before take off?

Featured Replies

Flying the MD 11, I never plan which runway I'll use for landing, I could have, but I prefer to wait til the ATC provides me the info or from ATIS freq when starting to descend. But with iFly NG, If I don't plan it before, the TOD bug won't show up..that's what happened in my 1st attempt. Which is not the case with MD. I know in real life, I could always make a prediction. (That's what I saw on justplanes vid). My 2nd question is: do they always make an estimation which runway is active at destination airport?Thanx in advanceKind regards

Normally you would setup the STAR with runway ops. North, south, east west. Then the RWY will be assigned by ATC. If you setup the STAR it should have crossing altitudes giving you a TOD. In your Boeing FMC flight plane you will also need an ending point or the FMC will not be able to determine TOD. I understand what you are saying. As long as you have a STAR programmed with altitudes or any crossing descent waypoint you should get a TOD. Hope that made sense.
