ATC giving me landing and descent instructions too early

Not even reached TOC and ATC was giving me destination descent and landing instructions. EGGP > EGJJ

Would be great if we could upload logs and flight plans here...

I've had this happen to me sometimes.  P2A seems to fall asleep occasionally.   Couple of suggestions.   Try getting a radio check.   That sometimes will wake it up if it is truly snoozing.   Ask for a particular approach and that usually gets things going.   If none of that works,  try "Ready to copy IFR clearance."   That usually always works. 

Honestly,  at least for me,  this sort of thing is pretty rare.

Hello Dave

 

After updating to version 0.2.7A, I noticed strange call, i was flying a route from OKKK to OMDB after cleared for take off from the tower P2A switch me to Kuwait Center on 125.300 immediately center gave me STAR Arrival instructions in OMDB and my flight planned i filed without STAR Arrival procedures it was direct to ILS RWY 12L and suddenly i found STAR Arrival was selected in P2A Window which is VUTEB3E

Any idea what cause that issue?

I don't know what might have caused the early arrival information call, but adding the STAR was likely a result of having the "ATC Assigns STAR" option set on the FltPln tab of Settings.  If you want to fly the route and procedures you enter in your flight plan, you should turn off the 3 "ATC Assigns ...." options and turn on the "Force Pilot Runway Selection" option so you won't get a runway change either.

Hi Dave

 

I just checked P2A in a flight from OKKK to OMDB with ATC Assigns SID and ATC Assigns STAR unchecked in Flt Pln tab, Force Pilot Runway Selection checked still same problem but this time P2A did not call me to handsoff to a new agency only showing in P2A instruction window with new frequency, flying without SID and STAR only departure Runway and Arrival Runway after takeoff while climbing to cruise Altitude assigned in simbrief flight plan (FL390) P2A keep calling me to descend to (FL220) instead of climbing to cruise Altitude assigned

 

Is that issue from P2A or Navigraph Data

 

Thank you

 

Best Regards

If you are seeing the new controller on the screen, most likely you still have some Microsoft online voices installed.  Unfortunately, they aren't working and it's possible Microsoft has purposely disabled them.

As for the call to descend to FL220, if you email the P2ATC log file to [email protected] I can have a look and see why this might have happened.
