Times that ATC becomes nonresponsive...

Featured Replies

In a recent flight with P2ATC 0.2.7A and X-Plane I went missed because I was set up to land on one runway and I was cleared for the approach on another.  (hmmm.... maybe ATC could have said something?)   Somewhere along the line while trying not to crash I forgot to communicate what I was doing (aviate, navigate, communicate!).  Ultimately, I came back around and landed on a parallel runway without clearance.  I was unable at that point to get P2ATC to respond to me, such as reporting clear of runway, requesting taxi to parking/gate, etc.  And I even had the copilot make these calls for me in its well-formatted syntax.  Yes, I know I landed without clearance, but does that give P2ATC the right to ghost me?  Seems that if I miss a critical handoff, and then get back to it later, P2ATC is still thinking I am back were I was 15-30+ minutes ago, and does not react to the current situation,e.g. on the runway or taxiway or at the ramp.  At least it should respond and call out a possible pilot deviation for landing without clearance, etc...

Also, I find it hard to get to get ATIS once P2ATC is started.  With the xplane ATC on, I get atis as soon as I hit the atis frequency.  With P2ATC atis, I have to switch back and forth to other frequencies and then finally back to ATIS before the ATIS broadcast starts.  Seems to me that when P2ATC connects, it should look at the radio settings and if ATIS is up, it should start the ATIS immediately.

Also, on a recent landing I turned the wrong way off the runway.  I got my taxi clearance, but had to turn around and go back the other way.  P2ATC couldn't really tell that I was on the wrong side of the runway, wouldn't give me permission to cross the runway again (and basically ghosted me again)

Update: cold & dark start seems to affect the ATIS.  Today I connected P2ATC with the radios fully powered up and the ATIS started right away.
