Ignored by ATC

[RodgerC 58]

For some reason, everytime after landing, as soon as I clear the runway and make the call to tower that I am clear, there is no answer.  I am never told to contact ground, when I do contact ground, I am ignored again.  Ground will acknowledge my radio call, but give no direction such as, "taxi to the ramp". This has just started happening on my last 5-10 flights.  I am at controlled airports so I'm not sure what is going on.  Any suggestions?

I have that happen also.  My work around has been to use Sayit' to ask the Tower for a frequency change to Ground and then the Tower responds .  Then I use 'Sayit' again to contact Ground and ask for 'taxi to gate' or 'parking', etc.

When you contact Ground it is one of those Pilot initiated calls where you have to tell Ground what you want.  As Bill says, you need to request "Taxi to the Ramp" or "request taxi to Gate 25", etc.

If you send me your P2A log file, I can have a look and see why the "Clear of Active" call is not triggering the proper response.

Log files are located in:

C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\P2A_200\Logs

where <UserName> is your PC user name

A new one is created each time you start Pilot2ATC, so if you take the most recent one when you have the error, you should have the correct one.

Dave, trying to send you the file, but for some reason it says that the security settings in my browser will not allow it.  Can't figure why FireFox will not all me to send you the file.

Send it as an attachment using your email system to admin@pilot2atc.com

The AVSIM forum doesn't allow directly embedding files in a post.  There is a process to upload files and include a link, but it would be easier to just email to me.

Thanks,

Ok, will do.  Thanks Dave.
