lonewulf47 83 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Gentlemen, I wonder a bit that nobody has ever noticed a major shortcoming on this airport: ALL ILS-DME distances are WRONG as the DME's are placed at the localizer antenna instead onf the GP antenna. Therefore the DME distance at touchdown DOES NOT read ZERO as it should. All four ILS' are affected by this bug! I didn't check on other airports but I'm afraid that this bug is present on other airports too as it is a common misunderstanding. Oskar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton 97 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Most developers do their sceneries to match the real thing, are you sure you found a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewulf47 83 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Uhmm, yes Bruce, I'm definitely sure . LSZH Zurich is my home airport and I've done a few thousand IFR landings here and furthermore I'm working now for a company that produces route-manuals for airlines. I can tell you that all four ILS-DME's are reading ZERO at the touchdown-point (0.2 NM after THR). I have checked the AF2 files and they indeed show all four DME's at the LOC position. Yes, I'm definitely sure about that, don't worry Oskar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
