Hidden approach assignment

Featured Replies

Hi all, 

I have the following problem: I plan a flight from A to B with some waypoints in-between. Then I hit file and an approach is added automatically. So far so good. When flying I have the flightplan without the approach loaded as I never received a clearance. When I get to my last waypoint P2ATC expects to fly the approach even though I never got a clearance. Is the approach part of the filed flightplan and therefore I am expected to start flying it even with no mention of it from ATC? Is there a way to be assigned an approach while in the air so I don't know what I'll get? 

Thanks in advance!

Uncheck the "Auto Load Recommended Procedures" option on the FltPlan tab of Config.

I would also uncheck the "ATC Assigns STARs" option so you don't get a STAR assigned mid-flight and find yourself off course or be sure your last waypoint is the first waypoint of a good STAR for the destination Runway and approach likely to be assigned.

You can then enter the SID, if given one, before departure, fly the route, and manually enter the STAR, if given and the Approach when you get the arrival call.

This is most useful when flying GA type aircraft where SIDs and STARs are not a factor.

Fantastic, thank you Dave! I'm fly GA exclusively. Didn't know about the auto load option. 

Thanks for the great product and support :)
