Can't report airport in sight

[JT8D]

hello curitiba center, i can not report airport in sight. i know where the button normally is but does not show up.
Assume i have it in sight all the time

Also no atc prefferred routes at SBRJ show up.

Airport in sight is only available when you’ve issued to ATC that you’re doing a visual approach to your desired runway.

[JT8D]

i did. Doesn’t show up

That’s wrong,that option is always available. It might be a glitch for @JT8D this time.

I don’t think you can announce airport in sight to Center airspace anyways.

[Kyle]

You can, but only if you’ve been assigned a visual approach.

[parson]

Ah, alright.

Seems like a bug isolated to SBRJ as this was reported earlier as well

Airport in sight button not showing up

Hey all, I was currently approaching Santos Dumont and Approach told me to report airport in sight. But the button wasn’t showing up in the menu. I also requested a frequency change because I didn’t know what else to do, and I thought maybe he would understand but he said again: Report airport in sight. This is very frustrating as I needed to end the flight because I didn’t want to get reported. Is there any message you need to receive from ATC so the button is visible? Or is it a bug in the fr…

@JT8D did you take a screenshot of the ATC command menu showing the absence of the RAIS command? That could help to confirm.

Thanks for the answer! Already landed, but when approaching again i will do!
