Hey all,
I am Patrick and I am using IYP for quite a while now. I'm usually
flying IFR flights with direct GPS routing. In the voice commands
lists, I read about flight following. It says that I can always envoke
my copilot to make a flight following announcement by saying "make a
flight following announcement". So far, so good, but it doesn't work.
In fact, it only gives me the usual clicking sound, but nothing in
addition. I activated flight following, cargo flight following and
general aviation flight following, but mike remains silent, as far as
flight following announcements are concerned.
I always have a cruising altitude of something over 20000 feet with
cargo/passenger airlines such as the boeing, and the with general
aviation aircrafts mike should already start giving flight following
announcements after reaching 3000 feet.
Is there anything I did wrong? Is it possible that the required data
for flight following announcements for IYP is missing, does all that
belong to the database which might need an update?
I hope somebody can help me.
Best regards,
Patrick.
