December 16, 200223 yr Greetings:I'm working my way through the tutorial flights, and have had the following problem twice:I think it is the 3rd (or 4th) tutorial. The one where you take off from Smyrna, TN, and do a bunch of missed approaches at various airports in the area to learn about different options, depending on whether it is a controlled field, etc.Everything goes fine until I try selecting the Missed approach. So far I have noticed it mostly at KSYI (with NOTAMS selected, as per the instructions in the manual). I am cleared for the approach, and then eventually select "Missed Approach". The RC manual then says to select the "Hold As Publised" or "Land KTHA" options after the controller asks you to state intentions. I have shot this approach about 6 times now, but only ONCE have I ever been asked to state my intentions, or had the two above options to select from. The controller just acknowledges my Go-Around, and all I get no other contact with them. Eventually I select another VOR approach, and try again - but it appears that once this happens in this flight; I have to just land and re-start the tutorial from the beginning.The first time it happenned, I was told to go-around because my gear wasn't down, but as far as I can tell all the other times; I've been doing everything "by the book".Any idea what I am doing wrong here?Your help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance!:)
December 16, 200223 yr Can you please verify that you are clicking "Missed Approach" from the menu on either APC or Tower? This is as opposed to Tower telling you to go around.You or the CP if she has comms should call APC/Tower and say: " Missed Approach", then you are given altitude and heading instructions, then asked your intentions. After declaring a missed approach, you are always asked your intentions.
December 16, 200223 yr Sorry, I should have clarified that.There is no approach controller, and if I remember correctly (Unfortunatly I'm at work right now, and they don't like it when I bring the RC manual in to read..... ;) there might not even be a tower.The first time it happenned, it was the tower telling me to go around, and I did so. I believe I was handed back to Center, and given an altitude clearance, but then heard nothing else until I reselected the VOR approach.Other times, I was still in contact with Center, (no tower), and I don't think I got any clearances (just the "acknowledgement"), or other communication until I reslected the VOR approach.Then I just kept going around and around hoping someone would ask my intentions - but never got that option.
December 16, 200223 yr And yes.I was selecting "2" for Missed Approach. From the tower, center, and anyone else that would listen :) All I get back is "Acknowledged"No further clearances or other options to select Hold As Publised, or Land at an alternate.
