August 18, 201510 yr Ok just about got sorted flying an ils approach into Manchester I have now started using PRO ATC which I find great, but it is giving me VDM 23L as part of my landing which I can not understand. Can somebody please tell me what a VDM approach is? I have searched google etc but did not find any tuts etc Any explination would be gratefully recieved. Nick Buchanan

August 18, 201510 yr Commercial Member Many thanks for that, going in the right direction now! Welcome. And it's 24L/R now, but that only matters if you're using a current airport file, charts, and nav data. Kyle Rodgers
August 19, 201510 yr It used to be 24L/R kyle but it's been 23L/R for a while now. By the way, landing on 23L at EGCC would be extremely unusual in real life, just so you know. But no harm in practising those non-precision approaches! A
