I am having difficulty to understand how I can identify the specific approach assigned by P2ATC when there are several with the same procedure (ex: RNAV X, Y , Z or ILS X, Y, Z).

An exemple of this is flying to NZQN. P2ATC ATC assigned to me an RNAV approach to runway 23. Actually there are 4 RNAV approaches that can lead to runway 23 according to Navigraph: RNAV 23 Z, RNAV (unspecified runway) G, RNAV(unspecified runway) F and RNAV(unspecified runway) H, they are completely different.

How do I know which one to follow? 

Additional related questions:

In the example of flying to NZQN and after assigning the RNAB 23 approach eventually P2ATC ATC instructed me to follow vectors to runway 23 while I was expecting to follow one of those RNAV approaches:

- Why?

- How to know the vertical profile to follow during vectors navigation?

PS: P2ATC is excellent and I am very much enjoying it

The specific approach name is displayed underneath the approach button and in the flight plan 'via' column.

If it is assigned by ATC, then it should be displayed below the Connect button, assuming you have the option to display ATC Assignments turned on.

I will have to look at verbally specifying in situations like this where there are so many different RNAV approaches.  The program does not currently do that.

Thank you Dave for your quick reply.

In my case the approach is assigned by ATC. So I understand now that the specific approach name is displayed below the Connect button. This is vey helpful.

It will be indeed great if this can be verbally announced by ATC in a future update.

Hi Dave,

I have just made the same flight to NZQN. ATC assigned approach RNAV to runway 23. This was indeed displayed under the Connect button however without any mention to letter (Z, F, G or H)  just (RNAV - RW23).  Therefore I still don't know what specific RNAV approach  ATS has assigned. 

Thanks  for your help.

I'll look at that. 

Thanks for the report.
