Approach Altitude

Featured Replies

It seems that most of the planned flights with FS2004 and RC 3.1,I have problems with final approach.[Note: I didn't have these problems with FS2002]. What is happening is, that as I am approaching the airport, approach has me too high. I end up having to turn off AP before the RC co-pilot turns the aircraft over to the pilot, just so I can manually get the aircraft low enough to land.What am I doing wrong? As anybody else experienced this?Thanks for your time,Paul

What airport are you flying into and what's the MSA on the controller's page for it? APC will only lower you to that altitude. The latest, unreleased, build of 3.1 takes into account the terrain altitude under you on base and final, or approach for uncontrolled airports (where Center handles you).
