usb777 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Why is it that sometimes when asking permission to land at an airport, without a flight plan of course I get a response that landing is denied airport is under IFR.

CRJ_simpilot Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 This has happened to me before when I fail to realize the airport I'm going to is under IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions) looking at the weather in AS16 and file a flight plan to fly IFR. What I do is flip the bird, :D and land anyway. When I pull off the runway and turn onto the taxiway I then ask ground for parking. They'll happily oblige like there was no FAA violation or anything. What the Sim is trying to do is mimic real-life procedures when there is absence of a flight plan to conduct IFR flying. But the Sim is really, really bad at real-life procedures as it is and when I get the airport is closed crap I just land anyway. Now note if you happen to make your own flight plans for AI, you'll want to use the IFR flag in the plan. If you don't and they are VFR and the airport they are trying to land at is in IMC, they'll constantly request landing and circle the airport making your landing with the constant radio traffic highly annoying. Plus the AI plane won't land. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

Yes, that's because the weather is below minima. Either file IFR and land or fly to the alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 As mallcott says, it's because the field is under IFR (Instrument Flight Rules). Without an instrument flight plan you must be VFR, and the weather must be VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions), basically ceiling at least 1,000 feet AGL and visibility at least 3 miles. So you need to go to where it is VFR or file an IFR plan. That's a real world response, as well as a sim response. Larry N. As Skylab would say: Remember: Aviation is NOT an exact Science!

Dwaffler Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 And another thing, check the weather at your destination before flying so you know, or will have a good idea, of which runway to land on when you get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
