The ATC Commands for RNAV and VOR Approaches Thread
It’s a very catchy title I know
Recently I thought I’d try my hand at flying a VOR approach because I’m bored of just letting LNAV and VNAV do the work and, by doing an approach like this I feel like I’m being a proper aviator. However as I neared the airspace where Approach and Tower were active I quickly realised that the game can’t actually facilitate what I wanted to do I discussed it in my topic My Struggles at St Maarten. Anyway I feel like this is a necessary feature to make best part of the flight more diverse.
How would it be added?
I imagine many of these commands have similarities with the clearances for GPS, ILS and visual approaches. I don’t know all of the phraseology but I’m sure there are people on the dev team who know what they’re doing. And for those of you who don’t know how to do these fun and interesting approaches there’s actually a tutorial for them in the Flight Guide so check that out as well as a YouTube tutorial for VOR navigation.
Finally…
I don’t expect many people to be screaming for this but those Av geeks and controllers out there who are looking for a different experience in the sim this is the feature for you!
And for those of you with technical questions I would direct you towards the IFATC who have much more knowledge than me. My research on the FAAs website was fruitless. Happy Flying!
