Title: Re: ILS problems Post by Bobby Singh on Dec 29th, 2009 at 3:48pm
If you are asking this question about tutorial then no. That tutorial does not have it. I found myself in the same dilemma when I started using SIDs/STARs. SIDs was ok because I could find what the departing runway was for a particular airport using ATC clearance and then program my FMC accordingly. The problem was when arriving at the destination my STAR sometime was to the opposite of the arrival traffic due to wind patterns.
So for now I create my flight plan from origin to destination using FSX and then import it in FMC. I then use ATC to guide for departure and arrival. Using autopilot, I am able to capture glideslope for a good landing this way as well but the fun of configuring STARs is missing. I am not sure if this is possible but I was thinking of using ALT RTE option in FMC to configure an alternate route using the opposite side of the runway of the destination airport. There are only two possiblities for landing and if I cover both ends int two separate route, I can probably switch to the alternate route about 70 miles out if ATC assigns me opposite end of the runway than my originally programmed STAR. Don't know if it is possible but I will try |
