Aircraft spawn too high / cruise altitude when selected Approach for start of flight

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue

When the airport is chosen as Approach, so as to begin the flight with the aircraft already in the air on a glide slope for landing, the aircraft will begin flight say up to 30000 feet, but close enough to the runway to make such a landing impossible without an unrealistic dive manœuvre. Really spoils landing practices.
