Dear Community Members and IFS Pilots :)
I’d like to share here 2 screenshots:
What we can see on the screenshots is that twice someone entered the rwy, though an aircraft (mine) was about to land. So I had to go around.
I don’t think we need to be expert pilot or flying on expert to know that when an aircraft is about to land, we shouldn’t enter the rwy:)
I have also observed that the ATC cleared one of these aircrafts for take. Even then, please always (whatever the server) checking, if there is any incoming aircraft / if you can enter the rwy.
Training server doesn’t mean “we do what we want”, but that’s the server where you train yourself flying professionally, respecting rules …
Also, if you are an experienced pilot, be exemplary to others, even on expert or casual server, that’s how the less experienced pilots learn.
That means, whatever the server, if there is a case like that and you are the pilot in the incoming aircraft, go around, if you see an aircraft in the rwy, don’t land through or on or in front / behind of the aircraft on the rwy.
Of course you still learn but in my opinion there is a nuance between knowing about rules and good sens of behavior. I don’t think either you’d ride your bike on a way in the moment another bike is arriving(well at least I hope you wouldn’t 😂)
Just to be clear, I don’t want to blame anyone, I hope the pilots we can see on the screenshots see this and take it as an experience, so next time they check first, if they can enter the rwy.
A little hint, you can enter the rwy for an immediate take off(means you enter the rwy and take off without stopping, if the incoming aircraft is in the middle of the final (final that’s the red triangle/ILS approach , it’s grey when it’s a GPS approach ) and if it’s in the beginning of the final you got a bit more time to enter center yourself, stop then take off.
If you got any questions about rules, feel free to ask, you can also pm me or other experienced pilots.
Thank you all for your attention.
