Autoplan gives wrong Runway

Featured Replies

Hi, just seen that the AutoPlan feature of the Program gives all the time the wrong runways regarding the wind. It constatly choose the ones with tailwind (not very good if you not realize it and fly an approach with +20 knots Tailwind :D) 

Can you please look into it?

There are several settings that affect runway selection.

Match SIM Runway if Available - tries to determine what runway your SIM is using and uses that, regardless of wind

Force Pilot Runway Selection - Uses the runway currently in the flight plan, regardless of wind

Force Dep Rwy (in SID Selection window) - Forces the departure runway to whatever runway is in the SID Selection window whenyou press the Set Rwy button, even if no SID is selected

Force Arr Rwy (in STAR and Appr Selection Windows) - Forces the arrival runway to whatever runway is selected in the STAR or Appproach selection window when you press the Set Rwy button, even if not STAR or Approach is selected.

Weather Source - If your SIM is not using the same weather source as P2A, then the winds used to calculate the runway might be contrary to the winds in the SIM.
