Contact to Approach after final landing phase with Wilco Airbus

Featured Replies

Hello,

I am flying with the Wilco Airbusses 319-321 in FSX while using Radar Contact and have the following issue:

The FMCG automatically activates the final approach phase at a certain point in the flight plan (deceleration point) before the arival airport (it is reducing speed, it locks in the programmed approach runway and sets the ILS).

Unfortunately, Radar Contact usually requests to contact Approach only after this point.

So, when I receive the runway to use for the approach, the Final Phase including runway and ILS etc. is already set which cannot be changed w/o starting a GO Around procedure which actually resets the Final Approach phase.

 

Does anyone know a way 1.) that Radar Contact requests to contact approach earlier to give me the chance to programme the right runway before the Airbus is activating the final approach phase or 2.) A way how to reset the final approach phase in the Airbus or 3.) any other way to avoid this issue?

 

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Tilo
