alpha117 51 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Just started EGCC(Manchester) First 3 outbounds were: CAL 4855 to: Monty AFR 8075 to: Hon BAW7908 to: Desig ..and this is where they fly 'direct to'....no surprise there!, hence the to: in the flight strip. But as we all know they should fly the SID as per departure direction and active runway. Yes you have the command 'CAL 4855 J MONT1R', but ATC does not allocate SIDs at departure time, unless there are very special circumstances. FMC already programmed before leaving the gate! So, after reading another post on this forum, this is perhaps a 'game' and not a 'simulation' Unless I've missed something! Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha117 51 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 just had FIN7160 follow the WAL1R SID SAS4351 departed straight after FIN7160 did not follow WAL1R SID I'm confused, which is very easy BTW :-) Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha117 51 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 OK, looks like I 've sorted this out 1. Line up 2. Give 'direct to' first WP of SID 3.'Takeoff'...press button AC will then fly the SID! This is not correct procedure for ATC Please advise, if i'm missing something here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha117 51 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Let's say in a very 'heavy' traffic environment; you have to 'micro manage' every departure,then you have will not be able to deal with flights in an effective way. Surely that can't be right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobsonM 94 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Please be sure that you have auto follow option enabled: Also at EGCC this is not perfect as the first waypoint is on the runway. This is NavData thing, not GATC - can't help that one much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha117 51 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Thanks Robert, that option is now 'ticked' Perhaps it should be 'ticked' by default Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha117 51 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Robert, you're right now departures are flying a 360 path to pick up the first WP out of EGCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
