can any1 pl explain how to do vordme approaches when vor is not near the runway?. the reason i am asking is that 1. when vor is not near the runway and we set the course in the vor from the approach it does not lead us towards the runway as the vor station is away from the runway. In such cases if i LOC the vor then i will not take me toward the runway. eg is below link https://1drv.ms/i/s!AsC_T1OTnSaeyg3YaoJUwuERNDzQ if i set a course of 177 in vor , then it will not lead me towards the runway. please advise if iam not getting things correct

Hi Everyone, Recently, I've been trying to manually build approaches for Teniente R. Marsh Airport (SCRM), In Antarctica. But, when I enter the airport SCRM in to the RTE page on the FMC, Ive been getting many various errors. Ive been able to overcome all but one; "ERR AT RNW11 LINE 36". I have looked at Terry Yingling's tutorial, which has helped a lot but it has not solved my last problem. I was hoping you guys could help me out. Here is what I've done, I'd appreciate if you could help me nail down what I've done wrong. Cheers, Alex

Hello Avsimmers! I apologise if this is the wrong place, but I wanted to post this where I knew there was knowledge. Lately I have been flying the BEAUTIFUL FSLabs a320 around Europe, however into airport with long runways on 20 mile finals.... which can get boring. So I found some great freeware airports, (Paphos, Zakynthos and Kefallonia) but they all have VOR/DME LOC/DME and RNAV approaches. I watched a Blackbox711 video on these, yet this was very confusing for me as I didn't fully understand all the terminology he was using (e.g. Radial, Outbound Course, Inbound Course) I was wondering whether someone could explain (very basically) the difference between these and the meaning of relevant info e.g. Course, Radial, etc. Also, if you could explain how some A320 functions are used in these situations that would be helpful. Thanks! Canine

Hi there i got some problems with my fbw a320nx . For example today i tried to fly from epwa (Warsaw) to eddb (Berlin) , i done everything as always and when time came for approach to set in fplan i could not enter any STAR there was no stars to choose only. I had this problems on every german Airport i tried and on some of not german ones too.

I selected a STAR approach and it was a complete bust. It could have been the approach I selected, it just didn’t work correctly. The last two legs were not what I was expecting. It didn’t come close to a valid approach. I must be missing something. I may need to look at how to do a STAR approach via a tutorial. I was curious about ATC Vectors. Is there away to integrate this into the flight plan of P2ATC, where you are vectored to the 30’ intercept for the ILS? I am using Navigraph w/ Charts. But used SimBrief. Is there a good method to using these tools? Thanks!

A while back some guys did some work on creating the data to allow us to do the RNP approaches into NZQN - quite a task as the NGX at the moment isnt fully capable of flying many RNP procudres, but also as these particular plates are not completly publicly published as they are only allowed to be flown by certain operators. I have this data, but its now completley out of date as NZQN have radically changed all of there procedures, including SIDS and STARS, and introduced new GNSS approaches into NZQN. Although they still appear in the AIP at present - these NOTAMS B5780/12 NOTAMN Q) NZZC/QPIAW/I/NBO/A/000/999/4501S16844E005 A) NZQN B) 1302061100 C) PERM E) REF AIP NZQN AD 2-45.1 QUEENSTOWN RNAV (RNP) Z RWY 05: PUBLISHED IFR APCH PROCEDURE COMPLETELY WITHDRAWN REF AIP NZQN AD 2-45.2 QUEENSTOWN RNAV (RNP) Z RWY 23: PUBLISHED IFR APCH PROCEDURE COMPLETELY WITHDRAWN Show that the RNP Z approaches are now withdrawn, however there is still a RNP Y. The NAVDATA from Aersoft contains the newer sids and stars (well most of them - again missing some of the RNP procedures) but these are not too difficult to create as the points have track adn distance marked on the charts - but may need some tweaking still due to the RNP nature of these points. I have added these myself to the navdata now. When it comes to the new GNSS and the VOR approaches and the RNP Y approach Im looking at trying to add these also as there probably enough data on the charts this time to create them and then do some tweaking to help build in the RNP paths better. However a little help please on understanding the charts with refrence to the visual circuits that are contained on these charts. Lets say take the VOR/DME B approach the latter part of the approach tracks inbound to the QN vor with a MAPT at 2DME QN with the MAPT to have you fly off from the QN on a radial to AFTON. However there is included on the chart a Visual circuit published. Flying this approach are you expected to follow the inbound radial to the QN and aslong as you are visual then fly the orbiting right visual circuit pattern to land on 23(or even in fact 05 by flying the other way) or as you track down the inbound radial you turn direct for the runway when visual? or even a combination here that you can fly the VOR B regardless of landing runway, but fly straight in if on 23, but do the visual circuit if landing 05 or should the visual circuit be flown in both cases? This circuit(or version) of exits on the GNSS appraoches also, and so again is this the case of flying manually the visual circuit or is it the intention that the last RNP point is from where you would then turn direct to the runway?

Name: FS Instant Approach Version 1.5 for FSX and FS2004 Category: Commercial Product Videos Date Added: 19 November 2013 - 06:38 AM Submitter: Jeff Preston Short Description: FS Instant Approach Version 1.5 for FSX and FS2004 FS Instant Approach Version 1.5 published May 18 2012. This is a detailed, longer description of the core features of this exciting add-on. *** Please note that while this is a detailed video of core features of Instant Approach, the latest product is FS Instant Approach PRO, which has a great many more features. As with all our products, you can download a free demo, with no time limit, from our website (see link below). *** If you have not yet tried this fun new add-on for FSX and FS2004 you can download a demo for free from http://www.FSInventions.com This new version is a free update to registered customers. You can now optionally set the altitude for your approach if you do not wish the program to compute it automatically. A new set of filters allow you to set the minimum and maximum length of a randomly chosen runway. This is a great way to practice short field approaches... or to make sure there is enough room to land that big airliner! Also - with the introduction of FS Instant Approach version 1.6 (see video here on YouTube) you can begin your approach at an offset angle from the final approach and then fly to an intersecting point and turn onto final. You choose the length of this intersecting leg and of course of the final leg. Why not give it a try today? View Video
