Handling the approach
As you know, whether you are a real-life pilot or a flight simulator
enthusiast, the approach and landing are the most challenging
situations when flying an aircraft. This is also the case for FDC Live
Cockpit! 2011. You might need to perform a missed approach, or
you might feel like performing a Touch’N’Go at your favourite
airport. Or you might find yourself a little below the glideslope, and
want to climb a little to align yourself better with the glideslope.
How will FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 actually handle these different
situations to find out what you are actually doing?
Missed approach
Most pilots will at some point or another have experienced a missed
approach. This can happen due to wind conditions, visibility, and
other technical reasons. You will also sometimes have to perform
missed approaches in Flight Simulator. FDC Live Cockpit! 2011
detects a missed approach if you start climbing above the glide slope
of the runway, if the runway is ILS equipped. Otherwise, starting to
climb during the Approach phase will be interpreted as a missed
approach. FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 will in these cases automatically
issue a Gear up call. However, you must manually restart the
Approach checklist, should you wish to run it. You do this by hitting
Ctrl-Shift-Space.
In case of a missed approach, the GPWS will be reset, and you will
receive the GPWS calls again when you start descending to attempt a
new approach.
