Title: Changing FMS Runway Selection
Post by Longhornmaniac8 on Apr 13th, 2008 at 11:26pm
Hey all, I was messing around this afternoon in my CS 757, and I was coming into land at ORD. I was on the BDF5 STAR with the BAYLI transition. I had previously (earlier in the flight) selected 4R as my arrival runway as I thought that was what it would be given the winds. Of course, FS' stupid weather thought it'd be more fun to land with the wind. So I tried to change my arrival runway to 27L (after I had contacted the tower), and shoot the ILS 27L approach. I was well into the STAR by the time I could actually contact the tower to finally determine my arrival runway. When I tried to change it, it wanted me to backtrack and start the STAR all over again. Is there anyway to change or edit my route so that I don't have to backtrack (WITHOUT getting a route discontinuity)?

This was really frustrating after a 2.5 hour flight.

Any help/insight to the process is much appreciated.

PS: What is the MCP (in the manuals)?

Cheers,
Cameron
