The other day I tried letting P2A assign the approach and now I have a question. I was arriving via ANJLL4 to RWY 25L in KLAX and was assigned ILS 25L but without a transition. ILS 25L has 5 different IAFs. Once I got to the last waypoint of the ANJLL4 arrival which happens to be CRCUS I was given a direct to HUNDA. This was unusual since I could have joined the ILS at CRCUS. I verbally requested the CRCUS transition but P2A didn’t understand. So I went to set the request via the P2A menu so that P2A would verbally request the approach, but there is no option to add an approach transition to the request.

Are approach transitions not implemented in P2A verbal requests?

At the end I uploaded and activated the approach via the procedures button and P2A worked fine.

This is a speech recognition issue.  Requesting the CRCUS transition would be interpreted as Circus and the transition wouldn't be found, in most cases.  This is on our list of things we would like to implement, but have not found a solution yet, short of requesting transition Charlie Romeo Charlie Uniform Siera.

I will look into possibly implementing it via the Smart Copilot so you can at least request it using the Copilot phrase options.
