How do you Determine...


Recommended Posts

Take off and landing runways? I want to be accurate doing flights, and want to match up with what the airports are using in the sim for landing and taking off with the live traffic.

 

Anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.

For my local airport (Leeds/Bradford) I sometimes tune in to the ATIS (air traffic info service) which will say the runway in use.

The ATC in Flight Sim has always been correct so far, in that it gives me the same runway as being used in real life (mind you..the choice is only 14 or 32 :) )

Wind is often the deciding factor. You land and take off into wind.

So you need to know the wind direction for the airfield.

I use SkyVector for the winds at the takeoff and landing airports. I then select the corresponding runway from those airports and it works pretty well.

I use Little Nav Map for flight planning, so it gives you the current wind at DEP/ARR airports. Not 100% match to what is in MSFS, but usually pretty close.

 

Thanks so much for the advice guys. Its really appreciated.

I use Rex Weatherforce 2020. Look at the weather before hand.

 

Other times, I just google current Metar for departing/arriving airport and use that info.

 

Then set it up accordingly. I usually start at the gate then assign runway with the Departure procedure and then set up the arrival procedure with the active.
