VFR: two nearby airports confused with each other

Featured Replies

Hi,

my first post here. I’ve been using P2A for quite some time and I’m really enjoying it!

During my last flight I encountered a problem. The situation:

  • a short VFR flight w/o flight plan from EPGD to EPOK (Oksywie), just ~15 nm away
  • departed with no issues, squawk 1200
  • called EPOK tower for landing
  • P2A correctly answered as Oksywie tower, but assigned me RW29 for landing
  • the problem is that RW29 is at EPGD, but not EPOK; the correct rw would be 31
  • after landing on RW31 I was advised that I landed on a wrong runway
  • upon taxi request I was directed to EPGD(!) ground frequency

I guess that P2A “thinks” that I am on EPGD all the time, and not EPOK, even though tower correctly introduced itself as EPOK (Oksywie) at the first contact. I checked via Taxi Mnt that P2A has correct runways for EPOK in its database. Any idea about how to avoid such confusion?

Best,

Piotr

You can file a flight plan with just the departure and destination airports.

Don't call for clearance, just file the plan.

You can then fly without VFR Flight Following and the program shouldn't get confused.

If you still have a problem, please email the log file for the flight to [email protected] and I can see if there is a bug causing the issue.
