Tower Handover at IF

Featured Replies

Team

I think this is about tweak #5.

This is the one I am using to enhance my use of Vox co-pilot with PMDG's 77F/77W at busy multi runway hubs (& adjoining other busy airports) where approach to those airports is all on the one congested frequency (eg NORCAL to KSFO / KOAK / KSJC).

If you use fsad for non-vectored approaches, you often do not receive a handover to tower earlier enough to receive a landing clearance, partly because of approach congestion but also because the handover is often after a 4 dme report.

The tweak to "ensure" handover at 8-10nm & clearance by 4-6nm is to rename the Approach's FixIdent (usually the FAF) to that of the IF's FixIdent.

If this is of interest, let me know for how if you need such.

for now, cheers
