Runway "0" at McAllen

Featured Replies

Here's a strange one. I flew two legs of COA1545 today. The first leg KCLE-KIAH went normally (except for the 125-140 kt headwinds :-eek ). I taxied to Gate C37 at KIAH and ended my RC session. I did not restart FS2k2 or ActiveSky. I entered KMFE into the ActiveSky destination block and it downloaded normally (I'm new to ActiveSky and really like it). I started RC again for my next leg. The flight went normally until I was told by McAllen approach to expect vectors for Runway Zero. I attempted to ask for another runway, thinking he meant r/w 36. There were no other choices! :-( So, I set myself up for a r/w 13 ILS approach. As I left 9,000 ft I was severly admonished by ATC -- Several times to mind my altitude, etc. Finally I asked for a Full ILS approach and that was approved. I landed normally after that. I ended the session without hearing from Mr. Bill -- whom I had been warned would be waiting for me. Has anyone else had this occur? I checked the r file to insure that all the runways for KMFE were in there (they were) so I'm baffled. I didn't save the flight so I can't send it in.Steve

I suspect that I had a corrupted airport file.
