Hello!
My problem is: If I not cancel the IFR, the Airline Procedures often only 75%
Usually there is no problem at the airports has only visual approach because the atc automatically offer you to cancel IFR. But if my flight plan has ILS, RNAV… approach, the ATC navigate me to end of flight. I’ve done every mission step that ATC expects from me, but i almost always get 75% for Airline Procedures if the approach is IFR. Is it a bug or do i something wrong?

Thank you. :slight_smile:

Update: Maybe the problem is the tower controlled airport. I ask manually the landing intention. The tower cleared the runway, and i acknowledged that, but after landing, the tower ask me acknowledge the last transmission. (or did you copy) Doesn’t matter. This wasn’t the first time when i reckognised this issue with ATC, after landing. So i think the problem is the controlled airport.

I got 75% Airline Procedures again.

Thanks for attention :slight_smile: (and sorry for my bad english)

I know about this issue.
I think it can be s bug or a „missconception“.

What i do is the following;

After i get the approach clearance from the controller, i add it in the EFB (change runway, change approach) load it to the plane AND ATC and follow the instructions or the glidescope as set up in the FMS.

On this way i follow the instructions correctly.

And what happens when MSFS puts you in a no-win situation. I just had an IFR flight where I was cruising at 11,000 feet. I’m told to cancel IFR and continue VFR. Great. Except I’m above the cloud and there is a wall of cloud between me and the airport. Destination was VFR but I had to descend through cloud to get under it. Pinged hard for company procedures of course.

That will happen when your destination airport has no IFR procedures. From another thread (EDIT found it: ATC cancels IFR while cruising - though the circumstances described are a bit different) someone gave the tip to not directly cancel IFR when requested, but to descend first and only cancel when in VMC. Did that yesterday, and despite descending through a closed cloud ceiling, i still got 100% company procedures.
