Hey guys,
Got a question about landing procedures that I don’t find quite clear in the tutorial. And I find it a bit confusing compared to FSX or other sims. I want to make sure I understand this right.
Situation: when you contact an airbase and call “inbound”, the airport gives you’re a direction, nmiles to, QFE and runway.
Questions:
First, what the hell is a QFE? (strangely, I can’t recall hearing that before)?
Second, I am a bit confused about how to calculate the distance in nmiles to the airport in given heading. I’m sure there’s a way to set a “distance traveled” , I just don’t know how.
Third, once you get to the approach position, is the tower supposed to contact you for your final approach vector/clearance, or you have to contact the tower? The game isn’t clear and doesn’t seem to behave the same way everytime. Again in FSX you contact the tower to call final approach ready… (?)
Thanks a lot for the help with these 3 questions!
Cheers and fly save
