Brief description of the issue:

Selecting arrival only on World Map is choosing a very strange altitude for final approach.

So far I’ve seen 37,000’ for the A320, and 12,000’ for the Caravan. Far too high for final approach!

To be clear, this is when you select an arrival only, and leave the departure field blank. It used to put >you nicely on final approach so you could continue to a landing from there.

I’ve noticed someone else mentioned this almost a year ago, with a bit of misunderstanding as to >what that problem was.

Anyone else noticed?
