Even if it does work, if one were to fly it by the book, it would not be finishable.
The checkride comes preprogrammed for the RNP 27 approach at Sumburgh
ATC however clears you for the RNP 09 approach with the circle to land to RW24.
That’s the first issue.
The next is that the chart’s in the EFB are locked to the Ground Chart and you can’t look up the approach plate.
If you do it outside of the sim, you’ll see the next issue. With the preset whether none of the approaches are legal.
Apart from the fact that the LIDO charts are for C and D Category only looking up the A category minima does show you the problem:
The cloud base is too low for the circling and direct in approach.
Even if you assume that you are supposed to fly the RNP27 instead of what ATC tells you (the wind is 12 Knots from the west so that would make sense), you will have no visual reference for neither a circling approach at 800ft Minima nor at 470ft for a straight in approach.
So you can’t land.
You have to do it, despite it being illegal.
That’s not exactly how an IFR Checkride can be passed…
So I’d ask for this mission to be revised so that it can actually be legally flown as a proper IFR approach.
After all you want to teach people how to do it right, don’t you?
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Same problem here, I’ve been flying at 110 knots / 5000 alt for 20 minutes and nothing happens. After 20 minutes, instructor asks me ‘where are you going’ and then he stops talking again.
I second every point you described. And it is related to the exam (certification), don’t remember about the last training lesson, perhaps it is a problem there too.
The best I could do was to request ILS27 approach, but it even when I use autopilot and I follow the glide slope it still concerns in the aftermath my ability to follow the prescribed altitudes (yes, I keep my altitude 2100 before I reach D6.4 ISG ). Almost A, but still a B is the best score I can get here
At the IFR Test i also can fly at 5000 ft with 110kts for I don’t know how long and nothing happens. At the Certification I Start at 3500 ft and the instruction is decent to 4200ft!?! I also don’t have a GPS route, so I can pass the certification only with an external map!
PS: I hope my english is not so bad!
My “solution” for reaching a heading and altitude and it not triggering the next step of the training, has been to change the barometric pressure (which affects altitude) from the default 29.92, and change it greater and lower and it’ll trigger the next step (as it thinks the plane is now higher or lower to trigger the event), then set back to 29.92. BTW, the knob to change the pressure is on the right side of the PFD, the outer knob (Barometric Pressure) of the “triangle” shaped heading change knob.
Alternatively, maybe flying a few hundred OVER the requested flight level may also trigger it? I’ve had to do this to trigger steps in career missions. The ol’ “Just fly a little higher”.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
•yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
No further instructions except to fly at 5000ft @ 110knots. Following precisely after 10-15 minutes the instructor asks “where are you going” then nothing else happens. Everytime this happens. Tried re loading the game, changing baro, happens everytime. Cannot progress any further in game because of it.
