    Hi Dave, I have a question. Why the need to repeat a request if it was made by Pilot2ATC?

    This morning in a flight from KSAN to KLAX, I was instructed by ATC to taxi:

    DELTA One Zero One Taxi to Runway Two Seven Via taxiways Bravo, Bravo Six, Charlie Six, Charlie, Charlie One,  Hold Short Runway Two Seven

    Arrived at the holding point I asked for departure:

    DELTA One Zero One Ready for Departure Runway Two Seven; 

    I receive this instruction from ATC:

    DELTA One Zero One Backtrack Runway Two Seven Whinds are light and variable  Cleared for takeoff, Runway Two Seven
    ~Backtrack to Runway Two Seven then cleared for takeoff, runway Two Seven DELTA One Zero One
     Backtrack to Runway Two Seven then Cleared for Takeoff Runway Two Seven DELTA One Zero One; 

    After the auto read-back from Pilot2ATC I received this:

    DELTA One Zero One You were garbled.  Please say again. 
    Repeat your request.  Your phrase was not recognized. DELTA One Zero One

    Oups! By the way should Whinds be spelled Winds. 😉

    Thanks.

    Dave, I have a problem with the import of a .fms file.

    When I import a .fms file and validate it, I get a error "The STAR and Approach in the flight plan must be to the same Runway", but they do.

    I need to choose and reload the STAR/Transition and Approach/Transition for the validate to work.

    Here is a copy of the Flight Plan:

    Dave.

    When I import my flight plan with the option "ATC Ignores Bearing Based Altitudes", I still need to modify the Cruise Alt manually. Would it be possible to have Pilot2ATC enter the correct Flight Level imported. If it is supposed to ignore the Bearing, it should in this case set the Cruse ALT to FL350.

    Thanks

    Hi Dave, what about this situation. Is this a bug or I am misinterpreting?

    Flying from North to South (Porto to LIsbon)

    SymBrief gives me FL350 Pilot2ATC FL340
    LPPR/35 MANIK1E MANIK DCT XAMAX XAMAX8A LPPT/03

    In Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_level is see the following rule (see below in bold):

    Semicircular/hemispheric rule
    The semicircular rule (also known as the hemispheric rule) applies, in slightly different version, 
    to IFR flights in the UK inside controlled airspace and generally in the rest of the world. 
    The standard rule defines an East/West track split:

    Eastbound – Magnetic track 000 to 179° – odd thousands (FL 250, 270, etc.)
    Westbound – Magnetic track 180 to 359° – even thousands (FL 260, 280, etc.)

    At FL 290 and above, if Reduced Vertical Separation Minima are not in use, 
    4,000 ft intervals are used to separate same-direction aircraft (instead of 2,000 ft intervals below FL 290), 
    and only odd flight levels are assigned, independent of the direction of flight:

    Eastbound – Magnetic track 000 to 179° – odd flight levels (FL 290, 330, 370, etc.)
    Westbound – Magnetic track 180 to 359° – odd flight levels (FL 310, 350, 390, etc.)
    Countries where the major airways are oriented north/south (e.g., New Zealand; Italy; Portugal; France) 
    have semicircular rules that define a North/South rather than an East/West track split.

    In Italy, France and Portugal, for example, southbound traffic uses odd flight levels; 
    in New Zealand, southbound traffic uses even flight levels.

     

    Thanks.

    The wind speed is  the same...5 kts.   The wind direction is different because METARs report True direction and ATIS/Tower/etc. report wind in Magnetic.  The reports in P2A are given in Magnetic to reduce the confusion between what's displayed and what is reported by tower.  If you check the METAR display in P2A's Airport Info panel, you'll see it should match.

    Thanks.

    Sorry, yes I meant the direction.

    Hi,

    I have a problem, I think, with the Copilot Option. When I check the « Respond to Radios » option the « Changes Frequencies » automatically gets checked. Is this a normal condition? I would like to have the Copilot only do the read back. I would like to manually change the frequency.

    I am a new Pilot2ATC user (10 day trial). I have a beginner question.

    When I created a Flight Plan between two airports, Pilot2ATC draws a white line between them, but it also draws a magenta line from the last airport to “nowhere”.

    What is this magenta line?

    In X-Plane 11.10 the transponder has an ALT mode. The modes are Off, Standby, On, Alt and Test.

    Mode C (or ALT) transmits the altitude as well as the "squawk". When it is just ON, ATC sees who you are, but no altitude is displayed. Using Mode C, the radar will know the altitude as well.

    The problem I am referring to is that Pilot2ATC as no ALT mode.
