I think it would be a good idea for career mode to skip to maybe 10 miles from airport rather than to right at the entry\final. It would still allow a decent amount of time to get setup or change if required.

Good idea. Gets my vote.
I guess this is also depending on the mission location and flight plan. I experience many times to opposite, skipping to 150-250NM away from the destination airport (mind you, with 208B at 11000 feet so its still a long way till decent). Usually this happens if the pattern entry is far from the last waypoint, but sometimes it works good and puts 40-50NM away in those occasions. Of course it also happens when it puts me right above the airport in cruise altitude and I can circle around for a while to drop. I think the problem is the inconsistency of these that is the problem overall, when I skip I have no clue where it will put me. Some people mentioned in other threads that they spawn on the airport itself with cruising speed.
make it at the decent phase and you’ve got my vote
